Buckets have always been shotguns in Splatoon to begin with. Similar power and splash range of roller but with shorter rate of fire between shots and lacking roller's maneuverability while spreading ink.
The problem with it as a weapon is just like a roller though. If the opponent has range or can maneuver close with shooter, they can do you in. It can be a hassle, especially if you sneak into a unsuspecting opponents range, but I won't call this one the best weapon in Splatoon 2 yet.
