Now There's a Water Gun That Shoots Liquid Bullets and Refills Itself

Until the Super Soaker came along in 1990, water guns hadn’t changed much in over a century. But the Super Soaker was 28 years ago, and a group of German engineers and designers think it’s finally time for water guns to evolve again. They’ve created the self-filling Spyra One that fires quick bursts of water instead of a steady stream, which promises to improve accuracy and distance.

The Super Soaker was a staple of my childhood, as it was for millions of other kids, but most of my summer afternoons were either spent refilling the blaster, or endlessly pumping air into the water tank so I had enough pressure to soak my friends from afar. The Spyra One supposedly eliminates both of those inconveniences with the addition of motorized pumps that do all of the hard work for you.

I certainly wish someone made a quality Super Soaker now. Most of the ones I have picked up in recent years leak all over, have lousy range, etc.
