 * The Inkzooka has the second-highest range of any weapon in the game, only losing out to the E-liter 3K family of weapons, but not by much.

Trivia

 * This weapon is tied with the Enperry Splat Dualies, L-3 Nozzlenose D, Octo Shot Replica, and Ballpoint Splatling for the most expensive Inkjet in the game with 200p.
 * Despite being available on launch in Splatoon 1 and 2 and being one of the most iconic weapon variants in Splatoon, the Tentatek Splattershot is absent in Splatoon 3 alongside all other variants. This is likely because with more main weapons, kits are more plentiful without the need for variants.

Etymology
'Tentatek Splattershot' is a combination of splatter (as well as splat) and shot. It has the Tentatek brand name as a prefix to differentiate it from the Splattershot. It also denotes that the weapon is a collaboration with Tentatek.

Its Japanese name, スプラシューターコラボ supurashūtā korabo, is a combination of either splat or splash, and shooter. It also has the abbreviated prefix collab to separate it from Splashooter and to denote that it is a collaboration. However, unlike the English name, it does not specify the brand Tentatek.
