The Aerospray MG is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

The Aerospray MG has an extremely high rate of fire, but each shot is weak individually. It takes five hits to splat an opponent. It shoots with high spread, allowing its users to quickly cover turf and to hit opponents without perfectly aiming at them.

Trivia

  • The Aerospray MG appears to be designed after an aerograph, a type of airbrush.
  • The Aerospray MG, along with its alternates, the S Weapon Main Aerospray RG.png Aerospray RG and S Weapon Main Aerospray PG.png Aerospray PG, and the S2 Weapon Main Inkbrush.png Inkbrush, S2 Weapon Main Inkbrush Nouveau.png Inkbrush Nouveau, and S2 Weapon Main Permanent Inkbrush.png Permanent Inkbrush, are the only weapons that require 5 hits in order to splat an opponent.
  • The "MG" in this weapon's name likely stands for "Master Grade" in reference to Bandai's line of 1:100 scale model kits for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam. This is likely because it is common for model kits to be painted with an airbrush and Gundam models are extremely popular in Japan.
  • In Splatoon 2, the Aerospray MG was the only weapon to be the only weapon unlocked at its level for more than a year.
