The Bamboozler 14 Mk I is a free DLC Charger Main Weapon in Splatoon. It was released on August 28th, 2015.

Description

The Bamboozler 14 Mk I has an extremely high charge rate, the highest of the Chargers, allowing shots to be fired off in quick succession. It also has decent range and mobility. However, while it is the quickest Charger, it is also the weakest; it cannot splat an enemy in one hit, even when fully charged. However, unlike other Chargers the range remains constant regardless of charge. It comes in a set with the Splash Wall and Killer Wail.

Sheldon's Introduction "The Bamboozler 14 Mk I is a modernized working replica of a weapon once used by a legendary commander! Its nostalgic appearance is faithful to the weaponry of the time, but its range and firepower aren't great. However, it charges quickly and is pretty powerful at max range, so set up that Splash Wall and get sniping! Oh, and it also features the powerful Killer Wail! Step into the shoes of the legendary captains with this classic!" (NA)
