Trivia

 * Along with the N-ZAP '85, the N-ZAP '89 is based on the American version of the NES Zapper. The original accessory was made orange in May of 1989 after the Federal Energy Management Improvement Act of 1988 was passed, requiring toy guns to look drastically different from real guns. This is referenced in Sheldon's description of the weapon, stating the design had to be changed due to "legal reasons."
 * This was the first weapon released in Splatoon that was a re-skin of another post-release content weapon.
