Nintendo revealed further details about the weaponry available in Splatoon 3.
To begin with, it has been confirmed that all basic weaponry from prior Splatoon games would be included in the third version. Including, presumably, the standard Splattershot, Roller, Slosher, and so on.

More weapons details
A number of the Basic Shooter-style weaponry were also showed off on the game’s Japanese Twitter account.
The.96 Gal is a high-impact, long-range weapon that delivers a powerful punch. The ink tank has been customized to Splatlands requirements, while the barrel is derived from a water-purification system. Talk what a flawless shot!
これは「.96ガロン」。
高威力・長射程の重量級シューターだ。
使用するインクタンクがバンカラ地方のメーカーのものに変更されている。

Some consider the Splattershot to be an entry-level shooter, although it outperforms the competition in numerous aspects. The most recent Splatsville edition has a redesigned frame that provides increased durability and simplicity of maintenance.
これは「スプラシューター」。
扱いやすさを保ちながらも、様々な面で平均以上の性能を持つ、シューターの中でも基準と言えるブキだ。
バンカラ街で使用されているものは、新たに開発された3次曲面を使ったフレームにより、壊れにくさとメンテナンス性の向上が図られている。 pic.twitter.com/fSrcCuEKaj— Splatoon（スプラトゥーン） (@SplatoonJP) May 2, 2022
The Splattershot Jr. is not a toy for children. It may not be the most powerful or precise weapon, but it excels in rationing ink, making it great for expanding turf!
About Splatoon 3
In the upcoming Splatoon game, ink up the Splatlands!
Enter the Splatlands, a scorching desert home to battle-hardened Inklings and Octolings. The adrenaline-fueled core of this dusty wasteland lies Splatsville, the city of disorder.
Turf War* remains supreme even in this harsh setting, as conflicts rage in new levels found in the surrounding wilds, such as the breathtaking Scorch Gorge.
Dynamic new maneuvers, as well as a new bow-shaped weapon to fling ink and new special weapons, such as the scuttling Crab Tank, let these combatants evade assaults and cover more territory.
Splatoon 3 is set to release on September 9th, 2022 on the Nintendo Switch.
