Aerospray PG

The Aerospray PG is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2. The Aerospray PG fires quick bursts, so its user can cover a relatively large area with ink in a short time. It is also a short-range weapon, so it makes quick work of nearby targets.

Appearance
The Aersopray PG shares its build with the Aerospray MG. However, the Aerospray PG is almost entirely bronze. The nozzle and attachments supporting the tube are a dull metal color, and the Ammo Knights logo on the tank is white. Though a bit difficult to see, the black tube at the back of the Aerospray PG seems to be shinier than the other Aerosprays.

Splatoon
The Aerospray PG is one of the nine weapons included in Sheldon's Picks Vol. 2 and was released on 2016-06-08. It is in a set with the Burst Bombs and the Kraken. Like the Aerospray MG and RG, the PG can only be purchased after defeating The Rampaging Octowhirl! boss battle and obtaining its Sunken Scroll.

Trivia

 * The Aerospray PG appears to be designed after an aerograph, a type of airbrush.
 * The "PG" in this weapon's name likely stands for "Perfect Grade", referencing Bandai's line of 1:60 scale model kits for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam. This is because it is common for model kits to be painted with an airbrush and because Gundam models are extremely popular in Japan.
 * Prior to Splatoon 3 Chill Season 2022, the Aerospray PG, along with its alternates, the Aerospray MG and Aerospray RG and the Inkbrush, Inkbrush Nouveau and Permanent Inkbrush, were the only weapons that require 5 hits in order to splat an opponent.
 * Splatoon 3 Chill Season 2022 introduced Splattershot Nova, which also require 5 hits in order to splat an opponent.
 * Damage Up can prove useful on this weapon. With a full set, the player will need to land a direct hit with a Burst Bomb followed by one hit instead of two.
 * In Sheldon's quote for the weapon in the North American and European/Oceania versions of Splatoon; "Rated PG for severe splattings!", is a reference to the same age rating the MPAA uses for theater films.
