If a bullet is in the air for more than 9 frames after being fired, it loses 1.9375 damage per frame until it reaches 31 damage at frame 25.
Bullets have a radius of 2 units.
The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 4.34545 degrees.
The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 11.3511 degrees.
The outer reticle immediately expands after jumping. After 25 frames, the outer reticle will start shrinking, and will finish shrinking after 70 frames.
The .96 Gal Deco starts off having a 4% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle.
- This chance increases by 3% per shot, and maximizes at a 30% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle. Meaning that it takes 9 shots to reach minimum accuracy.
When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 40%.
When not shooting, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle decreases by 2% per frame, if the chance is not already at the minimum. Meaning that it takes 13 frames to reach maximum accuracy. (18 after shooting while jumping.)
Bullets initially travel at a rate of 24.5 units per frame for 5 frames, having an effective range of 122.5 units.
- After that, the bullet's velocity is set to 23.77 units if the bullet's velocity is not already lower than the listed value, and decreases further as it falls to the ground.
Paint droplets occur every 60 units.
The frequency at which paint drips from a bullet occurs at a rate of 3 droplets per shot.
There are a total of 5 different droplet patterns that can be created while firing this weapon.
Droplets that occur within 11 units of the player have a radius of 20 units, and a width of 13 units.
- These droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1.2 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.4 if they fell from a height below 30 units.
Droplets that occur when they travel past 200 units of the player have a radius of 17.5 units.
All other paint droplets have a radius of 13.5 units.
Droplets that are far from the player and all other droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.2 if they fell from a height below 30 units.

Etymology

.96 Gal Deco is short for .96 Gallon with the suffix Deco, short for either Decorated or Decoration. Deco may also refer to Art Deco. "Gal" is also a play on Cal, short form of Caliber, a term commonly used when describing the diameter of bullets for fire-arms. The suffix Deco is also used to differentiate it from the .96 Gal. This trait is shared among the other alternate sets of the Deco brand.

.96ガロンデコ .96 garon deko has the same origin as the English name, but without Gallon shortened to Gal. Like the English name, Deco is also used to differentiate it from .96 Gallon.
