Hell guns are a special type of handheld weapon that shoots ignis inferni (also known as Hellfire) bullets.
History[]
Benjamin Siegel had gained possession over the weapon through unknown means after being resurrected by Astra Logue one week after his death in 1947. He used it as his main line of defense against his foes until Jeanie stole it in order to betray him.
Later, John Constantine stole it from him upon his incarceration aboard the Waverider in order to kill Astra. However he killed the gun's original owner instead before leaving Hell.[1]
After Bonnie was resurrected as an Encore by Lachesis, the thief was given a Hell gun and sent through time to 1910 along with several other Encores from various points throughout history, all tasked with finding the last piece of the Loom of Fate. Bonnie later used her weapon to kill fellow Encore Brutus in order to eliminate him as a rival, as they'd realized that once one of them found the final piece of the Loom, they'd be allowed to go back to living their life on Earth as they pleased, while the rest would be summoned back to Hell and tortured. A short time later, she tried to use her gun to kill Zari Tarazi, but the latter used the Air Totem to send the bullet back toward Bonnie, causing it to kill her instead. The Legends then took her gun, along with the weapons of the other newly-defeated Encores back to the Waverider to use against other Encores they'd later have to face.[2]
Later on, in Loomworld, when Lachesis sent several Encores after the Legends, the group had trouble eliminating the Encores, due to the fact that the weapons available to them weren't Hell weapons. Charlie and Lita then arrived on the scene, tossing the team several Hell weapons they'd acquired previously. Astra used Bonnie's Hell gun to destroy Joseph Stalin.[3]
