N-Zap 85 or N-Zap 89? Also N-Zap 83 missing?

[SacredWarrior]

As someone who's been using the N-Zap weapons since the first game, I'm glad to see they're still around though I wish the N-Zap 83 was in the game as well :( As for which one I prefer using, I highly prefer the N-Zap 85 because it has a better kit overall compared to the 89 which has a bad special in my eyes unlike in Splatoon 2! For all of the N-Zap players in here, which one do you prefer and why? Also do you think the N-Zap 83 should make a comeback and if it ever does, what kind of kit should it have?

As a Tacticooler main (I'm only half joking), I use N-ZAP '85 way more often. However, '89 is fun to bust out during Splatfests given how cheap its Chumps are, especially considering how well the main weapon paints! I do also have a bit of a soft spot for '89 because it was one of my Splatoon 2 mains, right next to Splat Dualies on the list of frontline weapons with counterintuitive Tenta Missiles.

I'm normally not supportive of shooters as weapons, but the N-ZAP '85 (not the '89) is one of few exceptions.
Having a shooter that's actually supposed to be mobile and good at painting to support its team makes it a lot more reasonable.
If I ever feel the need to play a full auto shooter, you can bet I'm playing the N-ZAP '85.
As for the '83, assuming it will reappear, I think it's likely to get a reference kit in the form of Sprinkler + Kraken Royale. Though I'm fairly certain that Nintendo will only be giving each weapon two kits in Splatoon 3, at least on the Switch.

Really? Why not '89? I feel like the second half of this applies to that weapon too. Not that I think 170p is how it should have been buffed, but I like the kit itself a lot.

Autobomb spam.
So.
Many.
Chickens.
Really leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
No other weapon spams them nearly as much.

I also dislike weapons that are both more annoying and less powerful than their alternate kits in general.
Genuinely, why are you picking the Gold Dynamo? To have a lethal bomb? To be a nuisance? There's no good answer.
Why pick the '89? No good reason. This extends to Neo Splash, T'tek, and Enperries as well. Gold Naut, Brush Nouveau, REEF-LUX Deco, vTri, and especially vSqueezer. To name a few.
Maybe I just don't like people in general...

What about the Nzap 82 81 79 78 77 76 75 74 73 72 71 70 69 68 67 66 65 64 63 62 61 60 59 58 57 56 56 55 54 53 52 51 50 49 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 36 35 35 34 33 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1?

Tacticooler is the best special in the game. Super Chump is not.

Not related but Nintendo are wusses for not making the N-Zap 83 the real Famicom Light Gun (If you didn't know the Famicom's N-Zap was just an actual revolver, that's why so many light-gun games were Wild-West based)

I just use N-Zap '85 due to the almost exact shooting speed as Aerospray RG (seriously it has almost the same exact speed)

What if N-Zap was named N-Freak and it inked splatzones and ate chumps

The N-ZAP actually has the exact same fire rate as the Splattershot Jr., Splash-o-Matic, and Sploosh-o-Matic.
The Aerospray fires slightly faster than other fast-firing shooters, firing five shots in the time it takes an N-ZAP to fire four.
This also gives Aerospray a slightly higher DPS than the other fast-firing shooters, despite having a slower time to splat.
The more you know.
