Is the Space Gun good against Skeletron?

The Space Gun is a viable option against Skeletron, particularly when paired with Meteor Armor, as it offers decent damage, a quick rate of fire, and piercing abilities. When used with a full set of Meteor Armor, the Space Gun can be a decent weapon against Skeletron due to its ability to fire without expending mana.
