    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

    @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.

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

    @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...

    So if any of you internet self-defense squad lethal force wannabes had even read the article, you'd know that he later got into a physical altercation with one of the kids, so both him and the kid are probably charged with plain old assault.

    Never did the TP thing but I did manage to enrage a neighbor by tying some thread to his doorknocker and knocking on his door a bunch of times from a remote location.


    Good times. :D

    I agree, he should have used something more hygenic- like bleach.

    @Greg Edwards: You can buy fox urine. I know hunters use it sometime to mask their own smell. A little bit goes a long way; the stuff stinks like you wouldn't believe. He probably diluted it with water, but I bet those kids probably still reeked. Seriously, that stuff is that potent.


    Side note: There is nothing unhygienic about it. It's sterile. It just stinks... really, really, bad.
