- In-Game Description

"This shooter squeezes off three ink blasts in one rapid burst! It takes some getting used to, but in the right hands it’s inkredibly accurate and efficient. It comes with Disruptors for a sub weapon, and the Killer Wail for a special weapon."

Competitive Viability
All nozzlenoses take extreme skill to be used efficiently in competitive play, and the vanilla L-3 is no exception. The problem with the L-3, however, is even if used at a peak level, it still is not a very good weapon overall. Not to mention the fact that a much better L-3 Nozzlenose D exists, which can cover for the fact that the L-3 is a four hit kill with the Burst Bomb, which the regular L-3 can't do with a Disruptor. While having the disruptor is nice, the weapon needs almost inhuman accuracy to preform well with, and because of that it's competitive viability goes way down.
