UK version of RolandTower. With electronics!

Post by tgoacher » Sun May 02, 2010 10:04 pm

I've been impressed with Rolands water gun design and decided to make a version of it myself, but I'm attempting to improve the 'fire control' with the addition of some (waterproofed!) electronics. I'm completely new to this, and very willing to accept advice/criticism/abuse. I've started blogging it here.

Welcome to SSC!

This gun looks great. Do you know its flow rate and range?

Drenchenator: No, but the quote "A killer water gun very suited for water fights with its long shot time and high power" got my attemtion. Looking at the pictures though, I'd say that it beats any retail gun.
