Pool War
Has anybody here ever had a water war in a pool? i mean it sounds cool cause theres infinite ammo and stuff but whats the point if in a pool you are already wet? i guess the gun does shoot with more power than if you were to just splash around tho.

Pool wars are pointless unless you have quite a large sized pool. And even then, the only blasters you can use are "pool pumpers", which are bare-bones piston-based soakers that you dip the nozzle into the pool and fill it like a syringe, and shoot it by pushing the two parts of the soaker back together. Every other kind of water gun will get damaged and eventually become broken over time if used in the pool. If I were you, I'd stick to splashing

A war around a pool might work better, and, chlorine issue aside (I believe it's not a problem for non-CPS guns, but I'm not sure how chlorine reacts with various metals used in the gun), it'd allow for a quicker method of refilling, plus you can push people in. As for wars inside pools, it seems to be kind of pointless, as hits aren't much when you have goggles on and/or are already wet.

It doesn't matter if your pool changes chlorine...pool water is always going to hurt the internals of your soaker. Salt water (which is what my pool uses) will also damage soaker internals because of the salt. I'm not saying don't, just be warned that eventually your gun probably won't work if used in the pool too much

I don't know anything about revacil but probably if you are not in the pool for a long period of time, and if afterward you rinse it out with tap water, etc., it would be fine. also this is a question to the other people on this thread who know their stuff: would it be fine if I rinsed it out with tap water afterward?

Rinsing out with water sounds like it would work, as long as the pool fight isn't too long (i'd suggest up to an hour and a half to two hours) and the blasters aren't left in the pool afterwards. If you take them out immediately and rinse them with tap water like you mentioned, they would probably work fine afterwards.
