What I've discovered is that you have to find the right balance of inking and killing power. Currently, a lot of people run with the Splatroller, almost always the Krak-On Splatroller, which is just the Splatroller with the Kraken as it's special. Heck, I've been in matches where I am the only person running with a gun at all. People love it because of it's wide, easy to use ink covering ability, and it's one-hit-kills on enemy players, provided you can get close enough to run them over.
For me, I didn't like the Jet Squelcher because it was very hard to lay down ink and help cover areas when you weren't in a firefight.... inkfight... whatever, haha. You might like the chargers, which are this game's sniper weapons. It will take you until level 13 or 14 to unlock the one that actually has a scope on it, however, their range is still shorter than you would expect, and they only ink in a narrow straight line. Actually, my guess is that you would prefer the Splattershot Pro, which is a gun like the starting gun, the Spattershot Jr, except it has a longer range and a lower rate of fire.
But the best part about trying new weapons is that the game lets you test drive them in a special shooting gallery arena before you buy them, and even after you buy them, so you can see exactly how they shoot, how they ink, and how fast they kill target dummies. Its really nice.
