Description[]
The Hellfire Shotgun is a small double-barreled shotgun that fired bursts of Hellfire. Unlike conventional sidearms, the Hellfire gun never ran out of ammunition and could be fired repeatedly for an indeterminate amount of time.
History[]
During the period when carnival stunt cyclist Johnny Blaze was separated from the Spirit of Vengeance known as the Ghost Rider, he attempted to kill the new Ghost Rider, believing him to be Zarathos. When Ghost Rider made contact with the shotgun Blaze was carrying, it absorbed some of his power and became a weapon capable of shooting hellfire and conjuring flaming motorcycles. [1][2]
When the Mother of Demons, Lilith, manifested on Earth, the Hellfire gun proved vital in its ability to destroy Lilith's demonic offspring, the Lilin. One of the Lilin, Skinner threatened Johnny's family, so Blaze destroyed him with repeated blasts from the weapon. Skinner was actually grateful for the assault and told Johnny that he finally brought him a measure of peace. [3]
