The Splattershot Pro is a Main Weapon in Splatoon.

Description
More powerful than the Splattershot, it is an advanced in terms of power and rate of fire, making it easy to use for more experienced players. It comes in a set with the Splat Bomb and Inkstrike. "An updated Splattershot developed with advanced battlers in mind. Consumes a lot of ink and has a slow rate of fire, but its range and accuracy are vastly improved."

Competitive Viability
While originally seeing almost no use in competitive play, with the 2.7 patch came the rise of the pro in competitive play. The Pro Series is the most common long range shooter used in competitive, and the original is a decent one at that. With a strong sub in the Splat Bomb and the excellent range in the weapon, the splattershot pro does get use from time to time. However the slightly more common Berry Splattershot Pro tends to be used in place of it instead.

Name Origin
Splattershot Pro is a combination of Splatter (as well as Splat) and Shot. It also has the shortened form of Professional at the end to denote it is a weapon for advanced players.

Its japanese name, プライムシューター puraimu shūtā, means "Prime Shooter".
