Shooters are one of the main weapon classes in the Splatoon series.
Shooters are guns that fire small blobs of ink in quick succession. Most shooters are fully automatic, continuously firing when the player holds the trigger.
General mechanics
Shooters are ostensibly mechanically basic, only requiring pressing for all forms of operation.
However, some shooters are semi-automatic (firing one bullet per trigger press) or burst-fire (firing multiple bullets per trigger press), and consequently these weapons may benefit from or even require repeated taps of .
Blasters
- Main article: Blaster (weapon class)
Blasters are fully-automatic weapons that fire large globs of ink that travel forward and conclude their path with an explosion and typically have a lower fire rate and higher ink consumption than many shooters. Prior to Splatoon 3, they were classified as shooters.

“ | Squid Research Lab here again with a special report on "shooter" weapons. On the surface, shooters are pretty straightforward. You press - you shoot! But the range of functions and features these weapons possess is quite impressive indeed! | ” | — @SplatoonNA on Twitter[1]

Trivia
Splatoon
- Shooters are the only main weapon class to include a weapon with each sub weapon at least once.
- This is no longer true in Splatoon 2, as in that game there are no shooters with Ink Mine or the Fizzy Bomb.
- However, shooters still have the title of being the only class to have at least one weapon with every special weapon.
- Shooters are the only class to have three weapons with the same set: the L-3 Nozzlenose D, the Custom Jet Squelcher, and the Aerospray PG.
Splatoon 2
- The order of weapons by weapon class is now automatic shooters → blasters → burst-fire shooters.
Splatoon 3
- There are no Shooters that have Zipcaster, Tenta Missiles, or Triple Splashdown as their special weapon.
