I'm done.
I am done with soakers for now. There is nobody to have wars with around here, kids just pump and run at you leeroy jenkins style. Rather boring.
Maybe I will return sometime in the summer. Currently, I am still interested in water balloon launchers. I have a launcher I am making which uses a sort of curled up pressure chamber made from 3" pipe.
PS: I am not sure if this is the right topic to put this in.

I don't check this forum anymore.

It's disappointing when kids just run at you.
Unfortunately it can be hard to dissuade this tactic, at least without running the risk of dissuading them completely.
Just dumping high output on them is likely to just encourage this.
Presumably they won't follow any system of honour with regards to 1HK. The charge tactic would be rendered useless here, but as I said - they won't agree.

I sympathise, Racer. I sadly don't have many wars - should that be any? - and that can cause some rather anti-soaker feelings.
All I can say is: don't dump your soakers - hope for better times ahead! Things might change in the summer. Maybe not to the extent that you end up having Waterbridge-style wars, but enough to provide a fun experience.

Good point. It's true, it happens to everyone as they mature or get bored of water guns. I wouldn't call myself a soaker enthusiast anymore but I still like it. It's fun.Duxburian wrote:This happens to everyone at one point or another.
Of course, unfortunately my community was never incredibly interested in soakers...

Well, water balloon launchers can be used for other things after water war enthusiasm dies down - target shooting or other things like this.
And at this point I say: water guns should not be used for other things.
But don't get rid of your stuff! Often you'll want it again someday. If you must get rid of some stuff, keep a couple back to use in later life.
