Reload to transform. One of the earliest gun experiments, before the fires of the Forge were lit. This "magic revolver" was created when the then-master of the Gungeon taped one of his staves of power to the top of the barrel.

Special Delivery:

If the player has [Owl] , the gun's and [Owl] 's shots bounce, and [Owl] turns skeletal and fires letters at enemies. With this synergy, quickly switching between a synergy gun and a non-synergy gun will make [Owl] rapidly blank if bullets are near and rapidly shoot.

[Owl]

Notes

  • This gun fires faster when shot rapidly like a semi-automatic weapon, rather than holding the trigger like an automatic.
  • Chicken Arise - If the player also has [Magic Bullets] , the chance for Staff of Firepower to transmogrify enemies and size of bullets are increased.
  • Special Delivery - If the player has [Owl] , the gun's and [Owl] 's shots bounce, and [Owl] turns skeletal and fires letters at enemies. With this synergy, quickly switching between a synergy gun and a non-synergy gun will make [Owl] rapidly blank if bullets are near and rapidly shoot.
  • This synergy strangely also affects [Baby Good Shelleton] , making its lasers bounce off of walls and enemies.
  • The beam-like bullets can be absorbed by Gunjurers .

Trivia

  • This gun is a reference to the Fire Rod from the Legend of Zelda series. Its beam-like effect most-closely resembles the Fire Rod's original incarnation, as a "synergy" between a Magic Rod and a "Book of Magic" (or the Bible) in the first game. The tagline "Missing Link" refers to Link, the protagonist of The Legend of Zelda, directly. The term "missing link" also refers to any freshly-discovered specimen with elements of both an older species and a newer one, presumed to be from a transitional period. In this case, the link is between the old magic of an ancient Gungeon master (possibly the Gunslinger ) and the Gungeon's newer Guns.
  • The synergy Chicken Arise is a reference to Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode "Video Ouija", in which a witch doctor named Billywitchdoctor.com attempts to resurrect Master Shake, who had been killed earlier in the episode, by chanting "ARISE CHICKEN, CHICKEN ARISE!!" repeatedly.
