Splatgun

root@hyperion-db:~$ cat description.txt

Splatguns fire arcing energy globes that feel closer to mini grenade launchers than true shotguns. They spend 2 ammo per shot, carry boosted elemental chance, and lean heavily into splashy area damage over direct precision. Tediore versions add MIRV-style thrown reloads, while Hyperion versions bounce off surfaces until they find a target, giving each manufacturer its own flavor of chaos.

It can roll a critical-hit accessory even though it cannot land critical hits. It cannot roll the vertical grip, or the Gentle and Practicable prefixes that would grant three-projectile versions. Absorb shields can convert absorbed shots into launcher ammo. Krieg's Blood Overdrive will not trigger from Tediore Splatguns because of the elemental splash, but it will trigger from Hyperion versions.
