The Bomb Launcher is a special weapon in Splatoon 2.
Splatoon 2
The special is very similar in function to the Bomb Rush special from Splatoon, but allows players to throw the bombs farther and with greater accuracy. It separates itself from the Bomb Rush since the bombs fired are not dependent on the player's sub weapon, although the bombs are not affected by sub weapon altering stats and the remaining bombs thrown during the special do not fill the special gauge after time is up.
Unlike any other weapon in Splatoon, the Bomb Launcher is thrown from the left side of the Inkling and not from the right side.
Data
- Without the aid of any Special Power Up, Splat-Bomb Launcher, Suction-Bomb Launcher, and Autobomb Launcher will be able to launch 11 bombs within the duration. Curling-Bomb Launcher will be able to launch 12 bombs before the Special runs out. Burst-Bomb Launcher will be able to launch 16 bombs before the Special runs out.

Trivia
- The Bomb Launcher is designed after the Ultra Machine, a batting toy made by Nintendo in 1967. This is likely referenced in their Japanese name, Bomb Pitchers.
- While on the Bomb Launcher's rail, the bombs are inside gashapon capsules, and the two halves of the capsule can be seen being discarded as each bomb is thrown.
- As visible in the promo image, the Bomb Launcher has its own ink reservoir, explaining why throwing bombs during the special does not drain the player's own ink.
- Although difficult to hear, while active, the Bomb Launcher plays a chiptune version of the intro to "Bomb Rush Blush", despite how the song is named after it's predeccesor, the Bomb Rush.
- Before the release of the Bamboozler 14 Mk II, data mining had already revealed in-game data for the Burst-Bomb Launcher, including images for its weapon icon.
- Burst-Bomb Launchers also appeared in Octo Expansion as a canned special before the release of the Bamboozler 14 Mk II.
- The Burst-Bomb Launcher is currently the only special weapon in Splatoon 2 which is exclusive to a single weapon kit.
- The Autobomb Launcher used to be in a similar state prior to the announcement of the Carbon Roller Deco.
- Early datamining of Splatoon 2 showed that the Tri-Slosher Nouveau was meant to be the only weapon set to have Autobomb Launcher as its special, and the icon for this special was also found. The data miners even recorded footage of it in action on the Shooting Range. However, its Special got changed to the Ink Storm.
- Burst-Bomb Launchers also appeared in Octo Expansion as a canned special before the release of the Bamboozler 14 Mk II.
- The N-ZAP family of weapons and Bomb Launcher are the only items produced by the brand Nintendo.
