Never took a look at this, but my formula is a lot simpler. I'm not even sure if what was posted is correct.

O - output in mL/s
D - diameter of nozzle is mm

speed in m/s = 4*O / pi*D^2

Really easy to remember and every result it has given me appears correct.

I think this forumula will be installed in our review system in the future to automatically give approximate initial speed for water guns based upon the statistics available.

Do not send me a PM or email with a water gun question if someone else could answer the question. Post at the forums. You will get a response from me along with others' views or ideas.
