Sheldon's Introduction
The Jet Squelcher has the top range of any rapid-fire weapon, approaching that of the charger weapons.
It sacrifices attack power, though, so focus on hiding behind your  Splash Wall and charging up the  Inkstrike!
It's best for fighters who know how to strike at the most opportune moment!

Jet Squelcher
The Jet Squelcher returns in Splatoon 2 looking identical to how it did in the first game. It comes with the Toxic Mist and Tenta Missiles.
Data
- The Jet Squelcher is a middleweight weapon.
- The ink consumption of 1.6% and ink tank capacity of 100% allows players to fire 62 shots before needing to refill the ink supply.
- When initially firing the weapon in humanoid form, the first shot takes 3 frames to come out.
- When firing from squid or octopus form, the first shot takes 11 frames to come out.
- The interval between firing and when the player is able to become a squid or use a sub weapon is 4 frames.
- When firing continuously, it has a fire rate of 8 frames between shots (7.5 shots per second).
- When firing while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.6 units per frame.
- After firing, there is a 20 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
- Each shot has a base damage of 32.
- If a shot is in the air for more than 9 frames after being fired, it loses 1 damage per frame until it reaches 16 damage at frame 25.
- Shots have a radius of 2 units.
- The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 3 degrees.
- The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 8 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 Jet Squelcher starts off having a 2% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle.
- This chance increases by 1.5% per shot, and maximizes at a 25% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle, meaning that it takes 16 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 1% per frame, if the chance is not already at the minimum, meaning that it takes 23 frames to reach maximum accuracy. (38 after shooting while jumping.)
- Shots initially travel at a rate of 33.6 units per frame for 5 frames, having an effective range of 168 units.
- After that, the shot's velocity is set to 22.32 units if it is not already lower than the listed value, and decreases further as it falls to the ground.
- Ink droplets occur every 100 units.
- The frequency at which ink drips from a shot occurs at a rate of 3 droplets per shot.
- There are a total of 8 different droplet patterns that can be created while firing this weapon.
- Droplets that occur within 11 units of the player have a radius of 19.8 units, and a width of 10 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 17.6 units.
- All other ink droplets have a radius of 12 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.

Sheldon's Introduction
The Jet Squelcher has boosted pump pressure to give it a range that rivals charger weapons! Use that range to safely splat opponents caught in your  Toxic Mist. The main weapon's attack power is on the weaker side, but you've got  Tenta Missiles, and it's great for cleaning up the leftovers! Keep moving forward as you splat your opponents! Recommended for players who know when to push and when to hold their ground!
