Splat-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, SPLATOON!!

Honestly, I think the stats you suggested are excellent. A very nice support tool! I do think it would be unique for the weapon to spray its paint like a flamethrower, but that would make the thing equally brainless to use...

Two considerations with the above suggestion:
1) the pistol can fire 10 rounds in 1.5 seconds, leaving you with only 1 second to switch weapons and fire a shot. At that point you’d be better off just shooting the enemy two or three times with your scattergun.
2) due to needing to have 10 pellets hit an enemy within a certain time frame before any real benefits occur, it might be dissatisfying to use and fight against (imagine losing a fight whilst using this weapon because you missed a single bullet that would’ve marked the enemy for death, or fighting against it and losing because you didn’t dodge the 10th shot)


My stat suggestion:
Pistol style secondary
- single shot clip
- reduced reserve ammo
- decreased reload speed
- enemies hit are covered in paint
- a paint covered enemy has a temporarily reduced jump height and suffers from a minor slowdown effect, in addition to their vision being blurred red or blue (similarly to the yellow from jarate)
- killing an enemy covered in paint grants a short term speed boost (similarly to the disciplinary action)

Fires a fast paint projectile that tags enemies.

Tagged enemies take mini-crits for 2 (maybe more) seconds. Clip size of 2, Ammo capacity 10.

Deals no actual damage.

-shooting this weapon at the ground will create a sticky mess, freezing your enemies in place for a good 2 seconds.

-30% damage penalty

LOVE the idea of creating a goo puddle, but full-blown freezing enemies is a big no-no in competitive games. Slowing people down would be handy, however.

Oh! And perhaps your turret would prioritise targets in the goo, even if they'd otherwise be outside its range! That'd make it a neat utility side-grade to the Wrangler.
