Portable water balloon filler

Post by DX » Tue Aug 31, 2004 9:46 pm

Nibordude and I discovered today that the max-d 5000 can be used to fill water balloons! Just slip the balloon over the nozzle, shoot the gun, and pump while you hold the balloon. It then inflates with water. You can get around 5 balloons per tank and can use it anywhere. This is an amazing method if you are not near a hose, but need some water balloons. Try it out! B)

Another way is taking a gatorade bottle and taking the green twist top part off but keeping the orange part of the cap.It works like the 2L homemade. Using water bottles with the pop up caps works also.

at one point, after my MD-6000 broke, I used the resevoir to fill water balloons. It may be a little impractical, though. And those with small lungs shouldn't try it either.

Dux and I revised it and its more like 4 balloons a tank. were going to use it in battle tomorrow against WaterBridge. The first WB vs. CFM war.

You can do that with most any gun, I think. I did it with my Monster X.

Water bottles work

Put them in a smal backpack. Water bottles work very good when one is in hiding.

How would that work? Do you just put the balloon over the bottle and squeeze?
I just had the greatest idea ever! You buy one of those little ball pumps that they sell in the kiddie aisle, right? Then you cut it in half, get a PVC tee-thing that fits over it, and somehow attach that to the bottle, probably using a threaded female thing. Then you can fill balloons with it. PLus you would need a check valve somewhere.

You can use an open water bottle, (It always works for me.) The squeeze dont work though.
