Data

• The Kensa .52 Gal is a middleweight weapon.
• The ink consumption of 1.3% allows players to fire 76 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 8 frames to come out.
• When firing continuously, it has a fire rate of 9 frames between shots.
• 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.
• If a shot is in the air for more than 11 frames after being fired, it loses 1.875 damage per frame until it reaches 30 damage at frame 27.
• Shots have a radius of 2 units.
• The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 6 degrees.
• The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 12 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 Kensa .52 Gal starts off having a 2% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle.
  • This chance increases by 4% per shot, and maximizes at a 25% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle. Meaning that it takes 6 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 0.5% per frame, if the chance is not already at the minimum. Meaning that it takes 46 frames to reach maximum accuracy. (76 after shooting while jumping.)
• Shots initially travel at a rate of 22 units per frame for 4 frames, having an effective range of 88 units.
  • After that, the shot's velocity is set to 18.472 units if it is not already lower than the listed value, and decreases further as it falls to the ground.
• Ink droplets occur every 55 units.
• The frequency at which ink drips from a shot occurs at a rate of 2.4 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 19.7 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 16.5 units.
• All other ink droplets have a radius of 13 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.
