On the bottom of the grip is what appears to be a magazine, colored dark green.

There is a cap where the tube connecting the barrel to the gun used to be, reminiscent of the caps used to refill a water gun full of water in real life. It had the Tenta Missiles as its special weapon in the Splatoon 2 Global Testfire demo, but in the final game it has the Splashdown.

It appears in fifteen Octo Expansion stations:

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

The Splattershot appears as Inkling's neutral special and in a few normals in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, alongside a variety of other weapons that they use in their attacks.

For their neutral special, they shoot projectiles with the Splattershot at the opponent to deal damage. This also coats opponents in ink but does not ink the ground. The projectiles will decrease in range as the Inkling runs low on ink, and the Splattershot will not fire if the Inkling is out of ink. Similarly, for their rapid jab, the Inkling shoots the Splattershot, creating spurts at the muzzle which damages and inks opponents. This move also stops functioning when out of ink. For their forward throw, the Inkling fires a single shot directly into the opponent, covering them slightly and using a small amount of ink. In their other normals, they physically swing and hit opponents with the Splattershot itself. These moves do not cost ink.
