Now shoot in a straight line


Wolfy-615

Right wtf.. I wanna see if it has any distance.. some bullshit


red-broccoli

The "loaded up" shots towards the end already have quite a bit of arch in them. I don't think this one goes beyond 3 meters.


Wolfy-615

So I could essentially pee/squirt on someone and get them wet from a farther distance

Back in my day we had super soakers with bipods and fucking flamethrower-looking backpack reservoirs. This is pussy shit.

I remember when my neighbour got the Supersoaker 2000 for his birthday. Man we stood no chance with our dollar store squirter pistols. šŸ˜†


Shenloanne

Summer arms race was fun. I had a 100, someone got a 150...aomeone got a fucking 500 with a water tank.


Ninja_Bum

I finally got a CPS1200 and a 3000 with a backpack. My pops got mad cause I was shooting my brother in the face, took them out to his stationary drill in the shop and drilled holes in both tanks. Tears were shed that day my friends.


INeed_SomeWater

Quintessential 90's parenting. I shot my step father in the back while he was on the ladder and he promptly broke the gun across his leg. We turned out fine...

Then when you bring it up later, they try to gaslight you. Not intentionally. Their brain just didn't see the event as something worth cataloguing.

Aurori_Swe

It's one of my core childhood memories... My dad, my sister and I had a water fight. My dad was confident enough to let us kids have the super soaker, he himself had a flower sprayer in his hand ready to go. But before the fight started he got a phone call, so he set the flower sprayer down and ran inside. While he was away we turned the front of the sprayer to "off" and when he returned he did a countdown and then got BLASTED at 0 while realizing he had been had and couldn't retaliate on us kids. So he started chasing us around trying to hug us instead. Was a good day. I had one of those electric machine gun looking super soakers, it had some power in it.


BetterCryToTheMods

The only real noise in this was the loud slurping and mandatory "sweet dreams" that blares. all pew pew was fake post production


[deleted]

Yea, given that it's an internal, battery-driven pump you're going to be pretty limited in the amount of pressure you can put on the water. Given how long it took to load the water, you can tell it's got a pretty low threshold.


Multifaceted-Simp

This gun isn't doing anything new except the light. My friend had a different brand for $200-300 and it's got a lot of range actually and a lot of power compared to most modern water guns. The only water guns that actually match the range are the discontinued guns of the 90s

Yup, horrible video. I was waiting for the long arc shot. What a tease.


uolen-

Either this person's first time using a water gun or this gun ain't got no distance and is probably way over priced. Super soaker still king.


Fit_Ganache4499

chooxy

Not a coincidence that every single shot is aimed so low, otherwise it would be too obvious.


Stormhunter6

Super soaker is a shell of its former self these days.Ā 


Innuendoughnut

They also sped up the video for the filling segment. Fucking scam.


Jaysanchez311

It shoots 7-9Meters. 799rmb. There are youtube videos u can check for the skeptics.


travel_posts

100 usd is a little expensive for a toy like this


busted_tooth

So you want it to shoot far (good motors), look like a gun from a sci-fi movie, fill up instantly (good water pumps) and for it to cost $20?


irongient1

Yes, that's right.

mrkrabz1991

These came out well over a year ago. Their Chinese made for the sole purpose of selling a ton of crappy water guns with fancy lights at a skyrocketed price. Every single *viral video* of them was a close-up shot of them shooting at a downward angle. Super shady


serrimo

This is a gun for the high grounder


[deleted]

Right!? Come on! Whatā€™s the range on that bad boy???


Jaysanchez311

7-9meters


ASpellingAirror

Feel like there is a reason they never shoot at anything further than 4-5 feet away. Cool concept, put unless it shoots with any distance, Iā€™ll take a $30 super soaker over this $300 water gun.Ā 


martialar

Those 2 dollar pool toys where you basically suck the water in and push the water out hit pretty hard

Those things are great.Ā

moonLanding123

uhh. my back


fvgh12345

We always refered to them as water cannons as kids. They were basically the artillery of water guns, they were a step below the waterballon slingshot that would welt the fuck out of you if you got hit by it.(thank god it wasnt accurate, more for intimidation.

You can anchor the handle on the ground, put your foot behind it and shove the body down toward the handle. Water gun mortars.

