The L-3 Nozzlenose is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2. It is the light version of the Nozzlenose. Unlike most other shooters, pressing ZR automatically fires three shots at a time. While all three shots within a burst are fired very fast, firing another burst takes slightly more time. Four hits are needed to splat an opponent, meaning that at least two bursts need to be fired at an opponent to accomplish this.

Sheldon's Introduction

Ah, now the L-3 Nozzlenose is a semiautomatic shooter. It fires three shots each time you pull the trigger! Its range and accuracy are great, but you can't keep firing by holding down ZR, so good timing is a must! This set includes S Weapon Sub Disruptor.png Disruptors and the S Weapon Special Killer Wail.png Killer Wail as well. It's well suited to those who like to fight efficiently.(NA)[a]

A semiautomatic weapon that fires three shots for every pull of the trigger. Keeping up a sustained barrage requires impeccable timing, but accuracy and range are good.

— In-Game Description(EU/OC)[b]
This shooter squeezes off three ink blasts in one rapid burst! It takes some getting used to, but in the right hands it's inkredibly accurate and efficient. It comes with S Weapon Sub Disruptor.png Disruptors for a sub weapon, and the S Weapon Special Killer Wail.png Killer Wail for a special weapon.

Sheldon's Introduction

The L-3 Nozzlenose is a shooter of a different sort; it fires a three-shot burst each time you pull the trigger! You can't keep firing by holdin' ZR, so keep an eye on your opponents, and wait for just the right moment to throw a S2 Weapon Sub Curling Bomb.png Curling Bomb! Recommended for players that want to use the S2 Weapon Special Baller.png Baller to destroy their opponents' defense and soak up the spotlight!
