Banzai Twin Barrel Water Blaster

Post by Kimura » Mon Mar 15, 2010 11:00 pm

Anyway heard of or used this gun? It seems to be a pump action gun that fires alternately out of two barrels, and fires no matter which way you are pumping.

A commercial for it.

The gun looks cool as hell, and the concept is neat as far as piston guns go.

LOL never heard of it. I'm curious to how the streams look like nearly 5x. Interesting commercial nonetheless.

I'd be interested in it just because of the novelty of how it works and it looks cool.

I got it for the lulz, and it is AWFUL. The concept looks great when put on paper, but it is executed poorly. Oh, and the stream is maybe 2x, but definately not more than that.
First, the grip is very slippery when wet.
Second, the gun is very hard to pump when you attempt to do the reverse stroke.
Third, the tank is small and doesn't hold very many shots.
Finally, the gun is a bright red, which really is bad for trying to hide.
Even if they had just put a decent grip on the pump, then it would be twice as good as it is now. I would not spend money on it, unless it is going for less then $5.

I saw the commercial on TV, and it does look cool. But apparently it isn't very good.

Don't buy from Banzai (hey, that rymes). They don't make very good water guns and almost all of them are bad piston guns.

Too bad an awesome gun like this doesn't actually exist.

What about this thing? I can't figure out if it's pressurized or piston? Don't see any info on it.

Banzai, if nothing else, makes some slick looking water guns.

Agreed.
Looking at the Monsoon (and it's reviews) it is pressurized. the trigger looks genuine, and the reviews say that you have to "pump it for it to work", there is also a special nozzle, which sounds like a flood-type nozzle. I am looking into this.
found this looks like the CPS 1-3-5. if it performs similarly, I probably will get it.

I already got the monsoon, and it is even worse then the Twin Barrel Blaster.
It has a .5x nozzle for the small one, and the riot blast only goes 10 feet or so at the maximum. (This is an optimistic estimate.)
The pump is one that swings down and forward to pump, and the back to the gun.
It was so bad we couldn't even use it against a ss naboo pistol and win.
Banzai makes awful water guns, and I will never buy from them again.

This seems to have turned into the Banzai thread. Does anyone know if this is any good?

Probably not...

Yeah it has, lol. There are reviews on Amazon for that gun, and at Target.com...apparently it's junk.
