H-3 Nozzlenose
| “ | Listen up squids! This here is the H-3 Nozzlenose. You want a weapon that packs a wallop and also kind of looks like a garden hose rolled up? This here’s your pick. A long interval between shots is made up for by high attack power. With the H-3 Nozzlenose, a one-hit kill is a real possibility. | ” |

Sheldon's Introduction
The H-3 Nozzlenose is a semiautomatic with more firepower than its L-3 twin. The H stands for "heavy"! It can't fire as rapidly, but you can pinpoint foes with the Echolocator to make every shot count! Suction Bombs can also make an effective defense, so this set is a good choice for well-rounded fighters! (NA)[b] |

Competitive Viability
Simply put, the H-3 is too hard to use well, and even if used well still is awful. While the damage increase allowing a three hit is nice, perfect aim is required to make that happen, and with a much weaker fire rate, any missed shot is gonna equate to a quick death for you. The weapon is also horrendous in turfing, leaving it much harder to maintain map control with it. You'll also find it hard to build a special, which is unfortunately an Echolocator, a supportive special that does absolutely nothing to help out the weapon's inefficiencies. The Cherry H-3 Nozzlenose exists, which is a much better selection, or the L-3 Nozzlenose D could be used, but the regular H-3 will not get very far in competitive play.
