Custom Splattershot Jr.

The Custom Splattershot Jr. is a Shooter in Splatoon and the first weapon unlocked using a Sunken Scroll from Octo Valley. It is an alternate version of the Splattershot Jr., with Disruptors and the Echolocator for a more strategic play style.

Description
The Custom Splattershot Jr. is ideal for covering large territories with ink quickly. Its low accuracy provides a wider spread of ink while moving, and its low damage means it uses less ink per shot, allowing for more shots per tank of ink. It is in a set with the Disruptor and Echolocator, making the Custom Splattershot Jr. an ideal support weapon. "A new build of the Splattershot Jr., built by Sheldon after being inspired by some odd fluid he found stuck to the blueprints. Throw Disruptors at your opponents to slow them down."

Competitive Viability
Sadly, unlike its brother the Splattershot Jr. this weapon is among the most rarely seen in competitive play. Despite having the very strong sub of Disruptor and the supportive special in Echolocator, this weapon can not take advantage of either due to its weak shots and horrible range, and without an invincibility special to save it which the regular Jr has. As of now, the Custom Jr has seen almost no use in competitive splatoon.

Trivia

 * The starfish sticker on the side of the is a reference to the Japanese Koreisha mark, a symbol representing elderly or experienced drivers. This is in contrast to the Splattershot Jr.'s association with the Wakaba mark, a symbol for beginners.
 * The is the only weapon with the "custom" prefix not made by the Custom brand. As such, it is the only one with a unique sticker; the rest all have the Custom logo.

Name Origin
Custom Splattershot Jr. is a combination of Splatter (as well as Splat), Shot and the shortened form of Junior at the end. It also has "Custom" as a prefix to differentiate it from the Splattershot Jr. Despite its name, it isn't part of the Custom brand.

Its japanese name, もみじシューター Momiji Shūtā, means "Maple Shooter". Its name is also a reference to the Koreisha mark (which was originally called "momiji mark"), a symbol for elderly car drivers in Japan. This is in contrast to the Splattershot Jr.'s reference to the Wakaba mark, which is a mark for beginners.
