Trivia

• The E-liter 3K is designed to look like a gas pump.
• Its name is a reference to the Nintendo E3 Engine.
• Its name is also a pun between elite and liter (the metric measurement), as it has the best-capacity tank.
• A disassembled E-liter 3K can be seen in Splatoon 2's Shooting Range.
• The E-liter 3K and E-liter 3K Scope are the only main weapons that have ever consumed more ink than their sub weapon (Prior to 2.7.0 Burst Bombs consumed 1/4 of an ink tank, which is less than the 30% for full charges).
