Build a homemade water gun or water balloon launcher and tell us about it.

I've lately been working on a homemade that is very similar to a PowerPak. Right now I'd have to say that it's around 90% done, the only thing needed to be done is to fix some leaks. Range I'd have to say is over 40 feet, probably at most 45.
The thing that makes this different than a PowerPak is that it has a pump and can be SuperCharged(using some gardening attachment) or filled normally. To fill it normally, you've got to pump like 100 times to pressurize it to a good level. The pump is there only to overpump it though; it's designed to be SuperCharged and then overpumped.
I'll be doing some more tests, expect pics eventually...

Here's a pic, I still need to test it. Doesn't look like that'll be anytime soon though, were getting snow tommorow!

I, for like the only time in my life, hope were not getting snow. I've been sick the past 3 days and I want to go to school to get my homework so I can catch up during the weekend. Although a 2 hour delay would be nice. :Hey, that's funny.:

BTW that homemade looks really good.

he named it "conan". I find that sad, but I won't tell him to peel it off or anythin.

You can pretty much ignore the times on that, I rarely ever have Xfire on when I play. I should, though.

Yeah, naming your guns does scare people sometimes. Thats wy I do it. The Super Soaker Arsenal even recomended doing that, as it will make you seem better than other people, adding intimidation. B)

you've got a point there. it doesn't really matter if you're outnumbered. if you've got the living XPBackfire-esque scared out of the other team, I'd say thats pretty much a guaranteed victory. unless you're scared worse.

Man, I forgot about this one when I started making a CPS one! I forgot to post that I think I finally got it to seal good enough. I can't test it due to weather and time, but I'll be sure to eventually. :) This is going to be a very very good homemade, due to it's ease of building, operation, and cost. It also has a 5X sized nozzle. :D

How soon can you post instructions? I'm getting ready now for the Water Warfare season...and that homemade looks like a great idea. ;)

Well, I would, but lately school has lterally stealing me off all my time to do it, and I need to test it. I'll take a pic of what it looks like now and upload it later, it's pretty easy to make, except for some of the stuff you can't see.

Btw, welcome to SSCentral. :D
