The Sin of Gluttony Infused in a Weapon

A Burst Cannon aimed at a monster is an experience out of this world. Without fearing the monster's ferocity, players can shoot it down just like they would kill a pesky bug. The Safi Burstcannon is one of the most damage-delivering Bowguns in the game.
It goes without saying that supreme things come at a cost. Players have to be veterans if they want to get their hands on this beast of a gun. Safi'jiiva is the monster responsible for dropping the parts of this Bowgun, and players won't encounter it until they've achieved Master Rank.
4 Griffon Blazooka +
Slice Through Monsters Like Through Butter

- Rarity: 10
Killing flies with a shotgun is quite disastrous. At the same time, it requires massive skill. With the Griffon Blazooka +, players can cut monsters down as easily as they would slice through butter. However, mastering this weapon requires hunters to play their cards right.

While the weapon is not the best choice for beginners, its rough aim can be adjusted with some mods. That's one reason why beginners should refrain from touching this Bowgun. Only veteran players with the courage and faith in their abilities can handle this beast.
3 Mightning +
A Lethal Weapon That's Hard to Get

- Rarity: 11
Although some players might not rate it very highly, those who have hands-on experience with this weapon will understand why it's called the Mightning +.
A monster can't stand many shots from this weapon. Unlike many other weapons in the game, this Bowgun is underrated and getting hands on it is equally complicated. Just don't give up hope, and keep trying to get it.

1 Ruinous Destruction
Carry Out Mass Destruction
- Attack Power: 465
