E-liter 4K

The E-liter 4K is a main weapon in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3, a successor to Splatoon's E-liter 3K. It is a charger-type weapon that sacrifices mobility, ink consumption and charge time for extreme range that is only outclassed by its scoped variant.

Like most chargers, this weapon can store a fully charged shot in swim form for a short amount of time, and a fully charged shot will pierce through opponents.

Appearance
In general, the E-liter 4K is based on a plastic gas pump handle with a metallic ink tank on the back and an elongated metallic spout with a plastic attachment and a black sight which acts as the barrel.

In, the plastic parts are yellow and the ink tank changes color to match the user's ink.

In, the plastic parts are blue, the handle also has a seven-segment LCD display, and the tube connecting the handle to the ink tank and a spring on the barrel change color to match the user's ink.

Etymology
"E-liter" is a pun between elite and liter (the metric unit of volume by which gasoline is sold in many countries). The "4K" in E-liter 4K refers to number of fully charged shots the weapon can make before running out of ink, which is four.
