Description
Here is a screenshot of a Boltok Pistol the inside of the House of Sovereigns, the capital building of the COG the ruins the city of Ephyra.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Boltok Pistol was the standard-issue sidearm of the Locust, specifically the Drones. The pistol continues the Locust weapon-design philosophy of creating weapons with an emphasis towards brute force.

It is a high-caliber; double-action revolver with a 6-round capacity, a side swing chamber, and an enclosed hammer. It is heavier; slower to fire, and holds half as much ammunition as the COG-issue Snub Pistol, but does unequivocally more damage per shot and has exceptional stopping power. There were specific Drone types that wielded the Boltok. It was mostly used by the Bolter, a class of Drone exclusively armed with the weapon, but sometimes was also used by the Grenadier class, Theron Guards. Even the famed General RAAM used the weapon to execute a COG prisoner in the Hollows.

It was soon adopted by many Gears in the COG, chosen for its accuracy and power. Marcus Fenix, Augustus Cole, Dominic Santiago, Clayton Carmine, and Victor Hoffman were just some of the Gears that used a Boltok as their chosen sidearm. (I learned this from a Gears of War website.)
