List of firearms

The following is a list of all guns used by playable characters as weapons in the Super Smash Bros. series.

Arm Cannon

Samus carrying the Arm Cannon in Ultimate.

The Arm Cannon is Samus and Dark Samus's main weapon. It fires shots of energy that can be charged up, as well as missiles. While Samus's cannon is used in conjunction with her Power Suit, Dark Samus's cannon appears to be a natural part of her body. In SSB4, Dark Samus uses her Arm Cannon as an Assist Trophy to fire blasts of Phazon. Mii Gunners can also wield the Arm Cannon as part of the costume based on Samus.

Blaster

The blaster is an energy-firing pistol shared between Fox, Falco and Wolf. Fox and Falco's blasters have identical appearances, but function differently: Fox's blaster rapid-fires red lasers that don't flinch opponents, while Falco's fires slower, blue lasers that cause opponents to flinch. Wolf's blaster has a unique design, with a small bayonet below its barrel. Its fire is green in Brawl and purple in Ultimate; while even slower than Falco's, the shots do considerable damage.

Mii Gunners can also wield the Fox's Blaster as part of the costume based on Fox.

Peanut Popgun

The Peanut Popgun is Diddy Kong's wooden pistol, which can fire peanuts that damage opponents. If charged for too long, the gun will misfire, exploding in Diddy's hand.

Paralyzer

Zero Suit Samus carrying the Paralyzer in Ultimate.

The Paralyzer is Samus's secondary weapon when she is without her Power Suit. It is not as powerful as the Arm Cannon, but as its name implies, it can be used to paralyze opponents, neutralizing them for a short period of time.

Mega Buster

The Mega Buster is Mega Man's most basic weapon, an arm cannon which fires shots of energy. Mega Man can use the Buster while standing, walking, and jumping; it can also be charged to fire a more powerful shot. When using the Variable Weapons System, the Mega Buster can also adapt to fire other kinds of projectiles. Either of Mega Man's hands can transform into Mega Busters, though using both simultaneously causes him to overheat, requiring him to cool down afterwards.

In addition, MegaMan Volnutt, MegaMan.EXE and Star Force Mega Man's also use weapons known as Mega Busters, though they are different from Mega Man's. Mii Gunners can also wield the Mega Buster as part of the costume based on MegaMan.EXE.

Bayonetta's Handguns

Love is Blue, and Scarborough Fair, as they appear in
Bayonetta's home franchise.

See also: Bullet Climax and Bullet Arts

In Smash, Bayonetta uses two sets of four guns, each set named after a tragic love song, with the names of each individual guns named after lyrics from said song. In her default costumes she wields Love is Blue as her primary means of attack. When using Bayonetta's "A Witch With No Memories" costume, Love is Blue is replaced with Scarborough Fair, with no difference in function. On top of each gun in "Love is Blue" having its own name, the handle of each gem has a color coded jeweled charm hanging from its grip, each one engraved with a certain flower that has a meaning tied too its name. In Smash, Bayonetta uses the guns for her neutral special, as well as Bullet Arts, which allows her to stand in place and fire one of her four guns after nearly all of her moves. Kirby can also use the Love is Blue set of guns if he copies Bayonetta's neutral special.

The individual names for each gun in "Love is Blue", as well as the flower engraved gems, are:

"Eye of the Overseer", its flower a Marigold; symbolizing Sorrow, her right-hand gun with the red gem.
"An Endless Life", its flower a Muscari (Grape Hyacinth); symbolizing Frustration, her left-hand gun with the the white gem.
"The Darkest Night", its flower an Erica (Heath/Heather); symbolizing Solitude, her right-heel gun with the black gem.
"A Jealous Lover", its flower a Cyclamen; symbolizing Jealousy, her left-heel gun with the green gem.

The individual names for each gun in "Scarborough Fair" are:

"Parsley, ever Joyous", her right-hand gun with the green gem.
"Sage, ever Strong", her left-hand gun with the red gem.
"Rosemary, ever Reminiscent", her right-heel gun with the blue gem.
"Thyme, ever Courageous", her left-heel gun with the white gem.

Made by the famed Angel-turned-Demon Weapon Smith Rodin, despite being guns Bayonetta actually uses them, most of the time, for melee strikes: pistol whipping her enemies with every punch and kick she performs. She is capable of creating small explosions while pulling the trigger during impacts, and if its held she will pause mid-combo and begin shooting, performing her Bullet Arts technique. The guns are made from a special demonic alloy that "The Devil himself would do anything to get his hands on", making them very rare and valuable, and possibly even indestructible. The gemstones embedded into the chambers of each gun house the spirits of demonic fairies from hell, with their magic each gun contains an infinite number of auto-loading magical bullets.

Splattershot

The Splattershot is Inkling's main weapon, a gun that exclusively fires ink. Resembling a plastic water gun, the Splattershot is the most basic Shooter weapon available in Splatoon. Mii Gunners can also wield the Splattershot as part of the costumes based on Inklings.
