Silk Shot

Silk Shot (スクラップシュート) is the weapon that X obtains from Morph Moth in Mega Man X2. It 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. If used just outside Magna Centipede's room, the Silk Shot will pull off his magnetic armor prior to the fight. Magna Centipede and all three of the X-Hunters share a weakness to this weapon.