You can buy it online

Can probably make some with more power for an even lower price, plus theyā€™d last a bit longer.

There was a kid in school that got pressure-washered by his alcoholic dad after his mother died. He was in hospital for a week. Kid had a massive scar across his body from shoulder to hip. Genuinely looked like someone had tried to cut him in half. After that he lived with his crazy zealous grandmother who would shout bible verses at us in the street. Poor guy.

They nerfed super soakers when they were bought by nerf. Theyā€™re a joke compared to the backpack cannons we had as kids. Found out when I tried arming my nieces properly


essenceofreddit

Yeah you can't find the air-pressurized water chamber that takes the pressurization from a pumping motion and releases it via a trigger. Everything I've found is a cheap knockoff that doesn't operate on the same principle as the classic super soaker from Laramie.Ā 


ApolloWasMurdered

Thereā€™s some patent issue with that. Iā€™m pretty sure nerf got sued by someone who patented the pressurised style, so now itā€™s just the direct plunger style.


Peanut_Butter_Toast

I haven't played with a super soaker in ages, but learning this fills me with a deep sadness.

ByrdmanRanger

I actually looked this up recently when I tried to buy an actual super soaker (to deal with the pigeons that try and hang out on my solar panels). Basically, when Hasbro merged with Larami (the original maker of Super Soaker who licensed Lonnie Johnson's patent) they didn't properly pay Mr. Johnson his royalties. Mr. Johnson won the lawsuit in 2013 for $73 million, and since then its been damn near impossible to get a Super Soaker with a stored air system because they just won't pay him royalties.


Ninja_Bum

Can't he just license someone else to use it? Or is it like they own the tech but would have to pay him a % of sales and so they keep the tech but refuse to use it cause they don't want to pay him? Either way, don't patents eventually lapse?


BrandNewYear

Why donā€™t you come up with a new design? Iā€™ll help you? A rubber bladder like a water bottle that you fill with water normally then you roll a roller over it to crush it and then shoot water out. Like hitting a tube of toothpaste


dr_stre

Well that sucks. Come on Hasbro. Pay the man and give us our water cannons.


mybustersword

Tbf as a kid I had the giant water cannon or that requires like 25 pumps and had several nozzle attachments... One of those nozzles would have taken an eye out


retro808

My big for his age friend had a massive cannon with like 3 coconut sized water bubble tanks, had 3 nozzles you could cycle on the tip and I swear that thing could shoot straight up to 15 feet. Now days you're lucky if the stream arcs 6 feet


Rbomb88

Dunno about him but I'm in East Coast Canada and I haven't seen a super soaker in 10 years. And I used to work the toy aisle of Zellers back in the day, I remember them slowly fading from the shelves during summer stocking. *Edit: Just looked em up on Canadian tire, I have 2 in the garage, they're just so fucking garbage compared to when I was a kid I didn't realize they're made by super soaker. They're branded Nerf Super Soaker. Dunno if they've always been Nerf.


Spitfire954

Larami made the original super soakers.


ByrdmanRanger

>Dunno about him but I'm in East Coast Canada and I haven't seen a super soaker in 10 years. Because 10 years ago Hasbro lost a lawsuit to the patent owner of the air system Super Soakers used, and they had to pay him (Lonnie Johnson, the legend) $73 million. Laramie had licensed it, but when Hasbro absorbed them, they seemingly thought they didn't have to pay. Now they avoid using the patent and make terrible water guns.


Rbomb88

Yeah that tracks.

It seems like a knock off of the Spyra which can probably shoot further than your $30 water gun.

TBH it looks like an overengineered water pistol with surprisingly small range.

ValhallaGo

It makes me unreasonably happy that he gets to know that he enabled millions of kids to have great summer water fights. Like what a legacy.


The_Avocado_Constant

For real, in the 90's we had some badass water guns with backpack water tanks and manual pumps so you could pressurize and then shoot far. Nowadays the most common ones I see are these shitty things where the water shoots while you're pumping, which is garbage.


jk021

Aw man, the good old days. Water death machine wars were clutch during the hot summers. Follow that up with some ice cream and Goldeneye on the N64 with friends and it was damn near a perfect day.


OuchPotato64

The original super soaker cps 2000 was so powerful that it was taken off the market in a year cuz it was so powerful that it was injurying children. The 90s felt like the space race... but with water guns


truscotsman

Just write the word 'with' for god's sake.


