Make Your Own Super Soaker

Post by Tom O'Leary » Thu Jan 11, 2007 4:53 pm

Found this today. I was reading one of your discussions about Hasbro's reluctance to release new, different models. Well, now you can make your own - even one that has a range of 100 yards.

Uh, thanks for posting the link, but the irony is that that page ends up pointing back towards SSCentral. :p

By the way, welcome to SSCentral! The 100 yd range water balloon launcher is not classifiable as a Super Soaker-type device, IMO, as it is firing a projectile as opposed to simply water.

:cool:

Yup, iSoaker pretty much summed it up. But I have seen the link before, plus a link to Soaker Media's Douchenator water balloon launcher, Nerf homemades, and a ton of bottle rockets. Welcome aboard!

A little ironic indeed. Besides, it's possible to build cannons that will fire water balloons over 300 yards if you want.
