Gun item that increases damage to aerial targets

I want a 1600 item that goes like this:
+5% spirit res
+10% reload speed
Passive: increases weapon damage by 25% on targets that are off the ground.

I think jumping is too strong in this game, and I want something to punish overly movement-happy players/characters.
 
Pros:
  • Gives a decent reward to tracking flying movement, and makes cheesy wall-jump tricks a little more dangerous.
  • Being conditional, it isn't a continuous damage boost, making it semi-unreliable/match-up specific.
  • Being just a damage buff, it makes flying movement riskier without actually shutting it down, allowing for counterplay.
  • Is a pretty neat call-back to the Reserve Shooter of TF2.​
Cons:
  • It may cause the fliers (Vindicta and Grey Talon) to be shut down early in lane, or otherwise be unreasonably punished for using their kit.
  • Upon further reflection, it may need to be a 3200 where it lines up neatly with both point blank and Hollow point. (although it also aligns with Opening rounds, which is 1600)
  • May interact explosively with certain game mechanics/abilities. testing may be needed.
As for the name, I was thinking something like "Clay pigeon" or maybe skybane?
