Aerospray MG

The Aerospray MG is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

The Aerospray MG has an extremely high rate of fire, but each shot is weak individually. It takes five hits to splat an opponent. It shoots with high spread, allowing its users to quickly cover turf and to hit opponents without perfectly aiming at them.

Appearance
The Aerospray MG is a short, silver gun reminiscent of an aerosol spray pen with a large tank on top bearing the Ammo Knights logo in black. Underneath the tank is a silver pipe that serves as a barrel with a wide nozzle on the end. Attaching the tank to the barrel is a pair of silver supports. Underneath the nozzle is a metal slope seemingly designed to stop ink from getting on the user's hand. In the back of the Aerospray MG is a thin black tube connecting the side of the barrel to the bottom.

Splatoon
The Aerospray MG comes in a set with Seekers and the Inkzooka. It can only be purchased after defeating The Rampaging Octowhirl! boss battle and obtaining its Sunken Scroll. It was created by Sheldon from his grandfather's blueprints.

Appearance
The Aerospray MG resembles an aerosol spray pen. The body of the weapon is silver-colored. Connected to the stock on the top of the weapon is a canister sitting at a 70-degree angle shaped like half of a capsule with a black Ammo Knights logo on it. On the back of the weapon is a thin black tube connected to the bottom of the handle and the stock. Connected to the bottom of the upper forestock is a bent, oval-shaped panel. The muzzle is shaped like a cap.

Trivia

 * The Aerospray MG appears to be designed after an aerograph, a type of airbrush.
 * The Aerospray MG, along with its other versions, the Aerospray RG and Aerospray PG, and the Inkbrush, Inkbrush Nouveau, and Permanent Inkbrush, are the only weapons that require 5 hits in order to splat an opponent.
 * The "MG" in this weapon's name likely stands for "Master Grade", referencing Bandai's line of 1:100 scale model kits for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam. This is likely because it is common for model kits to be painted with an airbrush and Gundam models are extremely popular in Japan.
 * In Splatoon 2, the Aerospray MG was the only weapon to be unlocked at its level for more than a year.
