It has a high fire rate and takes four hits to splat an opponent. It highly resembles the original North American NES Zapper, an accessory for theNintendo Entertainment System released in 1985, hence its name.
The N-ZAP '85 consists of a mid-length gray barrel connected to a gray handhold with a white body. The sides of the body have the Nintendo logo printed in red, with one side also having the word "Zapper" and a copyright for the year 1985 printed. Notably, this text is all in English lettering, rather than the Inkling language, as it matches the decals of the real world NES Zapper exactly. Attached to the weapon's handhold is a red trigger.

— In-Game Description
“
A new weapon called theN-ZAP '85 has been added to Splatoon! It's apparently based on the design of something called the NES Zapper that was released in 1985? Doesn't ring a bell. While it's not the most powerful weapon out there, it's got a great rate of fire and it comes in a set with Splat Bombs and the Echolocator.
The matchmaking range is 125. The game's matchmaking system looks at a team's average matchmaking range value, and matches them against a team with a similar average.

When initially firing the weapon in humanoid form, the first shot takes 3 frames to come out.
When firing from swim form, the first shot takes 11 frames to come out.
The interval between firing and when the player is able to enter swim form or use a sub weapon is 3 frames.
When firing continuously, it shoots a bullet every 5 frames (12 shots per second).
When firing while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.84 units per frame.
After firing, there is a 20 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.

The N-ZAP '85 starts off having a 1% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle.
This chance increases by 1% per shot, and maximizes at a 25% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle, meaning that it takes 24 shots to reach minimum accuracy.
When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 40%.

Ink droplets occur every 110 units.
The frequency at which ink drips from a shot occurs at a rate of 1.4 droplets per shot.
There are a total of 11 different droplet patterns that can be created while firing this weapon.
Droplets that occur within 11 units of the player have a radius of 18 units, and a width of 10 units.
These droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1.2 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.48 if they fell from a height below 30 units.
Droplets that occur when they travel past 200 units of the player have a radius of 16 units.
All other ink droplets have a radius of 11.6 units.
Droplets that are far from the player and all other droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.2 if they fell from a height below 30 units.
If no ink droplets have occurred within 11 units of the player for 4 shots, the next shot the player makes will force a paint droplet to appear at the player's feet.
TheN-ZAP '85 is ashooter with excellentink efficiency and rapid-fire capability! Its attack power isn't all that, but you can use its features to ink turf quickly as you pursue your opponents! Use theSuction Bombs to further stick it to the baddies, and as you close in on them, pop yourInk Armor and watch them squirm! This weapon is the very definition of "reliable." I recommend it for players who put a big emphasis on ink coverage!

▲ Reduced the scatter of shots while on land by approximately 17%: 6 degrees → 5 degrees.
This also includes midair shot-scatter reduction from theIntensify Action gear ability. The midair ink scatter will now be closer to the effect while shooting on land.
Fixed an issue where the damage dealt to Salmonids using the loaned N-ZAP '85 was lower than the damage dealt to enemies with N-ZAP '85 in multiplayer battles.
The damage dealt by loaned weapons sometimes differs from the multiplayer battle weapons of the same name, but as a general rule they do not deal less damage than their multiplayer battle mode counterparts.
The damage dealt by the multiplayer battle N-ZAP '85 was increased in ver. 6.1.0, making it deviate from the general rule. This has now been fixed.
TheN-ZAP '85 is ashooter with excellentink efficiency and rapid-fire capability! And, um... its power is certainly... adequate. Sorry - I hate to say anything negative, but thisweapon doesn't pack the biggest punch. But that's OK! It's fast enough to send your enemies scrambling... and that's when you hit 'em with theSuction Bombs. Fire up theTacticooler to energize your squad for a big push, and you've got a nimble loadout that's built for teamwork. It's what makes the dream work!
