The Dual Fire Shooter was William Furno's weapon. Furno used it in combat with Villains or to deal with disasters.

History[]

During a past mission, Jawblade managed to steal Furno's Dual Fire Shooter, and later converted it into his Magma Blades.

Furno used his Dual Fire Shooter to disable Rotor's blades. He later used it to shoot Corroder. After Stormer got corrupt by the Nanobots, Furno fought Stormer and used his Dual Fire Shooter as a flamethrower, only for Stormer to move it burning a electro-billboard.

During a battle in New Stellac City, Von Nebula created a black hole with his Black Hole Orb Staff that sucked up the Heroes' weapons, including the Dual Fire Shooter, though Furno received another one.

After the Alpha 1 Team was defeated at Tanker Station 22, and the Heroes were rebuilt, Furno traded in his weapon for a Multi-Tool Ice Shield.

Functionality[]

The Dual Fire Shooter could heat plasma coils and shoot the energy from the two orange blades connected to the hilt. The weapons could be held in one hand for double energy output or in both to combat multiple opponents. This weapon also functions as a flamethrower.

Example Usage[]

In Stuck on a Problem!, Furno fired bolts of energy at a rampaging giant insect with his Dual Fire Shooter.

Set Information[]

The Dual Fire Shooter was included in the William Furno Hero Factory set from 2010, comprising 2 of the set's 19 pieces. The pieces were made with a silver metallic base, and co-injected with bright translucent orange plastic.

HeroFactory.com Description[]

Showy but effective, the Fire Shooter heats plasma into coils of energy that can be aimed precisely within a 20-meter radius. Pairing them up in one hand more than doubles the energy output, and is effective in stunning criminals or burning into a locked building. Alternately, the fire shooters can be used in both hands to combat multiple opponents.

Fire shooters pack a huge punch, but only for a short time; they need to be re-energized quickly, or their fusion batteries run out, leaving the Hero with no projectile defense. Even powered off, the hardened vanadium/cobalt blades are intimidating enough to make a bad guy shiver in their armor.

Trivia[]

In The Enemy Within, Furno's dual fire shooter also functions as a Flamethrower. Furno tried to use it on Stormer only for Stormer to move it and burn a electro-billboard (though it's ambiguous as to whether that ultimate result was Furno's intention all along).
The Fire Lord obtained the technical specifications for the Dual Fire Shooter, and modified the design to create the Lava Blaster.
