-The BFG has a range of 100 squares and a base firing rate of 3 projectiles per shot, with modifications depending on the ammo used: the firing rate is doubled for [[Bullet (dNetHack)|bullets]], increased by {{frac|2}} rounded down for [[Shotgun shell (dNetHack)|shotgun shells]], and ''decreased'' by {{frac|2}} (rounded down) for [[Rocket (dNetHack)|rockets]].

It has a [[Object materials (dNetHack)|base material]] of [[silver]], and appears as an '''ovoid device''' when unidentified.
