L-3 Nozzlenose

The L-3 Nozzlenose is a main weapon in the SS undefined. It is the light version of the Nozzlenose. A similar weapon, the H-3 Nozzlenose has an extended barrel, while the L-3 Nozzlenose does not. Unlike most other shooters, pressing automatically fires three shots at a time. While all three shots within a burst are fired very fast, firing another burst takes slightly more time. Four hits are needed to splat an opponent, meaning that at least two bursts need to be fired at an opponent to accomplish this.

Appearance
The L-3 Nozzlenose has a gray garden hose wrapped around the middle. Black straps hold the middle in place, and behind it is a black lever and black handle housing the trigger. On the front of the middle is the nozzle, which is dark blue and teal.

The L-3 Nozzlenose was released on 2015-06-17 at July 27, 2024. It comes with Disruptors and the Killer Wail.

Trivia

 * In the first game, Sheldon states that the L-3 and H-3 Nozzlenoses are semiautomatic; however, if that were true, they would only fire one shot per trigger pull instead of three. The weapons are actually burst-fire.
 * The Nozzlenose family of weapons are visually designed after garden hose reels. This is also reflected in their names in some other languages. They also somewhat resemble revolvers.
 * The L in the name means "light", referring that this weapon is the lighter version of the Nozzlenose weapons, not to be confused with being a light-class weapon.
 * This is supported by the French and both Spanish translations of the weapon.
