White Phosphorous Shells
White Phosphorous Shells causes each shell that is fired out of the Boomstick to have 50% of its damage be converted to fire damage, as well as potentially igniting the enemy. Not to be confused with the Deepcore 40mm PGL's Incendiary Compound, the weapon does not lose 50% damage.

Compact Shells
  |
|
"You can carry a few more of these compact shells in your pockets and they are a bit faster to reload with." |

Special Powder
 |
|
"Less like gunpowder and more like rocketfuel, this mixture gives a hell of a kick that you can use to get places." |

Stuffed Shells
 |
|
"With a bit of patience and some luck you can get one more pellet and a few more grains of powder into each shell without affecting the gun's performance or losing an eye in the process." |
| ||||||||
Shaped Shells
  |
|
"Specially shaped shells result in a tighter shot, but you can't carry quite as many of them." |
| ||||||||
Double Barrel
  |
|
"Unload both barrels at once, no regrets. As an added bonus the simultaneous firing of both shells has an amplifying effect on the blast wave" |

Jumbo Shells
 |
|
"These large shells pack a lot more charge for a big increase in damage but they also take up more space so total ammo is limited." |
