The H-3 Nozzlenose is a main weapon in the Splatoon series. It is the heavy version of the L-3 Nozzlenose. Unlike most other shooters, pressing automatically fires three bullets at a time. In comparison to the L-3 Nozzlenose, the bullets have increased attack power, capable of splatting enemies in one burst if all three bullets land on the target. However, it has a lower fire rate than the L-3 Nozzlenose.
Appearance
The H-3 Nozzlenose is near identical in appearance to the L-3 Nozzlenose. The only difference between the two is that the H-3 Nozzlenose has an extended nozzle.

Sheldon's Introduction
The H-3 Nozzlenose is a semiautomatic with more firepower than its L-3 twin. The H stands for "heavy"! It can't fire as rapidly, but you can pinpoint foes with the Echolocator to make every shot count! Suction Bombs can also make an effective defense, so this set is a good choice for well-rounded fighters!(NA)[a] |
“ | A Nozzlenose that packs even more of a punch. A long interval between shots is made up for by high attack power, which makes splatting your opponent in one go a real possibility. | ” | — In-Game Description(EU/OC)[b]

“ | Listen up squids! This here is the H-3 Nozzlenose. You want a weapon that packs a wallop and also kind of looks like a garden hose rolled up? This here's your pick. A long interval between shots is made up for by high attack power. With the H-3 Nozzlenose, a one-hit kill is a real possibility. | ” |

Sheldon's Introduction
The H-3 Nozzlenose here offers a stronger triple-burst shooter experience than the L-3 Nozzlenose. Seek out your opponent's location with the Point Sensor, and unleash a triple blast to splat 'em before they know what hit 'em! You can use the Tenta Missiles to check and mark an opponent's location. I recommend this set for the Inkling who wants to bring out the best in their main weapon. |

Sheldon's Introduction
If you like the L-3 Nozzlenose but find it a bit lacking in power... enter the H-3 Nozzlenose! The "H" probably stands for "heavy," but I like to think it stands for "HAHAHAHA," which is the noise one typically makes while firing it. Now, the fire rate suffers a bit compared to lighter weapons, but when you can pinpoint your enemies with a Point Sensor, you can make each shot count. And with a team all juiced up on energy from your Tacticooler, you're ready to laugh all the way to the winner's circle. |

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 H-3 Nozzlenose and its variants have a special hit sound effect which plays when all three shots from a single trigger pull hit one enemy, which will normally splat them, accompanied by a visible flash.
- In Splatoon 2, this effect is unique to the H-3 Nozzlenose family of weapons. In Splatoon 3, it is shared with the Tri-Stringer and REEF-LUX 450.
- This effect does not occur in Salmon Run or Salmon Run Next Wave.
- This weapon is tied with the Neo Sploosh-o-matic and Octobrush Nouveau for the cheapest Tenta Missiles in Splatoon 2 with 170p.
Etymology
- 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.
