Aquashard Shatter

The Aquashard Shotgun is a craftable Pre-Hardmode gun. When used, it shoots a spread of 2-3 bullets. If Musket Balls are used as ammo, the bullets are replaced with aquamarine shards that split into 1-2 smaller weakly homing shards upon contact with an enemy, which deal 60% of the weapon's damage each.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

• It is considered a side-grade to the Boomstick, as it trades higher damage and bullet count for a faster fire rate, auto-fire, and the ability to shoot splitting bullets given that Musket Balls are used.
