Rapid Blaster
The Rapid Blaster is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.
The Rapid Blaster is a Shooter-class weapon that is similar to the File:S Weapon Blaster .png [[]], but fires much faster and has greater range. However, this comes at the cost of less Ink coverage, a smaller blast radius, and weaker shots. At minimum, it takes one direct hit and one indirect hit to splat an opponent with this weapon. Its close relative, the File:S Weapon Rapid Blaster Pro .png [[]], has slightly longer range and a slightly slower firing rate.
