Tips
The Megashark's fast use time and good damage makes it a good option against mechanical bosses, if the Destroyer is fought the first, and even Plantera.
Compared to the Gatligator and the Uzi, the Megashark is the gun with the highest accuracy, lowest use time, and is the easiest to obtain. The Gatligator is very fast as well but has low accuracy and can be rare at times, and the Uzi has high velocity bullets and a good amount of damage, but is slower and much rarer. That said, both the Gatligator and the Uzi can be obtained before defeating The Destroyer (Megashark requires 20 Souls of Might, whereas Gatligator can be bought and Uzi drops from Angry Trapper), which can be seen as a point in their favor.

Paired with a Golden Shower, the Megashark is a powerful weapon that can last all the way up to the Martian Madness.
Trivia
The Minishark has the same sell value as the Megashark, despite being weaker and an ingredient in its crafting recipe.
The S.D.M.G. is a direct upgrade to the Megashark, though unlike the Megashark, it is an exclusive drop.
When firing straight down, one can see that the bullets appear just above the barrel, near the fins.
Since Lepus has a 1% chance to drop 3 Souls of Might, it is possible to obtain the crafting ingredients for the Megashark pre-Hardmode. However, it will still require a Hardmode Anvil to craft.

Note that DPS is rarely considered a suitable stat for comparison due to being affected by numerous variable, thus unreliable factors.
