DRW Boomstick

The boomstick is a combo weapon that can be built by combining a shotgun with a pitchfork which is attached to the top, like a bayonet.

Attacks

 * Primary: Tap the button (stab a zombie with the pitchfork, and fire, killing any zombies that are behind the blast. This results in 200 prestige points per zombie killed by this method).
 * Secondary: Hold down the button (stabs the zombie with the pitchfork, lifts it up, and shoots it off in gibs using the shotgun. The heavy attack uses three shots instead of one, but results in 2500 prestige points. Even if the gun has less than three shots remaining it will still fire three for one last heavy attack.).
 * Thrown: Hold down the trigger to go into aim mode then press the  button to throw it one handed, over hand, presumably the same way you throw the pitchfork.

Jed is armed with this weapon and can aim and use the shotgun as a firearm, unlike Chuck who can't use the shotgun function on its own.

Trivia

 * The name "Boomstick" is a reference to the Evil Dead/Army of Darkness series, which has its own undead theme.
 * The image to the right shows that the shotgun has a stock, but in gameplay it does not.
 * When combined, the Boomstick has 30 shotgun rounds instead of the 20 the original shotgun has.
 * This weapon cannot be aimed like conventional guns, instead it is thrown. If a zombie is killed using this method, the gun will register as if a shot had been fired, and will still reward you 200 prestige points.
 * If Chuck tries to attack survivors or psychopaths with this weapon, he will only stab them with the pitchfork of the gun. The shotgun never fires, merely causes a bit of damage, and will actually start to degrade or break, even if the player has several shots left.
 * The Boomstick is the combo weapon that gives the most PP out of all combo weapons: its heavy attack gives 2500 PP, making it great for getting lots of PP in a short time.
