What the notes say it does

A launch-week tier note credits slicing ammo with tail cuts and names separate boosts for Normal, Spread, and Pierce. Pepper is the official heavy bowgun adventurer, role Disruptor. I do not have magazine sizes or per-shot multipliers.

Ammo choices and Pepper’s profile

The launch-week weapon guide discusses Normal, Spread, Pierce and Slicing ammo separately. It credits Slicing with cutting tails and describes ammo-specific bonuses. Those claims come from one guide; they are not a universal statement that every gun has every ammo option.

Pepper’s official biography describes ranged shots and skills that send her airborne for rapid fire. Her Disruptor role is an adventurer label, while Heavy Bowgun is the weapon class. Keep those fields separate when comparing Pepper with the custom protagonist.

When comparing equipment, record the gun name, upgrade stage, ammo behavior, element and skill source together. A 1078 attack display says nothing by itself about magazine size, reload time, recoil or damage per second. The checked pages provide no complete shot-by-shot dataset, so this guide does not prescribe an ammo rotation or a calibrated damage build.

Evidence scope

The equipment counts, attack values, skill levels and material details attributed to Fextralife on this page have one upstream community source. They are unverified beyond that source, even when another page repeats them. Missing combat multipliers, drop rates and performance measurements stay unspecified.

Questions

Is it only for Pepper?

No. The custom protagonist can use the weapon types. Pepper is the adventurer whose profile names the bowgun.
