The Gyre Splatling is a pressure weapon. Hold the trigger to spin the barrels for 0.85 seconds, then release to fire a stream of 28-damage shots at 15 per second. The longer you charge, the longer the burst lasts, up to 1.7 seconds at full charge.
Its shots travel at 40 meters per second with a 3.2-degree spread, the tightest of the rapid-fire weapons, and reach about 15 meters. That combination makes the Splatling lethal against opponents caught without an escape route: the stream arrives fast, splats in four hits, and paints the ground underneath them as it goes.
The spin-up is the weakness. Start charging before you see the target, hold angles from your own ink, and retreat while charging when a fight goes wrong.
