Megashark

The Megashark is a Hardmode gun that fires Bullets. It is a stronger version of the Minishark, and is one of the strongest pre-Plantera guns in the game. It fires at an insanely fast speed and has a 50% chance not to consume ammo.

Tips

 * If the reduced 50% ammo consumption of this weapon is combined with a ranged bonus of 20% reduced ammo usage (such as the Necro armor's, Shroomite armor's or Ammo Boxes), or with a 25% reduced ammo usage (such as the Hallowed armor's or Adamantite armor's), the observed final bonus is multiplicative between the two, resulting in a 60% ammo reduction or 62.5% ammo reduction respectively (That means that a stack of 999 bullets will yield about 2498 and 2664 shots on average, respectively). In case it is used with the Titan armor, the resultant bonus will be 78% less ammo consumption (3842 shots on average).
 * Using an renders the ammo usage reduction useless, which allows one to wear other armors in favor of different bonuses.
 * Compared to the Gatligator and the Uzi, the Megashark is the most accurate and low use time gun. The Gatligator is very fast but has low accuracy and can be rare at times, and the Uzi has high velocity bullets and a good amount of damage, but is slower and much more rare. That said, both the Gatligator and the Uzi can be obtained before defeating The Destroyer, which can be seen as a point in their favor.
 * When paired with High Velocity Bullets, this weapon can be quite effective against The Twins because the high velocity counteracts their high speed.
 * Since the Megashark has a low use time, you can use the Rifle Scope or Sniper Scope to shoot from a far distance. That would be effective against Golem and Plantera.

Trivia

 * The Minishark has a higher sell value than the Megashark, despite being weaker and an ingredient in its crafting recipe.
