Minishark



The Minishark is a gun that can be bought from the Arms Dealer for and uses any form of bullet. It has an incredibly high fire rate and a base damage of 6. 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 for critical strike chance or Deadly for speed.

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. When adding the Ammo Box, adding another 1 in 5 chance (20%) of not consuming ammunition, this weapon has a 2 in 3 (66.7%) chance of not consuming ammo, making a 999-bullet stack rising to ~1665 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).
 * The Minishark deals small amounts of damage very quickly, meaning that against enemies with higher defense its damage is reduced to one per hit, causing a significant decrease in overall damage output. As most Hardmode enemies have enough defense to negate its damage and significantly more health than basic enemies, it becomes functionally useless beyond this point until the Megashark is crafted.
