Minishark



The Minishark is a gun that can be bought from the Arms Dealer and uses any form of bullet. It has an incredibly high fire rate and a base power of 6, yielding 13 damage with Musket Balls and 15 damage with either Meteor Shot or Silver Bullets. In addition, each shot from the Minishark has a 1 in 3 chance (~33%) of not consuming any ammunition. The Minishark does not deal any knockback.

Its best Modifier is Demonic.

Achievement

Tips

 * On average, a stack of 999 bullets can yield 1499 shots. With the Necro armor, which provides an additional 1 in 5 chance (20%) of not consuming ammunition, giving combined chance equal to 7 in 15 (46.7%) chance to consume ammo. In this case the average yield from a 999-bullet stack rises to 1873 shots.
 * On average with the Minishark in constant use, one bullet is consumed every 10.5 use time (0.175 seconds). With the Necro armor on average, one bullet is consumed every 15 use time (0.25 seconds).
 * Skeletron normally takes 4-5 damage from this weapon, but when his head is spinning he loses all of his defense, giving you an opportunity to hit for much higher damage (about 12-16 damage depending on the bullets in use).
 * An easy way to farm money for buying the Minishark is to craft Abeeminations, and then the player may defeat the Queen Bee. The boss drops 10 gold coins after being defeated.
 * This weapon becomes close to useless during Hardmode, as many of the new enemies have high defense and health (such as the Possessed Armor). Each bullet will do only 1 or 2 damage to most enemies. Using a Phoenix Blaster may be a good alternative as the damage is many times higher. Because of this many players leave their Minishark to collect dust until they defeat The Destroyer, when they will be able to craft it into a Megashark.