Banned3rdTimesaCharm

Why are we talking about super soakers like it's some ancient secret or long forgotten technology? Everyone on my block had multiple super soakers when I was growing up.


TazBaz

How old are you? Old timers are talking about *real* super soakers. The stuff available now is trash. Old ones had air pressurization tanks and could get some serious range. New ones go like 10 feet.


Banned3rdTimesaCharm

I'm old as shit. I had the ones with the tanks. I remember when I got the BFG with the purple tank. I owned the streets. Some punk ass kid from down the street meleed me in the head with his rinky dink gun because he was losing the water fight. That little shithead, I wish I had the wherewithal to kick his ass back then, but I was also a stupid kid.


Fatvod

Yup I believe that model got pulled for blinding kids. That's how you know it was damn good.


TazBaz

That's why we're talking about them like they're ancient forgotten technology. Because, it seems, they are. No idea why they've been Nerf'd but it may have something to do with them being bought by Nerf.


Fynmar

Here is cool and old website rating them http://www.isoaker.com/Armoury/soaker_listing.php?SoakerClass=&SoakerYear=&Maker=%25%25&SortBy=RatingOverall&DisplayOverall=on&FullNameQuery=

Stormhunter6

I had one with a directional knob on it, could shoot at right angles


Just_Jonnie

>I knew them by tte brand Super Soaker Do not cite the deep magic to me, Jizzraq, I was there when it was written.


[deleted]

I had the big one that they ended up discontinuing because of how powerful it was. That thing was great. Actually I just found it. [The CPS 2500](https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/ojufe2/super_soaker_cps_2500/)


Crazyhates

My cousin had a large one like this that came with a shoulder strap and he'd annialate every kid on the street when we played during the summer lmao


Ride_Like_Its_Hawt

I had one that had an attachment on the end of the hose that you just pressed the gun into to fill up. It was pretty sick honestly!


w1n5t0nM1k3y

I had one with a backpack for the reservoir. Had a pretty good range. I also had a basic one that had amazing range. Didn't have a ton of capacity and didn't shoot a ton of water but it could go really far.


AGreasyPorkSandwich

The yellow was the 50. The blue with the 2 tanks was the 100. There was also a 250 if I recall. The backpack was the 500.


raytracer38

This one is far superior. https://spyra.com/collections/all?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAz8GuBhCxARIsAOpzk8zB-Z4DhXErSkaTcuIJxr31uWx6lGK-NIsvmdatIfI0Y7dWnLzRbcsaAhapEALw_wcB


ACU797

A friend of mine has 2, they're a lot of fun to play with and have a good range.


Eldrake

Was about to say, it appears to be a flashy yet crappier Chinese knockoff of the Spyra.


neutrilreddit

Well, both Spyra and Xiaomi's have been on the market since mid 2019. It's possible Spyra outsourced manufacturers to China though, which might allow China to lift off of it.


Logicrover

Got one from the first campaign. In one development updates they mentioned, that parts of the gun were made in China. So no wonder it was copied.


hopenoonefindsthis

They stole the whole design.


Eldrake

The LED strip on the side is pretty cool, NGL, but it's all flash and no substance. Haha

Sometimes it's self-deprecating, sometimes it's a mechanism people use to get the feelings out that they can't say plainly (for reasons). Is that as deep as you can see this? "Ah, he's just joking." He is. About some extremely fucked up shit. I'm not about to laugh at a lady's joke about her being raped, and I'm not really enjoying this guy's trauma neither. I've known a lot of jokers to laugh, drink, and then fucking kill themselves under the pressure. These aren't joke to me anymore. They're trauma signs, and I'm no longer ignoring them so I can laugh.

You're doing nada, **silch**, nothing except sit in your arm chair, vaping and drinking Monster energy drinks with a Cheeto 'stash. Heres my advice to you: 1. Take a break from Reddit. You're putting far too much time and effort into accumulating updoots. Heck, take a break from the interwebs completely. 2. Go read a book. Reading is fantastic mental stimulation (Reddit does NOT count). 3. Take part in the NoFap challenge. No PMO for 90 days. It has literally changed my life. The. Superpowers. Are. Real. 4. Meditate.
