The blaze pistol fires small harpoons that stick into monsters, the shafts visibly protruding until they detonate several seconds after striking the target. The damage comes from the explosion; there is no injury dealt by the actual shot, so using this weapon requires patience and steely nerves. Players are usually retreating from onrushing monsters and even after you shoot them successfully, you've got to wait a few seconds for the explosion. A keen eye for estimating damage is necessary, so you don't waste a second shaft firing it into a monster that's going to die when the first one blows up.
