do you realize that today's kids don't have the sweet Super Soakers we did? most of them are "pump to fire" and only a couple even do the pressure tank any more. definitely no fuckin' backpack blasters.

My friend had the CPS2000 which was the insanely powerful one, that thing hit like a goddamn fire hose. Surprised no kid ever lost an eye or something due to getting blasted in the face with one.



e: apparently it's still the most powerful toy water gun ever made lol

The goodwills/thrift stores by me are constantly infested by people going item-by-item scanning on eBay/Amazon, so I can only dream of such a find.

I think the number I looked up while researching it was something like 0.8 liters per trigger pull. The recoil on it staggered my 5 year old.

There were about a dozen of us in elementary school that had these. We had a massive water battle at a friend's house incorporating them, water balloons, and various lesser Super Soakers. We must have used a swimming pool's worth of water that day, easily.

Unfortunately we ended up destroying his parent's landscaping between trampling on it, hiding in bushes, and spraying flower beds with the equivalent of a high pressure wash. I knocked over a lawn jockey with an errant blast, cracked it in half, and propped it up with rocks to try and hide the damage.

We were never invited over again. Still one of the fondest memories of my childhood.

We were having super soaker battle when two kids rounded a blind corner from opposite directions. A plastic nozzle caught one kid in the skull and basically split the skin over his dome open it was metal as gently caress.

I never got that super-soaker. Wished that I had, a couple of them existed at my school, but I don't remember who had them.

They are still around, and it's still a huge organization with tons of performers, but I think they were more of a culturally visible force in the 90s and early 00s, when they were on late night talk shows and intel commercials. Now the reaction is usually "wait, they're still around?" or "wait, they have albums??"
