pressure gauges
do you think pressure gauges help on water guns? I want to hear what you guys think.
I don't care if it has one or not.

I think with most soakers people can feel the resistance in pumping or the check valve releasing and quite accurately estimate when they are at full pressure.
If your dealing with high and potentially dangerous pressure as found in some water balloon launcher's then I think a pressure gauge is a good idea to accurately tell you if you go over the limit.

That's because you shouldn't use l.ol in the first place. Complete sentances, proper grammar, don't complain about it.
Pressure gauges can be useful to tell how much of your shot you have left, and when your reservoir runs out, how much you have to defend yourself with before you have to refill. I like them, but I could do without them.

I find mine usefull for the large CPS 3000 becuase you don't know your overpressurizing until you hear a loud screech of the chamber going past the limit...

Pressure gauges are useful if the gauge is analog and open pc. Meaning that it is not electronic and that you can see the mark on the pc, such as in cylindrical pc guns. They are not necessary in most guns, however, because once you are at full pressure, you should never get below half pressure if you know how to tap/pump.

Yes, if anything, I would hate having to hold one of those soakers that has an electronic pressure gauge switch right behind the grip. I've heard that is very uncomfortable...
My CPS 4100 has a gauge of sorts, just like Duxburian said. The closing fitting for the PC has another part that is the width of the PC enclosure, and there's a slot along the side of the gun that runs alongside the closing fitting as it expands. It's not obvious, but it's definitely good enough.
And then you have the faulty (at least for me) analog pressure gauge on the Argon...that thing annoys me so much!
