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 File:S2 Weapon Sprinkler .png [[]] to spread ink! Also be sure to support your teammates with the File:S2 Weapon Ink Armor .png [[]]! I recommend this for tactical players who want to squash their opponents in an all-out war! |

Recommended Abilities
- Lua error in Module:Ability at line 29: attempt to concatenate local 'linkText' (a nil value).
- The .96 Gal is an extremely ink-hungry weapon, so mitigating this is a good idea, with Ink Recovery Up allowing for long term and frequent map presence.
- Lua error in Module:Ability at line 29: attempt to concatenate local 'linkText' (a nil value).
- With the Version 2.7.0 update, the .96 Gal can be reduced to a 3-hit kill with just one Defense Up main ability or 3 Defense Up sub-abilities. Since the .96 Gal fires slowly for a shooter, a single extra hit needed makes a significant difference, so at least a small amount of Damage Up is strongly recommended.

- Ink Resistance Up allows more maneuverability and speed while walking or swimming through it, and is effective in escaping tough situations, particularly when out of ink to reduce damage taken and increase the probability of survival
