The .52 Gal is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.
A member of the shooter class, this weapon distinguishes itself by outputting enough ink in each shot to splat opponents in two hits, while still having a decent rate of fire. The weapon's fire rate is lesser than the 
Splattershot Pro and greater than the 
.96 Gal. Its only major drawback is its poor accuracy; many shots deviate far enough to the left or right that they miss the target. The .52 Gal and its close relative the .96 Gal share their visual design and high-damage, low-accuracy performance.
The weapon is designed with a water cooler bottle as a base. A grip, sight, and high-caliber gun barrel are clamped to the bottle. The parts surrounding the bottle are black plastic with pink accents, while the bottle matches the player's ink color.

Trivia
- The .52 Gal's name may be a reference to its base damage per shot of 52. The
.96 Gal's damage per shot is not 96, however. - The .52 Gal was originally called the "5.2 Gallon" came with the
Inkstrike instead of the 
Killer Wail. This can be seen in an image from before Splatoon's release.
Etymology
.52 Gal is short for .52 Gallon. "Gal" is also a play on Cal, short form of Caliber, a term commonly used when describing the diameter of bullets for fire-arms.
.52ガロン .52 Garon has the same origin as the English name, but without Gallon shortened to Gal.
