Trivia

 * The Nozzlenose family of weapons are visually designed after garden hose reels. This is also reflected in their names in some other languages.

 * The dolphin may be a reference to the codename for the Nintendo GameCube: "Dolphin."
 * The H in the name means "Heavy", referring that this weapon is the heavier version of the Nozzlenose weapons.
 * This is supported by the French, Russian, and both Spanish translations of the weapon.
