The Sharkron Assault Rifle fires three shots, each one with a delay of 3 ticks, for a total of 9 ticks. The delay between one burst and the next is 13 ticks. One complete use of the weapon (including the delay) takes 22 ticks.
- Due to the way the Sharkron and Clockwork Assault Rifles count ticks, their actual rate of fire is higher than expected. Despite a full use of a Clockwork Assault Rifle taking 26 ticks (~7 RPS), the actual rate of fire is 22 ticks (~8.2 RPS). The Sharkron Assault Rifle would expect to take 22 ticks (~8.2 RPS) but instead actually takes 19 ticks (~9.5 RPS).

This weapon's high rate of fire and low ammo consumption make it an intriguing choice for rangers.
If The Destroyer is fought before any other mechanical boss, the Sharkron Assault Rifle can be used to defeat the other two, making the fights much easier.
This weapon's low ammo consumption makes it ideal for people who use expensive ammo.
This can be a viable alternative to the Megashark, being obtained in a similar manner and having similar stats.
