85 ft water paintball guns!

Post by martianshark » Sat Jan 01, 2011 1:45 am

Urban Taggers sure does find a lot of stuff. There seems to be a water gun simular to a paintball gun that shoots over eighty feet! Of course, it could be exxagerated, like how Stream Machines claim to shoot 70 feet.

If it works like a paintball gun does, then that's no exaggeration. On the other hand, they don't demand that people wear eye projection, so it's not going to shoot very far anyways.

Snag is I think it's going to shoot not a lot 85 feet. Whatever the projectiles are made of, they're fairly small to begin with and I suspect they may be "inefficient" at soaking the target. That's not a problem in one-hit-kills, but there's no guarantee your group will decide to allow them.

Everything that shoot 85 feet will hurt at 10 feet or less...So there is something wrong...

But it looks interesting^^ May I get one in course of time :)
A gunner has to do what his Soaker requires...
