 * Wielder: Gauthak Fulgur Valun
 * Maker/Smith: Gauthak Fulgur Valun
 * Type: Dust Pump Shot Axe (BHSA)
 * Weapon Derivation: shotgun, battle axe, blacksmiths hammer
 * Form 1: A massive pump-action shotgun, measuring 2 yards long with a 3 inch diameter barrel. mounted on the barrel and is a large pair of axe blades, one of which is on a rotating hinge. mounted in the stock is a rotating dust mechanism containing three tanks, one each of earth, lava, and fire. features a 10 round tube magazine which can be ejected manually and replaced, or reloaded through the breach. standard load is .60 inch steel shot in a 3 inch by 4 inch shell
 * Form 2: Moving axe head rotates into position and locks
 * Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: stored in form 1 on a magnetic sheath worn beneath whatever outfit he is wearing
 * Features/Capabilities: dust mechanism allows single charges to be injected into the firing chamber by a thumb switch located on the pump. carries 5 spare magazines, one extra standard shot, one of slugs, one of explosive slugs, one of 000 buck and one of force dust 'knockback' loads. magazines are color coded.
