The Ballpoint Splatling is an upcoming main weapon in Splatoon 2. It is a splatling that changes its rate of fire and range drastically between a single charge and double charge.[1]
This Splatling works different from other Splatlings. It doesn’t have consistent range if you are firing in short bursts. There are two stages of firing with this weapon. The first stage will only last for a quarter ring charge. This stage has the range equivalent to the 
Splattershot Jr. and fires faster compared to other Splatlings. If you charge more than a quarter ring, after the quarter ring of short range fire, the range will increase dramatically, having range in between the 
Heavy Splatling and 
Hydra Splatling. During its second stage firing, it has perfect accuracy will but fires slightly slower compared to other Splatlings.
Unique to the Ballpoint Splatling is the ability to recharge the weapon by press ZR any time while it's firing. When recharging the shots, the weapon will maintain the property of whichever stage it was on, however the charge between 1 3/4 and 2 ring charge will automatically default it back to first stage. Additionally, the weapon is able to maintain its stage two charge even after it has finished firing by starting another charge within 1 second.
