Sniping is something of an interesting playstyle in Splatoon. When playing a game where the point is to cover as much turf as possible, it seems counterintuitive to be posting up in places and covering what you can from a vantage point. Moving around isn't much of an option either, as the Rollers will make short work of you before you can charge a shot enough to take them out. That is, unless you have the Bamboozler 14 Mk I. Added in a relatively recent update, the Bamboozler 14 Mk I joins the Squiffer line in being a more assault based option for those who wish to snipe, with the catch being that it usually takes two charged shots to down an inkling.
Now, it appears that another is set to be added to the Bamboozler line, with the Bamboozler 14 Mk II due to arrive tomorrow morning in Europe. There's no word on whether or not North America gets it at the same time, but it'll likely arrive this evening. It appears that this will just be the Bamboozler Mk I, but with a different Secondary and Super. Here's the tweet:

How do we know if we weren't just Bamboozled?
I'll see myself out now...
Strange day to release a new weapon.
@OorWullie I agreed. Couldn't they released the weapon on a Friday or something?
@OorWullie Same as last week isn't it? We may be getting weapons this day every week now.
Congrats to NLer Mk II on getting his own weapon : )
@Porky Yep,I assumed that was just because of the Direct and the new map coming on the Saturday.
@Hendesu Yeah,not sure why they would change that?Even though I don't really use most new weapons it was nice to get something new for the start of the weekend.
Bored of all these deco weapons. Bring out some brand new ones!
Hmm...i'll be expecting something else new on Thursday or Friday, like last week.
Well no it is not the main objective to cover turf in anything but TW and snipers who are capable can change the whole course of a ranked match with a few well placed shots.
Another new weapon I won't use.
Well, we're getting a weapon a couple of days eariler starting last week. Nothing to complain about, honestly.
Wonder when the wasmachine will come.
Yessss! The MK I has a great special attack, but the secondary weapon it"s one of my least favorite. Really looking forward to this one.
I like how they keep making new weapon combinations. I would've never used the Sploosh-o-matic if the neo version was never released a little while ago. The Neo Sploosh-o-matic is one of my top 5 fav weapons now
