 * When initially firing the weapon in kid form, the first bullet takes 3 frames to come out.
 * When firing from squid form, the first bullet takes 8 frames to come out.
 * When firing continuously, it has a fire rate of 8 frames between bullets.
 * When firing while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.55 units per frame.
 * After firing, there is a 20 frame cooldown before your ink tank starts refilling.
 * If a bullet is in the air for more than 7 frames after being fired, it loses 1.3125 damage per frame until it reaches 21 damage at frame 20.
 * Bullets have a radius of 2 units.
 * The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 2.7 degrees.
 * The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 6 degrees.
 * The outer reticle immediately expands after jumping. After 25 frames, the outer reticle will start shrinking, and will finish shrinking after 70 frames.
 * The Splattershot Pro starts off having a 1% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle.
 * This chance increases by 1% per shot, and maximizes at a 25% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle. Meaning that it takes 24 shots to reach minimum accuracy.
 * When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 40%.
 * When not shooting, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle decreases by 0.5% per frame, if the chance is not already at the minimum. Meaning that it takes 48 frames to reach maximum accuracy. (78 after shooting while jumping.)
 * Bullets initially travel at a rate of 38.33333 units per frame for 3 frames, having an effective range of 114.99999 units.
 * After that, the bullet's velocity is set to 22.698 units for 2 frames if the bullet's velocity is not already lower than the listed value, and decreases further as it falls to the ground.
 * This results in a range at approximately 160.39599 units if the weapon is shot straight ahead.
 * Paint droplets occur every 88 units.
 * The frequency at which paint drips from a bullet occurs at a rate of 2 droplets per shot.
 * There are a total of 8 different droplet patterns that can be created while firing this weapon.
 * Droplets that occur within 11 units of the player have a radius of 18 units, and a width of 11 units.
 * These droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1.2 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.4 if they fell from a height below 30 units.
 * Droplets that occur when they travel past 200 units of the player have a radius of 16 units.
 * All other paint droplets have a radius of 12.5 units.
 * Droplets that are far from the player and all other droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.2 if they fell from a height below 30 units.


 * The amount of frames the bullet flies through the air was reduced from 5 to 3, resulting in the total range being unchanged.
