Weapons in the Splatoon series are very different compared to others. While some weapons are faster and deal less damage, others can be slow and deal a heavy amount of damage. Their kits also can change a weapon from being a slayer, to a supportive loadout. All weapons can still be used effectively in battle.

Shooters

Shooters are automatic and continuously shoot ink by holding

Name	Variants
Sploosh-o-matic	Sploosh-o-matic The weapon has a very lackluster kit. Curling Bombs are ineffective at pushing and Splashdown is unreliable. Neo Sploosh-o-matic The weapon is slightly better than its vanilla variant. Squid Beakons are inefficient at pushing but do help on specific stages, and the cheap Tenta Missiles apply pressure to the other team. Sploosh-o-matic 7 Considered the best variant of the three. The Splat Bomb helps poke at opponents and the Ultra Stamp helps with the Sploosh-o-matic 7's slayer role
Splattershot Jr.	The Splattershot Jr. can spam Splat Bombs with less Ink Saver (Sub) than other weapons, and has a cheap Ink Armor to support the team. The Custom Splattershot Jr. can spam both Autobombs with its larger ink tank, and Ink storm, with the cheap special gauge requirement and turfing. The Kensa Splattershot Jr. has what is considered one of the best kits to instapop bubbles. The Torpedos can instantly pop bubbles if used properly, making the weapon very strong.
Splash-o-matic	The Competitive:Splash-o-matic has Toxic Mist which is not the best sub to have, the weapon could farm Inkjets quickly, giving the weapon a more aggressive option. The Neo Splash-o-matic has a supportive kit. Burst Bombs help the weapon be more mobile and the Suction Bomb Launcher helps take back map control.
Splattershot	Splattershot While not the best, the weapon is still versitile. Burst Bombs help with finishing off opponents, but Splashdown does not help the weapon much. The Tentatek Splattershot is a weapon with a slayer kit. It has a Splat Bomb useful to poke with, and Inkjet to splat opponents. The Kensa Splattershot instead of the others, has a supportive loudout with Suction Bombs and Tenta Missiles to pressure opponents.
