We're looking especially to see if manufacturer claims prove accurate in the real world, so if a product is advertised on its ability to fire water jets far, but in reality they go just a few meters, we'll tell you. During the development process, Johnson designed and engineered several prototype improvements to make the gun more manufacturable. It was during this time that he decided to incorporate a blow-molded bottle on the gun as a pressure vessel. The standard process in the toy industry is to use injection molding toy components in two (2) halves and then glue them together. This approach was too unreliable for use in constructing pressure vessels. Johnson’s use of a blow-molded bottle as a pressure vessel for the gun was the single most important innovation that made low cost, mass production of the gun possible. By way of context, your average water pistol can shoot a distance of 5 to 40 feet. The vast majority tend to fall around the mid-30s, and the bare minimum range we'd recommend is 10 feet unless you're opting for power (as is the case with the Super Soaker Soakzooka) or sheer soaking capability. How much does the most powerful water gun cost? More premium options offer an even stronger performance. We've yet to go hands-on with it, but the SpyraTwo has been making waves in recent years (quite literally). Indeed, the company claims that it is the "world's strongest water gun". This is thanks to an electric pump that fires pellets of water rather than the usual stream. Which water gun shoots the farthest?

Although Temi boasts the smallest water capacity of all units tested, you can dump that capacity in under 2 seconds, resulting in a soak factor just shy of 300. The second place unit, a Super Soaker model, came in with a soak factor of 107. Unlike its motorized predecessors, Johnson developed a gun that relied on air pressure and arm pumping for pressurizing the firing chamber. The end result was a water blaster capable of delivering more water farther and faster than any other water gun on the market. The brand name, Super Soaker®, was introduced nation-wide in 1991 through a series of TV-advertisements. Still, the CPS 3000 for the heavier blaster user who wants to cause mayhem is ideal and hits pretty much every essential thing right. It retains simplicity of being easy to use and providing conservation and heavy soakage options with great power and range. If you want to be big, fat and intimidating and look like a fireman this is a great soaker for it. They are however a lot of money, however if you find one for a good price buy it, since it is a worthy blaster to buy nowadays. Using the CPS 3000 All users whether using CPS or air pressure blasters take advantage of the 3000’s weight at the start and amount of time it takes to pump while you still can. Power: Typically measured in distance or PSI, a water gun’s power will play an enormous role in its overall performance and user experience. Not only is this area responsible for how far a water gun can shoot, but it will also play a massive role in determining a given model’s accuracy — especially from a distance.While Super Soaker made its debut in 1991, improvements to the design and other aspects of water blaster technology did not stop then. Since its first release, numerous new developments technologies have been added to the Super Soaker brand name. Water blaster models released in 1991: Super Soaker 30, Super Soaker 50, Super Soaker 100 1992 If you're looking for the best water gun that balances price with power, the Super Soaker Hydra is a front-runner with few rivals. Thanks to a handle pump that unleashes a deluge of water, it'll completely drench opponents in no time at all. Although it'll get through its 65 fl oz (1.9L) tank faster than you'd expect, there aren't many alternatives within the same price range that can challenge it. In 1992, Larami Ltd. marketed several varieties of water guns based on the pressurized reservoir and separate pressurized firing chamber models. Water blaster models released in 1992: Super Soaker 20, Super Soaker 25, Super Soaker 40, Super Soaker S.E., Super Soaker 200 1993 In terms of power, range and soakage with practicality you can take on pretty much anything. However watch out for lighter blaster users as they can take advantage of your weight when full. As you deplete water the 3000 becomes more deadly and into the groove. Against the CPS 3000

Size: As previously mentioned, modern water guns come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes, with the larger options on the market almost always boasting more power and range — albeit at the cost of portability and child-friendliness. During testing we rate Super Soakers and other water-spewing weaponry on build quality, water capacity, features and range, which we feel are the most important elements to a good water gun. Team Magnus Incog Water Guns 1,200cc: This gun had one of my favorite looks. It holds a lot of water because it's basically all capacity and no fluff. It doesn't shoot very far in comparison to our other tested units, but it'll keep you in the game for a while, taking about 1 minute, 15 seconds to empty -- even constantly shooting.As the blasters continued to get larger and carry more water, there was no significant increase in output due to the limitations of the pressurized water system and safety concerns. However, in 1996, the CPS 2000 (Constant Pressure System) was unleashed, once again changing the face of the water war field.
