Actually they're entirely new weapon types, buckets are "BigBall" weapons (internally, chargers shooters and rollers have their own class), and the Gatling guns are exactly that. Leftovers from dev have BigBall_Strong, BigBall_Diffusion, BigBall_Launcher, Gatling_Standard, and Gatling_Hyper. I'm betting that those two are the first ones in the list, BigBall_Strong, and Gatling_Standard. Makes sense to hide the ones that'd shake things up. See: http://pastie.org/pastes/10310878/text
They definitely seem to be Charger related due to the winking and literal start up time.It said in the text for the Gatling Guns that they are a type of charger. Also SUB CATEGORY FOR CHARGERS CONFIRMED!!!!!!
Also the buckets sound like a cross of the function and power of blaster type weapons with the nozzlenose type weapons when they are described as throwing out "balls" of ink but no rapid fire. The one that throws out 3 splashes simultaneously sounds cool and I wonder if they will have less range than blasters but not have a sweetspot/damage will be pretty even throughout most of the splash.
