Waterball

Also my brother got a WaterBall on our trip and it's the biggest dissapointment I've ever seen, is there ANY mod at all to help make it better cause this gun shoots as far as a Dollar store pistol...

It's a peice of garbage, there is no mod to help. Can it even be considered a gun?

I've never used one, but from what I hear, they work on a spring mechanism that moves at a specifice speed so as to be able to project a near-perfect ball of water. Tampering with that would probably ruin it. Just enjoy the novelty of it...it's not a gun for battling. B)

Well said spinner. I would suggest getting a better gun anyway, a gun that bad I wouldn't even consider modding. If you weren't going to use it anyway you could try some experimental mods. If it works like spinner said then take pics before you mod it (in case you screw up when modding) and replace the spring with a more powerful one. That is the only mod I can think of from what spinner said.

I owned one of these for about 2 hours - after that I returned it for an SC 600. The range and output is pathetic. It may just be that I got a defective one, but mine fired this rather puny shotgun spray. The size of the "balls" didn't even come close to what was pictured and advertised. I think this gun falls well below the "novelty" classification.

My younger brother (bother) has one I really stinks, we all thought he got a defect too. On the box it says shoots over 40 feet and the one my bro has shoots 4. I doubt the company making those guns has made any profit.

The problem is I bought the gun from away and now I can't return it... >_< Man it sucks.

yeah, it does. At least you saved me the misery of buying and using one!

Thats what I made this post for... To tell you all DON'T BUY IT.... Unless you have lots of cash to blow away on junk

I myself think it's pretty neat to watch a ball of water fly through the air. Mine only gets the shotgun-like effect when I rapid-fire. Also, if you follow isoaker's instructions and tilt it 30 degrees, it does shoot 20 feet.

I think the idea of a water ball flying in the air is cool too, but then it's really easy to dodge the shots. With a nice streem you can move the water where you want it to go as it's shooting.
20 feet is ok for something that is a gimmick. I wouldn't buy one if I had the chance.

Actulally, my brother bought it for me since he had a ton of cash

if someone could figure out how one works and make the range A LOT better then it would in a way be the first water grenade launcher... or course it could be considered a grenade launcher now but it is just a pitifully weak grenade launcher

A water grenade launcher would be a wbl

Not technically. USSA is thinking of a unconceled water ball. Like the waterball launchers. Also, these operate completely different from a WBL. No air pressure. However, I do think a WBL can be considered a water granade launcher. But a waterball not concidered a WBL.
