.52 Gal

The .52 Gal is a Main Weapon in Splatoon.

Description
The .52 Gal is in a set with the Splash Wall and Killer Wail. Each shot uses a large amount of ink, so it packs a serious punch. Since it has a low rate of fire, careful aiming is required in order to hit opponents. "A high-powered Weapon that pumps out a lot of ink with each shot. It doesn't take many shots to splat an opponent, which is a good thing given its rather slow rate of fire."

- In-Game Description

"The Main Weapon is a Shooter with an extra-large nozzle for shooting massive quantities of ink. So it's powerful, but not so great at rapid fire. If you get in trouble, throw up a Splash Wall and retreat!

The Killer Wail can be used offensively or defensively, so it's good for fighters who can read the flow of battle!."

The is a slow shooting weapon among the shooting weapons and very low mobility, leaving the user very vulnerable to enemies carrying weapons with high movement speed. Having Run Speed Up will boost mobility and make moving a lot easier.

The consumes a lot of Ink when throwing up a Splash Wall, Having The Ink Saver (Main)  ability allows you to fire more shots after deploying a Splash Wall.

Ink Recovery Up is also quite useful- the faster ink fills in the ink tank when in squid form, the quicker the can shoot and use a Splash Wall.

Trivia

 * The .52 Gal was originally called the "5.2 Gallon", and it came with the Inkstrike instead of the Killer Wail. This can be seen in an image from before Splatoon's release.
