This weapon is probably a reference to the shark gun in the video game Armed and Dangerous.When Shark-O-Matic used on enemies or civilians swimming in water, the shark comes up from the water instead, but the rumbling sound still occurs.If left idle, Playa Female Voice 3, sometimes says ' There is no Steelport Sewer Shark, people are just hallucinating.'.These sharks also appear in Apocalypse Genki, attacking any mascot that comes in contact or thrown into the water (but they won't harm Playa) which gives the special ' Water Bear' bonus. The name of the shark is the Steelport Sewer Shark, and this name possibly indicates that the shark is an urban legend, or that it is feared by many in Steelport.Like most weapons from DLC packs, the Shark-O-Matic cannot be upgraded.It also does not work in certain areas like aboard the cargo plane in the mission Air Steelport. This weapon does not work on Brutes and special homies, such as Shaundi, and does not work on other players in co-op. Afterward, a shark comes up from the ground and violently devours their victim however, the shark will not appear if the player attempts to use one while aboard an airplane or ship.
When it is shot at a person, they either panic or look for the stain.
When shot, it covers what is shot at in fish guts. This weapon is a shotgun and is part of the Shark Attack Pack.
