L-3 Nozzlenose
The L-3 Nozzlenose is main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2. It is the Light version of the Nozzlenose. Unlike most other Shooters, pressing will automatically fire 3 bullets at a time. While all 3 bullets within a burst are fired very fast, firing another burst takes slightly more time. Four bullets are needed to splat an enemy, meaning that at least 2 bursts will have to be fired at an enemy to accomplish this.

Data
- The L-3 Nozzlenose is a middleweight weapon.
- When initially firing the weapon in kid form, the first bullet takes 3 frames to come out.
- When firing from squid form, the first bullet takes 8 frames to come out.
- When pressing , 3 bullets will be fired at a time, as long as there is enough ink to fire all 3 shots.
- If there is not enough ink to fire all 3 shots, then only 1 or 2 shots, or no shots will be fired instead, depending on how much ink is left in the ink tank.
- When firing a burst, each bullet is fired at a rate of 4 frames between bullets.
- After the last shot in a burst is fired, another burst cannot be fired for 8 frames.
- When firing while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.5 units per frame.
- After firing, there is a 25 frame cooldown before your ink tank starts refilling.
- Bullets have a radius of 2 units.
- The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 1 degrees.
- The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 6 degrees.
- The L-3 Nozzlenose has a 25% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle.
- When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 40%.
- Bullets initially travel at a rate of 22 units per frame for 5 frames, having an effective range of 110 units.
- Paint droplets occur every 116 units.
- The frequency at which paint drips from a bullet occurs at a rate of 1.5 droplets per shot.
- There are a total of 15 different droplet patterns that can be created while firing this weapon.
- Droplets that occur within 11 units of the player have a radius of 23 units.
- Droplets that occur when they travel past 200 units of the player have a radius of 23 units.
- All other paint droplets have a radius of 16 units.

The L-3 Nozzlenose returns in Splatoon 2 looking identical to how it did in the first game. It comes with the Curling Bomb and Baller.
Data
- The L-3 Nozzlenose is a middleweight weapon.
- When initially firing the weapon in kid form, the first bullet takes 3 frames to come out.
- When firing from squid form, the first bullet takes 8 frames to come out.
- When pressing , 3 bullets will be fired at a time, as long as there is enough ink to fire all 3 shots.
- If there is not enough ink to fire all 3 shots, then only 1 or 2 shots, or no shots will be fired instead, depending on how much ink is left in the ink tank.
- When firing a burst, each bullet is fired at a rate of 4 frames between bullets.
- After the last shot in a burst is fired, another burst cannot be fired for 8 frames.
- When firing while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.72 units per frame.
- After firing, there is a 25 frame cooldown before your ink tank starts refilling.
- If a bullet is in the air for more than 8 frames after being fired, it loses 0.90625 damage per frame until it reaches 14.5 damage at frame 24.
- Bullets have a radius of 2 units.
- The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 1 degrees.
- The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 6 degrees.
- The L-3 Nozzlenose starts off having a 1% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle.
- This chance increases by 1% per shot, and maximizes at a 25% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle. Meaning that it takes 24 shots to reach minimum accuracy.
- When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 40%.
- When not shooting, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle decreases by 0.5% per frame, if the chance is not already at the minimum. Meaning that it takes 48 frames to reach maximum accuracy. (78 after shooting while jumping.)
- Bullets initially travel at a rate of 27.5 units per frame for 4 frames, having an effective range of 110 units.
- After that, the bullet's velocity is set to 15.68 units for 2 frames if the bullet's velocity is not already lower than the listed value, and decreases further as it falls to the ground.
- This results in a range at approximately 141.36 units if the weapon is shot straight ahead.
- Paint droplets occur every 120 units.
- The frequency at which paint drips from a bullet occurs at a rate of 1.5 droplets per shot.
- There are a total of 15 different droplet patterns that can be created while firing this weapon.
- Droplets that occur within 11 units of the player have a radius of 19.5 units, and a width of 14 units.
- These droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1.2 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.4 if they fell from a height below 30 units.
- Droplets that occur when they travel past 200 units of the player have a radius of 19.5 units.
- All other paint droplets have a radius of 15.5 units.
- Droplets that are far from the player and all other droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.2 if they fell from a height below 30 units.
- If no paint droplets have occurred within 11 units of the player for 6 shots, the next shot the player makes will force a paint droplet to appear at the player's feet. This ensures that the player's feet will always be painted after 3 bursts.

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 D in the name of the alternative version likely represents the dolphin sticker on the side.
- The dolphin may be a reference to the codename for the Nintendo GameCube: "Dolphin."
