Can anyone advise on a good waterpistol.
Last time I had one was a supersoaker 500.

It's going to be a stag do event two teams for a good laugh - been paintballing too much this year and this sounds pain free and a bit of a laugh.

I'm buying just my own so want the best I can get (note it will likely to be used once so don't want to spend silly money cheap is good but I want it to be a good gun else I'll be getting te soaking while giving little in response).

Ideas welcome.
Also I'm thinking buying a used one might be false economy as the deals perish so I'll be losing water as other give me the pimp action from behind as I'm refilling.

The super soakers today are nothing compared to the ones of the 90s. Far to weak these days.

Two of these, and do slow motion jumps everywhere going "NOOOOOOOOO!"

So of the old range would the Supersoaker500 be the one to go for on eBay? Am just concerned it will be fubar as its what up to 20 years old....

Really? frown

I had a huge one when I was about 15. Could properly drench people with it.

This.

The old Larami-branded Super Soakers are what you want, before Hasbro branding. Go and look up the CPS2000 to see what I mean, they were proper pieces of kit. You might find a CPS1500 or something, but to be honest they've got to be hard to get hold of by now.

I had one of those pump action backpack jobs, it was like the outflow from a dam when you used it. Nothing could touch it for range or soaking capacity. Try one of them.

I feel like I've missed out in life. I've never owned a decent water pistol.

Any of the CPS, XP, XL and Monster ranges are very good. Of course you could always mod them, or any other water gun to increase the pressure. K-mod and balloon mods are quite popular.

Could try googling 'super soaker central'.

I used to have a CPS 3000:



Bloody mental thing, would soak someone to the bone with just one squirt.

You have missed out.

Nerf do a range of water pistols . Should be a available on amazon .

Too many water pistols are just no make cheap tat . When we sold them there was a high failure rate . Not only with the cheap ones .
