$30 is a day's wage for many people here..

How's the water gun coming along? Any progress or problems?

Well, I'm afraid the project is on the back burner for the moment.. just moved to a new house, and I'm running out of cash faster than I thought. I did make a small plunger-type watergun from bits and pieces found around the house though.. it's not very spectacular, I'm afraid. I guess a cheap-ish store-bought gun will have to do for Songkran this year..

Though I'm still hoping I can find some cash somewhere. (Note to self: go look under the couch cushions). I still got a week left, so who knows..

Any suggestions for a low-budget gun that's still fun?

If you have access to a hose (and the right parts - some of these may be obscure), you could build the 2 liter homemade or some variant of it. It's a single-shot device that fills directly from the hose.

If other people could pitch in with money, you could build a 2-liter homemade for each person and perhaps a single filler device.

I'm sorry to hear things didn't go according to plan. But there's a water festival every year, so who knows what will happen next time?
