You're going to regret this the rest of your life...
This review was machine-translated from the Japanese original. Numbers are checked against the original; if the wording reads oddly, the Japanese version is authoritative.
When you release the trigger, the fired projectile explodes, a charge‑operated shotgun. Made by Ripper, added in Bounty Pack 2 “Legend of the Stone Demon”. It has a slightly quirky behavior that requires awareness of the timing of firing and releasing.
🧩 Red text source “You’re going to regret this the rest of your life…” is a quote from the 1993 film Demolition Man where protagonist John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone) says it to a suspect (cited by multiple BL4 guide DBs). In the movie it continues with “Both seconds of it.” as a sarcastic punchline. It also fits the name Hair Trigger (= a trigger that can explode at a moment’s notice).
What kind of shotgun? (Beginner’s perspective)
- Ripper-made shotgun. The projectile explodes the moment you release the trigger (Timed Charge behavior)
- A quirky weapon that requires timing of charge → release = requires practice
