CamelCamelCamel.
I have the bigger model and they are trash. Wouldn't waste money on these. The xshots are probably better or get one of those foam single shot water blasters. These slip in your hand and probably need more strength to use then the demographic it was designed for.
We came across the bigger model at the beach. Big mistake for whoever it belonged to. Was totally jammed from sand. Looked brand new too.

this is a good water gun.. you do need a bucket or whatever to fill it up

these are so much more fun.
The shotgun style just unloads in one go and your are forever filling the bucket/ bowl / sink
I remember growing up with the yellow and green super soakers that had the pressurized tanks.
Yea. Nerf got screwed over on that. I've really missed those pump pressure blasters.
is this why i can't find them? What happened?
From recollection, NERF bought the name Super Soaker, but it was name only and not the patent to the actual product
I think that was what happened. Been so long.

It mentions fear of litigation / safety concerns and OG team disbanding.

The Super Soaker brand was originally created by Larami Ltd who produced the product based on the design and patents of Lonnie Johnson, in 2002 Larami Ltd merged with Hasbro and thus the rights to the Super Soaker brand name, however a lawsuit settled in 2013 with Johnson winning ~$73 Million in compensation for unpaid royalties between 2007 -2012 from Hasbro this included the air powered water guns Johnson had a patent on. Since then Hasbro has been tentative about using any stored air powered system (the recent mediator barrel being the only exception). While Hasbro still owns the Super Soaker name and does continue producing water guns the products in this line are certainly not the type of Super Soakers that many will remember from the late 80's to early 00's.
The whole history of Super Soaker can be found on isoaker if you're interested.
OOS
Anyone used one and know if they are any good?
