There is. It depends on the type of soaker you're planning on using it on. Here it is. Also, you could of found this if you checked the website. Do it in the future before you make a topic. B)

I already saw that nozzle selector on the site, I meant the kind that has a turning thingy with a bunch of nozzles like on the CPS 2500 or XP 310. :mellow:

There isn't a nozzle selector like that. Well, not of my knowledge. Creating a rotating nozzle selector would probably take a lot of time to create. If you want to create one you're going to have to design and make it yourself.

What would likely be more worthwhile is an "iris" type aperture nozzle, similar to the aperture ring in many cameras. Apparently you can buy these types of rings in some hardware stores. I am wondering whether or not they will leak on smaller nozzles or if they will form a stream correctly.

Normal style nozzle selectors are possible, though they'd be hard to make. There was a homemade Nerf barrel selector, and I will find you the link in a short time. I can not remember the URL right now, but it did let you switch barrels for a Nerf gun rather quickly and it could easily be modified as a water gun nozzle.

I think this is the turret that Doom was talking about. You could put nozzles at the end of each barrel.

^ Yes, I was thinking of one exactly like that. Thanks very much for the link! All you would have to do in order to turn that into a water gun nozzle selector is add a few endcaps with holes drilled out on the end of each barrel.
