S.D.M.G.

The S.D.M.G (Or Space Dolphin Machine Gun) is a straight upgrade to the Megashark, with a slightly faster firing rate and same ammo usage bonus, except with a noticeably higher damage output. It also gives a +5% critical hit chance. It is also a considerably close competitor with the Chain Gun, being more precise, causing slightly more damage but being slower in return.

The S.D.M.G. was once given to all players on national shark day, only if they had an "Unreal Megashark" at the time being.

Trivia

 * This item is a reference from the game Edge of Space (hence the subtext 'It came from the edge of space'), in which Terraria is also referenced or from A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
 * S.D.M.G. is an acronym for Space Dolphin Machine Gun.
 * Space Dolphins are a race of creatures in the DC Comics universe, favored by the character Lobo.
 * The sprite for this weapon resembles the Dolphins on the first edition cover of David Brin's novel Startide Rising. The Science Fiction novel features Dolphins genetically engineered for greater intelligence who wear harnesses with apparatus that allow them to manipulate objects.
 * Could also be a reference to the game, Ecco the Dolphin. In a notably difficult level, called Welcome to the Machine, Ecco enters 'The Machine' to fight an alien race and save his pod. Extensive use of the 'Death Sonar' is required for this level, and is a ranged attack( with S.D.M.G being a gun and all).
