The Neo Splash-o-matic is a Shooter Main Weapon in Splatoon and was released on July 22nd 2015 at. It is the Neo version of the Splash-o-matic.

Description
A Neo variant of the the Splash-o-matic. Its attack power is slightly better than the Aerospray MG and RG, but has a slightly diminshed rate of fire equal to the Splattershot Jr.. Similar to the N-ZAP '85 this shooter has unusually high accuracy. This weapon comes with the Burst Bomb Sub Weapon and Inkzooka Special Weapon.

"A Splash-o-matic with a different Sub and Special setup, enabling a different fighting style. Throw the opponent off balance with Burst Bombs and use the Inkzooka to pick off distant foes."

Competitive Viability
Once again, burst bombs take a pretty weak weapon in the Splash-o-matic and make it better with the Neo Splash. The biggest problem the Splash had was killing efficiency, and now with the Burst Bomb sub, the Neo Splash finds getting kills much easier. It does not get the incredible map control special the suction Bomb Rush gives to the regular Splash, but the Neo Splash has a good special itself with the Inkzooka, which covers for the Neo-Splash's weak range. While it is probably the best "o-matic", it is in reality an inferior Tentatek Splattershot, however, leaving it to not be seen as frequently as one would expect. Because everything it does the Tentatek does better, there is not much use for the Neo Splash in competitive play, despite the fact it is pretty good.

Recomended abilities
Because of the Neo Splash-O-Matic's small range, equip Bomb Range Up to improve distant combat with Burst Bombs.

Increasing damage allows users to splat opponents that have Defense Up more easily with Burst Bombs.

With Ink Saver (Sub), users are able to throw Burst Bombs at a more frequent rate, improving distant combat.

Using Special Charge Up allows users to more frequently pull out the Inkzooka to take out opponents from range.
