UserID: 1049 | This might be 50 feet + and $40 budget, It would have also to be a recent, (new to 6 years) old. Preferably lightweight, heavy weight is not good since I have a short Sniper. The tank doesn't matter.

UserID: 809 | You might be able to build a light-medium sniping water balloon launcher for about that price, but if you're "sniping" with a blaster, good luck... Well, for long range blasters, go for homemades or k-modded guns. CPS 2100's are very popular for the k-mod. I believe you can get up to 55ft or so, and anything over 60ft-65ft is probably water launching cannon range. (up to 70ft or so) Edit: Nevermind, DX is right on his.

UserID: 75 | 50ft shooters: [stock] CPS 2000, CPS 1500, CPS 2500, CPS 2700, SS 300, etc. Range will vary, two 1500s could look the same, but one might hit 48 and one might only make 42. A bad 2000 might get 47, but a good 2000 might get as much as 58. 50-65ft shooters: [Modded] Regular Colossus: CPS 2000c, 2500c, 4100c, etc. Regular k-mod: CPS 15K, 17K, 21K, 10K, 12K, 27K, etc. Integration and/or Int+K mod: Lots of them, example - CPS 15K/1000 Most homemades can shoot over 50ft, most water cannons can shoot over 60ft, some over 70ft with no known limit, and obviously water balloon launchers with hundreds.

UserID: 1020 | I am not sure about a sniper rifle but these weapons rack up the best distances compared to any existing water gun or ballon launcher. I just found the most expensive and pratical ultimate water weapons of all time. Regardless from being "home-mades" they are worth the price. At $225 each plus shipping, paint and design you can buy one on e-bay, if you contact the seller. For the first one it can fire water ballons (one or multiple) over 500ft, and water at a good distance probably 60ft. 1. Water ballon bazooka ![]() For this one called the water ballon motar, it costs around $245, but it fires over 700FT and it has a detonator button. You can fire single or multiple ballons at will. Put them in and snipe people at great distances. 2. Water ballon mortar ![]()

UserID: 75 | $225 and $245? Ewwww.... I'd much rather build one from scratch. A design like Falcon's recent launcher has similar practicality at like half the cost. 700ft isn't anything special either. Water balloon launcher ranges can exceed 800ft, even in the most basic Douchenator, so I don't know why you'd need to buy one for a ridiculous price. The seller charges for the design too? At least the first one is original - the second is just a standard over-under with a bipod. You could make something like that for $50.

UserID: 1020 | Oh I didn't know, thats what the seller told me. I guess he was trying to rip me off. Is there one that actually fires over 800ft? I was wondering if you can give me the link to the weapon your were describing. I want to see what it looks like, and where would I get the parts to build the $50 one? Also I would like to know would the one that shoots 800ft be as accurate as this one and not have a slingshot, since I am not fond of slingshots (pulling it back and releasing it on the run or stationary) but with mobile air pressurized water balloon launchers. Thanks.

UserID: 576 | Pneumatic is the way to go. The Douchenator is extremely easy to build, and ranges depend on the volume of the PC, length of the barrel, and the type of barrel you use. Expect hundreds of feet. It's hard to predict ranges though, and who knows what pressure and how much pumping is necessary to get whatever is advertised for those two guns. Also, consider the issue that you're not going to notice the difference in ranges unless you compare them. I really can't see the point of a WBL hitting any more than 200 feet. There are far more efficient designs that use sprinkler valves, piston valves, etc. None have passable accuracy. The Douchenator or whatever homemade launcher you build is bound to be cheap - perhaps under $25. You also don't need too many tools. The real expense lies in sprinkler valves ($10-15?), compressors, batteries, or whatever other accessories you want.

UserID: 1020 | The reason I want to shoot as close to 1000 feet as possible is becuase if you plant remote devices at a known location, calculated the approximate landing places, walked away far enough to be unseen, and set your position where you can see your targets moving using binoculars/high-powered scopes- it would be amusing to see your targets get confused as they are constantly bombardeded and ballons are firing at them from nowhere. I would stationary 15-20 of these on the perimeter of a large circle all firing close to the center, or in a line and calculate the parabolic trajectory when spotted the target using a bino. (If there was one that could shoot 3000 feet I would be interested too) Well, I'll show you the advertisement, as the link to e-bay may expire. By the way it uses batteries to pump by itself and it uses the pressure guage to notify you its psi.............. anyways.... Quote:
I highly doubt this gun would be what it is advertised, so I'll find parts for the douchenator...but I still have one question. How will you pump it? I don't want to manually pump it, but use batteries other means to automatically pump it (mobilely)

UserID: 75 | The problem is, using water balloon launchers to hit a target remotely would be extremely difficult. Not only that, but actually hitting a moving person like that would be nearly impossible. Upon the sound of an enemy launcher opening up, it is instinctive to seek cover. When you are used to being shot at by concealed artillery, quickly sprinting out of the area or crouching behind cover is only one step in very fast and effective anti-artillery defenses. Accuracy at over 300ft also cannot be guarenteed. The slightest change in pressure, firing speed, angle, wind, etc. will throw you off the mark. The longer the distance, the greater the effect. Just about any pneumatic launcher ever created has the potential to reach 800ft or more. You just need enough pressure, efficiency, a good valve, and a good sabot. A modified sprinkler valve or something like it would be ideal, coupled with an air compressor and either a pringles can or your own custom cup-thingy for the sabot/wadding. That air compressor replaces manual pumping, though quality and price varies from compressor to compressor - I'd do some research before buying one. Quote:

This seller knows a lot, but there are things he doesn't know that he should. You can't claim non-liability and then say that your launcher can shoot water. You know what happens when you load a ton of water in a launcher barrel, pump it to high pressure, then attempt to fire it? The impact of the air against the water may force the barrel to rocket off, even one that is well glued. It doesn't even have to be water, it can be anything. I almost got hurt in Chatham last summer because some friends wanted to see how high up 120 PSI could shoot a barrel full of rocks. Well, the barrel flew up, fell back, and the bottom shattered. Things like that may cause serious injury from what is normally a quite safe device. Buying plans for any launcher is a rip-off, since this community and its members offer all our advice and designs for free naturally. @Johnyshotgun: That's totally off topic, but a CPS 1000 can be worth $10-45 depending on if you are a seller, typical buyer, or bargain hunter.
