Thistleblower

The Thistleblower is a repeating rifle in My Normal Obsession that fires subsonic bullets, making it beyond ideal for stealth shots. It also has the added perk of stunning half of all enemies who witness a stealth shot, with enemies directly adjacent to the victim getting stunned for 2s longer. Therefore, the Thistleblower is a perfect weapon for crowd control and taking on bosses that summon minions often.
== In-game Description ==
A lever-action rifle that's been refurbished by a Storik blacksmith, now an ideal weapon for adept snipers. Inserting an EternaGrowth Shard into the rifle's stock allows it to imbue its bullets with Sprouting, dealing a total average of 64 damage per shot (86 per Headshot). Due to its design, many have nicknamed this rifle the Thistleblower, especially due to the ornamental spikes around its barrel.
