Each of these gun boot modules will have varying amounts of power and charges. These will change the way your boots fire and range from standard weaponry like a shotgun or a machine gun to more unique items like a laser or a triple shot. There are also a few different modules that you can find for your gun boots as you make your way deeper into the well.
