Minishark

The Minishark is a machine gun that can be bought from the Arms Dealer and uses any form of ammunition. It has an incredibly high fire rate, making it devastating against most enemies. It is efficient against all 3 Bosses.

Each shot from the Minishark has a 1 in 3 chance (~33%) of not consuming any ammunition. This means, on average, that a stack of 250 bullets can yield 375 shots. With the Necro Armor, which provides an additional 1 in 5 chance (20%) of not consuming ammunition, the average yield from a 250-bullet stack rises to 535 (250 / 0.467).

Tips

 * Because of its low per-projectile damage, the Minishark has some problems against enemies with high defense, such as Bone Serpents, which take 1 damage per shot, even with Meteor Shots. Skeletron takes 4-5 damage from this weapon.
