Boltor

The Boltor is a Tenno assault rifle with a unique characteristic of firing bolt projectiles, instead of conventional bullets. This requires the user to take into account projectile travel time while aiming at targets, as well as the projectile drift, this renders the Boltor ineffective beyond medium ranges. Despite this, the Boltor can still easily punish target within close proximity. Its high Puncture damage makes it an excellent close-quarters rifle against heavily armored targets.
