There's literally loads of patents for unknown water guns, especially Super Soaker/Larami ones. iSoaker.com appears to be unavailable for the moment (at least for myself), though I am fairly sure that there is at least a gun similar to this one.

Some will remember the auto-pump gun I found in the patents back in 2002. Seems like a long time ago now that I think about it...

It seems you have the SS20. The SS10 has the pump on the handle.

SS 20 this is apparantely an SS 20, and it isn't that, it is exactly as shown in the picture on the U.S. patent site.

According to this there are 2 SS20s.

Seems a pretty rare gun. How well does it perform, incidentally?

It's broken at the moment, but as far as I can remember it was pretty poor compared to most other super soaker guns (as can be expected) however was far better than the squirt guns of the time.

It looks real, but it just doesn't have the sticker.
Soak, or be soaked that is the question!
