Sheldon's Introduction
The .52 Gal is a heavy hitter with an extra-large nozzle for shooting massive amounts of ink. It's powerful but slow, making it important to be aware of your surroundings. Lucky for you, it comes with the Template:Sub sub! The included Template:Special is great for drawing attention, so I recommend this set to players who like to control the flow of battle! |

The .52 Gal comes in a set with the Template:Sub and Template:Special. Each shot uses a large amount of ink, so it packs a serious punch. Since it has a low rate of fire, careful aiming is required in order to hit opponents.

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] |

Recommended Abilities
Lua error in Module:Ability at line 29: attempt to concatenate local 'linkText' (a nil value).
The faster ink fills in the ink tank when in squid form, the quicker the .52 Gal can shoot and use a Splash Wall.

Damage Up helps with falloff damage, if your first shot lands when your opponent is not quite within the weapon's effective range, ensuring a two shot kill regardless.

Because of the .52 Gal's slower strafing speed and rate of fire, it can be useful to swim in between shots instead of firing continuously. Swim Speed Up will allow you to do this faster and not get splatted while swimming.

As a short range weapon, players will generally find themselves in enemy ink in engagements. The Ink Resistance Up ability allows players to continue to be mobile and to survive more fights without taking as much damage from enemy ink.

Cold Blooded is an ability that shortens the duration of position-tracking to 50% of normal tracking time. As a mobile weapon, Cold Blooded is immensely useful for the .52 Gal, enhancing its sneakiness, enabling more mobility, preventing chargers to quickly splat players, facilitating ambushes and preventing enemy ambushes.

Trivia

- 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.
