Super soakers from 1990 on ebay? seems like everything new is garbage. why cant they re-release these old style guns? because people used them for flame throwers? IDK! still have one old one i think in garage and just bought two used ones on eBay.

Yes the ones that require draw up each shot do work well but they are not what im looking for and only can be used in the pool. Wish for something that will be for more than one shot since that is not much of a water fight.

how about water bullets? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLvDJOvwa7k
im not a fan of Kickstarter but hopefully other companies will jump in.
in the video, looks like it can only shoot a distance of about 8ft. i see the bullet dipping down way too much after 5ft!!! cant tell if it's because the gun is a prototype. would be nice if there's a water gun that can shoot as far as the Nerf's Rival series.

I've seen a lot of failed crowd funding projects, and I've noticed a theme. If their demo video makes you wish you were seeing better/longer shots of the product actually functioning, it's mostly because it isn't working as well as they wanted it to and they're trying to make it look the best they can in the edit. I never saw any good shots of the gun firing zoomed out to see how far it would go, or anything like that. All of the videos of them using it were from up close, and they cut away so fast you could barely see what was happening.

My bullshit gauge is pretty high on this one. Looks fun if it worked though

wow at least you are bumping the thread but with total nonsense. not even a generic gun recommendation. You realize its not for a 1 person water fight? water guns are ment to be used with other people with water guns. Pressure washing someones skin off will end the fun pretty fast.

I saw one water bullet pistol thing that looked cool but it doesn't have a trigger its a slingshot style in the shape of pistol

Have you been on the front page lately? Quality topics are hard to come by - these shitposts have to go somewhere.

Why not just use your built-in hose like a real man?

I fully support your angry responses. Demand satisfaction.




My kids and their friends use those water blaster plunger things. Like these:
https://www.amazon.com/JOYIN-Blaste...pID=51JLocWI-iL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Except those are shitty. Don't buy those. The ones we have are much larger and better quality.

Plus pump action water guns, which provide more shots, but smaller shots. Some of them are pretty decent. Like this (no idea if these specific ones are any good, just illustrating the concept):
https://www.amazon.com/Blaster-Soak...d=1534521829&sr=1-12&keywords=pump+squirt+gun

The kids have water wars with bases. At each base is a big tub of water for refills.

I still prefer super soakers over either of those options, but those two options are the best current products we've seen.


We've also tried those water balloons that come in clusters with a hose attachment that are super easy to fill a bunch of at once. The issue with those is they tend to not break easily enough. You get smacked by a balloon and it hurts, but it doesn't break and get you wet. Instead, it bounces off you and hits the ground and breaks there. Feh.

Problem is easily solved by freezing the water balloons first

I fundamentally believe that the batpenis buttplug water pistol would make you the envy of your next water-fight/LARPing party. I was just trying to help. :(

Yes those are the only ones thats shoot, but might as well have the garden hose if you are stuck in one spot reloading.. i suppose in a pool they are ok which could be fine since will be one of the uses. They are not however better than a water gun with a surplus of water to shoot.

I wonder if they still make the backpack accessory...

interesting. i am limited to what i can see from here as far as ebay / amazon, but i checked google images and i see a "boat buddy" attachment that goes at the end and appears to give you a reload from water source near.. (thinking a tank can be attached with hose inside) Would also look a little home made again, but very easy if i can find somewhere to buy for less than 15. ;) checking out XP60 super soaker smaller style for around 20 bux.. maybe i can modify the tank to a bigger size.
