    This does nothing for me! The whole point of the classic super soakers was that there was no pressure release valve, so you could pump it up as hard as you can and put some kid's eye out.

    using pond water always ended up giving my super soakers a rather premature death. hopefully the company figured out how to avoid that

    @discounteggroll: you mean like installing a filter to get the shit that clogged the first one up? now you're just complicating things.. be nice to your super soaker.. if you MUST use pond water strain it though a coffee filter in a funnel or something.. mean pond water using..

    @Skeetz:


    I was pretty young and would have gotten yelled at by my parents if I attempted to field strip my soaker.


    I grew up the type of kid who always wanted to (and at times did) take stuff apart, but never could get it back together. Flashlights were my specialty.

    OMG YES! :D

    SO getting one! When do they come out? What stores? MUST HAVE!


    Anyone else remember taking the bottle off and screwing in a water hose instead? Unlimited ammo + no more pumping required to pressurize! ....my first "hack".....ahhh....brings back memories.

    This is absolutely worthless to me.


    Why couldn't it come out last month when I had four cats to provide me with a steady supply of cat urine?

    Any volunteers to hold it steady?

    @BigDogues: Cat urine is one of the most indelible substances there is. If man had not domesticated the cat, there would be no upholsterers.

    um, if you cant take off the tank, then you loose about 12% of the fun of the first super soaker.

    @ryan_h:

    Until they get old at least... the ones I had like that, after a while, you'd pump it up to any half-decent pressure and the reservoir would pop off. I guess these ones might just have a safety valve or something instead...

    This is your father's SuperSoaker. A more elegant weapon for a more civilized age.
