I still have the red version of the one at the top. I forget which model number it is, but it had twin tanks.

The top image is the one I had. Not sure if I still have it though.

I was looking for these a few weeks back. Toys'r'us was a disappointment

I had the one in the top image as well, I think it was about £10 back in the day, pocket money well spent!

I had the SS 500 - Little larger than the one in OP and had a smaller high pressure tank on the back. Awesome fun.

Dropped too many times though, it now leaks.

It fired 1 pint of water in a second and my dad used it to shoot the unused birds nest down from our roof :p

I had this too was awesome. Mine also started leaking from the join of the back pressure tank to the main body.

Anyone remember the trick of filling-pumping-refilling to get more water in them?

SourChipmunk · 19 Apr 2009 at 14:16

H2O fire extinguisher was my weapon of choice if the garden hose wasn't available.

Zefan · 19 Apr 2009 at 14:16

Yep I remember that Kreeeee, when I lived in Cyprus we used to use them in the sea and just open the tanks up. Unlimited ammo :cool:

The ones we had there had back mounted tanks too, that was awesome.
