| STATS | VALUE |

| Range | 58 |
| Charge Rate | 80 |
| Mobility | 90 |
| Sub Weapon | Suction Bomb |
| Special Weapon | Inkzooka |
Known as the distant cousin of the Tentatek, the amazing kit of the Suction Bomb and the Inkzooka is now fitted to a highly mobile, quickly-charging, ink-covering, in-your-face splatling that also outranges all midrange weapons. However, this weapon doesn't see enough usage anymore, due to the fact that its cousin the Tentatek is much more ink-efficient and mobile (and takes less shots to kill) while its brother the Zink Mini Splatling has a much more favorable kit for this weapon.
That being said. It is a monster in the right hands. [Ika Aki on youtube has a few S+ videos where he/she just goes HAM using this weapon and stacking run speed up, which I have linked the youtube search results here.] (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ika+aki+mini+splatling)
SO WHY MINI SPLATLING?
Spacing, mobility, map control. The same reasons you would pick a tentatek, but you take a penalty of a slight charge time for faster lateral and above-ground mobility, along with better inking (because the firing rate of splatlings is insanely fast).
An underrated weapon only because it is overshadowed by "better" options.
