'''Shooters''' are one of the [[main weapon]] classifications in the [[Splatoon (series)|''Splatoon'' series]]. Shooters are guns that fire small blobs of [[ink]] in quick succession.
'''Shooters''' are one of the [[main weapon]] classes in the {{Ss}}.


Most shooters are [[wikipedia:Automatic firearm|fully automatic]], continuously firing when the player holds the trigger. Some are [[wikipedia:Semi-automatic firearm|semi-automatic]] (firing one bullet per trigger press) or [[wikipedia:Burst mode (weapons)|burst-fire]] (firing multiple bullets per trigger press) operations, requiring repeated presses for an optimal rate of fire.

==General mechanics==
 
Shooters are ostensibly mechanically basic, only requiring pressing {{Button|ZR|Switch}} for all forms of operation.
 
However, some shooters are [[wikipedia:Semi-automatic firearm|semi-automatic]] (firing one bullet per trigger press) or [[wikipedia:Burst mode (weapons)|burst-fire]] (firing multiple bullets per trigger press), and consequently these weapons may benefit from or even require repeated taps of {{Button|ZR|Switch}}.

Blasters are fully-automatic guns that fire globs of ink that explode shortly afterwards with typically lower rate of fire and higher ink consumption than traditional shooters to compensate. Prior to {{S3}}, they are classified as shooters.
Blasters are fully-automatic weapons that fire large globs of ink that travel forward and conclude their path with an explosion and typically have a lower fire rate and higher ink consumption than many shooters. Prior to {{S3}}, they were classified as shooters.

A promotional image for Splatoon 3 featuring an Inkling wielding the Splattershot, a weapon in the Shooter class.

Shooters are one of the main weapon classes in the Splatoon series.

Shooters are guns that fire small blobs of ink in quick succession. Most shooters are fully automatic, continuously firing when the player holds the trigger.

General mechanics

Shooters are ostensibly mechanically basic, only requiring pressing for all forms of operation.

However, some shooters are semi-automatic (firing one bullet per trigger press) or burst-fire (firing multiple bullets per trigger press), and consequently these weapons may benefit from or even require repeated taps of .

Blasters

Main article: Blaster (weapon class)

Blasters are fully-automatic weapons that fire large globs of ink that travel forward and conclude their path with an explosion and typically have a lower fire rate and higher ink consumption than many shooters. Prior to Splatoon 3, they were classified as shooters.

List of shooters

Note: The series are arranged by their respective order in the weapon select screen with the Main filter.

Weapon Description Games

Hero Shot
A shooter similar to the Splattershot only used in Octo Valley, Octo Canyon, and Return of the Mammalians.
