All future weapon names, when revealed, will be added respectively. These are only the ones we know the names of currently. The on-disc BigBall_Launchers 1 and 2 (most likely the powerful version of the Slosher and its custom variant) still need their names revealed, and we will still be getting many free off-disc weapons that we have no means of knowing the names of as of now. Please leave feedback on these potential abbreviations about what is good and what can be changed.

EDIT: Those names have been revealed. The Sloshing Machines are now added to the abbreviation list.

I am never going to remember all of these

That is a lot to remember, I think for now I'll keep calling the Slosher the bucket

That's okay. XD These abbreviations are meant for efficiency, not exactly memorization. For little shortcuts where instead of having to say "Custom E-Liter 3K Scope" one would just type CEL3KS and it would be understood.

We don't need every part of each weapon's name. There are no E-Liters that don't have 3k, for example. So they can simply be EL and CEL, or E3K and C3K. The idea with abbreviation is to keep it short.

Krak-on Splat Roller can just be KSR. Rapid Blaster Pro Deco can just be RPD - rapid pro deco. An effective abbreviation system doesn't need to encompass every part of each name, just what's important and not confusing. Any abbreviation over 4 letters is probably too much.

Other examples: the junior can just be Jr. L-3 Nozzlenose D can just be L3D, same for H3D. I think that about covers it.

Anyway, thanks for getting some community abbreviation going. I don't think anyone wants to say Rapid Blaster Pro Deco & Knuckles every single time they refer to it.

You're welcome! :)And indeed, it's already pain enough to say Krak-on-Splat Roller because no one understands me when I say KOSR. And, I mean, you know how common that weapon is. :/

Above was meant to be a reply. Sorry. Something got messed up in the posting.

UPDATE: With the latest patch, the data for the heavy-hitting Sloshers has been finished, revealing both their look and their names: the Sloshing Machine and the Sloshing Machine Neo! They have been added to the list above as SM and SMN.
