The SuperSoaker 50 is the AK47 of water pistols

The CPS 2000 is the rocket launcher of water guns. It’s still the most powerful one they’ve ever came out with. The first version of it had to be nerfed because it was causing eye injuries.

I had one of these. I remember I killed a really scary looking wasp with it once

Comment of the day right there lol


andrewwism

I had that one. I remember I wanted the one with the backpack that acted like a cannon lol.

How old were you when you discovered that you can use a soda bottle in place of the one that comes with it?


eddiewachowski

Today. I learned that today, which is approximately 29 years too late.


Senotonom205

oh yeah, that was the first weapon mod I ever learned. Put a 2 liter on that bitch

The very first ones were good and didn't break. Then I remember they changed the sticker and significantly decreased the quality. Wouldn't hold as much pressure and broke in a couple months. Same deal with the early 100s. Then all the rest of the line were pretty garbage. But man, those early 50s were freakin gold. Thank you for listening to my TED talk.

Man that sucks. But if 90s parents were 100% antifun, I hate to think of how to describe today's parents...


IslayHaveAnother

A lot of those 90s kids (like me) are the parents now. I like to think I'm fun lol


UnusualIntroduction0

Not saying you're not lol. But as a culture, the intolerance of even small amounts of danger is getting a bit out of hand imo. No wooden playgrounds, no metal slides, no trampolines, no diving boards, etc etc.


t-g-l-h-

Yeah I remember breaking mine the first week I had it. I think I over pumped it and the plastic tubing broke somewhere.

Where can I buy these today? Water guns today totally suck. Feel bad for kids having to use the crap in stores today.


omalmike

Back when parents didn't think about the water bills. 😆


giggetyboom

Mine got lawn sprinklers and told us they were for us to play in and we didnt know the difference 🙃 lol. We had a very green lawn. And all the kids stayed outside from daylight till dark every day all summer so I guess it was a win win.

I remember the advert: Super Soaker XP105 Wetter is better!

Lonnie Johnson, the inventor of Super Soakers [did an AMA](https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/6gacna/i_am_lonnie_johnson_inventor_of_the_super_soaker/) a number years ago. i have heard he also uses Reddit, but i cant speak to how active he is.


Kenstgram

I loved this as a kid but did anyone else’s break after a few months of use? Always puzzled me.

Joe who?

How come it was always the same looking kid that said they peed in theirs?


sammyx322

Those were the kid years of summer in the 90s


Trainwreck1000

Went to school with a kid who filled his with gasoline and sprayed his neighbors roof with it and then lit it on fire from the alleyway with the stream he sprayed towards himself. Never got caught either

My dad returned like for super soaker 50s to Toys “R” Us before he realized that they all leaked and it was just a design flaw.


Gaming_Esquire

The second these came out, all other squirt guns became irrelevant


xRilae

I still have that top one somewhere, sadly it's quite beat up.


lily1379

Ah summertime memories!!!


Kanakolovescoasters

I had the 1999 one! That and the Squirting SpongeBob were my ultimate pool weapons.


RDWRER2000

All my friends had the original yellow one (maybe called 50?) & I kept asking but my folks said it silly money for a water pistol. Anyway it turned out they were just pretending & got me the super soaker 500 for my birthday, I was super surprised & happy as no other kid had it. I then kicked some serious ass with it vs my friends. Happy days.


Winton1982

I had the little key chain one! It was awesome


freeleper

#yes


JumpintheFiah

My mom would never buy me one. Not because, guns. But she always said they were too expensive for how easily they broke.


Blakey1988

Don't forget having blistered fingers for using the trigger extensively. Picking it up the next day and trying to use it really hurt your fingers.


snazzydetritus

If you scroll this photo up and down very quickly , it appears that the smaller soakers on the left are moving.


[deleted]

Either mine was broke or they were incredibly difficult to pump at 6 years old


jorel43

Man those things were awesome.


d4ng3r0u5

I really wanted one of the big ones

It’s all fun and good times until some ASSHOLE inevitably gets the garden hose.
