— In-Game Description(EU/OC)[b]
“ This is the .52 Gal shooter. Each shot uses a LOT of ink, so it packs a serious punch. It has a low rate of fire, but if you aim carefully you can splat your foes before they know what hit ‘em. ”
Sheldon's Introduction

The Main Weapon .52 Gal is a Shooter with an extra-large nozzle for shooting massive quantities of ink. So it's powerful, but not so great at rapid fire. If you get in trouble, throw up a Splash Wall and retreat!

The Killer Wail can be used offensively or defensively, so it's good for fighters who can read the flow of battle!.(EU/OC)[b]
