I always wanted the one with the backpack to hold extra water - I only ever had one of the cheap ones, not a proper supersoaker

I'm actually tempted to buy one , could never afford one when I was little

Streeteh thats the exact same one i've got, one hell of a gun

still got it somewhere

There was another toy we had as kids, at the time it was called a Water Cannon. It was basically a huge syringe, you pull the handle back to draw water into it, then push forward to shoot the water. It held about 2 litres of water, also. Pretty neat.

What ever happened to them?

I used to see them advertised on the TV all the time...

People realised that UK summers have too much rain and are not hot enough to make it proper fun

I still have a minature version of that first photo, about 3" long and has surprisingly good range.

I used to have one with this large 1L or 1.5L blue tank on, the seal broke on it though :\ :mad:

Looks pretty ghetto.

I use to love water-guns as a kid. Had the super soaker 50 then got a really sweet one that allowed you to change the output (concentrated, spray, double-barrelled and so on). I remember having a **** in it and shooting some random kids in the park. God I was such a ******* when I was younger.

I used to have the red Super Soaker pistol, my brother used to have the yellow one in the OP.

Oh, nostalgia trip!

Thought the police were going to be issued with these to disperse large crowds, as apparently everyones **** scared of em.

I had this one or at least the same design:

Could never beat a load of water balloons though.

I loved water fights as a kid. Hell, I'd have one now.

martin9887 · 19 Apr 2009 at 16:38

I had this one, think I also had the model up as well, the CPS 2000.

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

Me and my friends used to do this, good trick
