Silk Shot (Mega Man)

Silk Shot, also known as Scrap Shoot (スクラップシュート Sukurappu Shūto) in Japan, is the weapon that X obtains from Morph Moth in Mega Man X2 and Mega Man Xtreme. When equipped with this weapon, X launches hunks of garbage. This weapon's behavior and power vary from stage to stage, but the most common form is a chunk of scrap metal that arcs downward and explodes into diagonal shrapnel. When charged, a huge mass of junk collects on X's buster, creating a large block that shields him slightly. Releasing fires it in a projectile path. When charged up in certain unmarked rooms, it will instead pull a bunch of energy or weapon capsules out of the walls for X to collect.

This weapon is Magna Centipede's primary weakness, as hitting him with either a normal or charged version of this weapon will destroy his tail, disabling some of his primary moves with it. In Mega Man X2, all three X-Hunters more or less have a weakness for this weapon as well, but each X-Hunter will take more damage from a specific type of projectile fired from Silk Shot than another, depending on which stage the boss is fought in.
