Pulse Pistol
The Pulse Pistol is a craftable Pre-Hardmode magic gun. When used, it fires a pink pulse that is unaffected by gravity. It can bounce onto nearby enemies on hit and pierce twice. The pulse dissipates upon contact with tiles.
The weapon consumes 0.05 units of charge per use and has a maximum charge of 50. As such, the weapon can be used continuously from full charge 1000 times, or for 5 minutes and 33 seconds.
Its best modifier is Mythical. However, the weapon's knockback will not be affected due to already being 0.
