Chemical Thrower

The Chemical Thrower is the fifth ranged weapon obtained in BioShock. It is located in Arcadia. It can fire a straight, continuous stream of different chemical substances as ammo is consumed. Its main weaknesses are a slow reload time, ineffectiveness at long range, and a very high rate of ammo consumption. However, the effective range can be increased and ammo consumption rate decreased with upgrades at a Power to the People station, making the Chemical Thrower a highly efficient weapon. There is no hit location damage bonus when using this weapon; the same amount of damage is done no matter where the target is hit.
