My mate once Araldited some shower curtain rail to the end of one and made a rifle that would fire a Nerf dart quite a distance.

I had this one:

It was awesome - it even had a friggin' pressure gauge on the top to let you know when it was full, and 2 separate barrels with 4 differently shaped nozzles.

OMFG, I had that bad boy! I was the envy of all my friends! haha

Good times. I also had the SS 100.

Seeing that re-enacted with super soakers might be interesting.

I still have the one i bought for our last day of school, it was awesome! I remember the tank was massive and it could spray about 30 feet. It was called the Flash Flood because there was a button on the top which when push emptied the entire contents of the tank out in one fell swoop, it was like having a bucket of water thrown at you

Found a pic. Immense

Imagine a proper super soaker war where each side had differently coloured water.

>_>

I want one of the decent ones again.

My brother used to have one these:

...and as kids we'd all want to use it, so it got battered and eventually died...a sad day that was.

I had one of these too. It was great, good times

I'm pretty sure I still have that one kicking about somewhere, it leaked like anything though so I striped it and fixed it with epoxy and put a steel rod in the pump handle for strength!!

Some people take it very seriously - http://forums.sscentral.org/

Looks like it is the 20th aniversary of the supersoaker and they are re releasing the original design.
