Shooter

Shooters are main weapon classifications in Splatoon and Splatoon 2. Shooters are guns that fire small blobs of ink in quick succession. Most shooters will continuously fire when the player holds the trigger, but some have semi-automatic operation.

Blasters are shooters that are able to fire large globs of ink with a delayed explosion. The explosion allows users to attack opponents located behind obstacles or around corners.

Semi-automatic weapons are shooters that offer semi-automatic functionality, requiring the player to tap the trigger repeatedly instead of holding it for some or all aspects of operation.

Splatoon

 * Shooters are the only main weapon class to have each sub weapon represented at least once.
