Hey guys,
We are students of the university of michigan, and as a part of our project we need to improve and analyze the functions of a water gun. To identify the problems of water gun and areas of improvement, we have prepared this survey and I request all you guys to please take this survey and help us.

The survey missed another crucial water gun metric: flow rate. It mentioned distance because didn't mention flow rate. From my experience, most people want a flow rate of between 2 to 15 oz/s, with about 5 to 7 being ideal for the most general use of a water gun.

What kind of class are you doing this for? I'm in an engineering design class right now, and I have to analyze and improve a hand-held jig saw. Your project seems similar in purpose to mine.
