The .96 Gal is a main weapon in the Splatoon series, created by Deco.
As a member of the shooter class, this weapon distinguishes itself by sacrificing fire rate, ink efficiency, mobility, and accuracy for powerful shots and long range, being the ink-thirstiest and slowest of all regular shooters. The .96 Gal and its close relative the .52 Gal share their visual design and high-damage, low-accuracy performance.
Appearance
The .96 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.

Sheldon's Introduction
The .96 Gal's main weapon has an extra-large ink tank, allowing for powerful shots with a lot of range!
And the Sprinkler and Echolocator can be used to keep foes riiiiiiight where you want them.
So it's an excellent weapon for fighters who want to control the pace of battle!(NA)[a] |

Sheldon's Introduction
The .96 Gal is a shooter that hits hard and has long range, courtesy of its large chamber and extended barrel! Of course, with that, you can't expect much from the fire rate, so make each shot count as you use the Sprinkler to spread ink! Also be sure to support your teammates with the Ink Armor! I recommend this for tactical players who want to squash their opponents in an all-out war! |

Quotes
“ | This beauty is the .96 Gal - a high-impact, long-range weapon that packs a major punch. The ink tank has been modified to Splatlands specifications, and the barrel is sourced from a water-purification device. Talk about a clean shot! | ” | — @SplatoonNA[4]

Trivia
- The .96 Gal, the .52 Gal, and their variants are created by Deco.
Etymology
.96 Gal is short for .96 Gallon. "Gal" is also a play on Cal, the short form of Caliber, a term commonly used when describing the diameter of bullets for firearms.
.96ガロン .96 Garon has the same origin as the English name, but without Gallon shortened to Gal.
.96 Gal is also a example of japanese wordplay. "9" and "6" are read as "ku" and "ro", respectively in On'yomi readings. "Kuro" means black in japanese. Gal (gyaru) means a fashionable girl also in japanese. So, ".96 Gal" can be read as "kuro-gal" (by ignoring heading dot). "Kuro-gal" is a slang term for a type of girl fashion of darkening her skin with makeup or tanning.
