Super Soaking Your Victims
Granted, if you wanted your victims to feel any degree of your watery wrath, they basically had to be within arm's reach of you. We could have just spit at each other. At least we wouldn't run out of ammunition so quickly. Plus we would get better distance.

I had this exact Super Soaker XP 105 model with double bubble water reservoir and a water bottle size tank... crank this baby up to 105 pumps as that's what we all knew the model number stood for.. Yep.. 105 if you're stringy arms could hold that much pressure and withstand the 2 and a half minutes of pumping to 105 counting slowly to make sure you could ramp the pressure up. Do it too fast and you'll allow air to escape and have to start over. Pretty much we usually only got to 50 because we were kids and we had wars to get to. Super Soaker war, anywhere but in the house. All of us would take our Soakers to the Boys and Girls club. It wasn't school so they couldn't really go against it.. so they'd take 30 to 50 of us to parks down the street so we can go buck wild with water balloon fights. The cool ones had the Super Soakers, mostly 50's or 75's and we came prepared. The less fortunate guys would have their tiny palm size pink water pistol snug in their mouth pulling the trigger and drinking the water. Yep, they must have been thirsty.. but now as an adult it could have been mimicking a cry for help and putting them out of their non-Super-Soaker-having misery... because not even those pink pistols with their cheapo plug would hold water as it dripped down their elbows.

Just don't use it on your parents. They may not think it was as funny as you.

I still have one old super soaker gun at my parents house somewhere. I should hunt for it to see if it works.

I have a feeling these babies will become collector's items. I can foresee another 10 or so years down the road, these being pretty expensive (especially still sealed in the package). Maybe I should buy some now?

Awesome. I was just thinking about Super Soakers last week and how the neighborhood kids should have some. Apparently the new models take batteries now??? WTH is that! I'll have to go to the store and look at them in person to see if there are any good ones. And I agree, the 50 and 100 still look the best.

VAPORMAN87: Seriously, some of those had streams powerful enough to do that! I was almost BEGGING my dad to let me wash his car. And it's a shame that they are today focusing far more on appearances than functionality. I personally see nothing wrong with the "classic" style; even by 2014 standards it still looks pretty awesome.
VKIMO: Thank you! I bet the dogs enjoy it too! You can play AND hydrate them all at once!

I need a few of those Laramis to wash my truck with. lol

Fun article! I picked up a classic Larami 100 about a year ago. More than 20 years old but works great. I just use it to play with the dogs now.

Having 3 young kids, I can tell you firsthand that these new water guns can be so overly complicated it reaches frustration levels. Not to mention it seems like the manufacturers are going more for style and aesthetics than functionality and practicality.
Why would you manufacture a water gun so massive it requires two hands, only to make the water reservoir a tiny clip that holds less liquid than a Capri Sun package? I don't get it.
Still, there are some newer soakers out there that are advanced AND practical AND extremely cool. But I just don't see them ever being as good as those described here.
Thanks Mike!
