Hydro Blaster Game – Water Battle Game with 2 Water Guns and 2 Bibs with Colour Changing Targets – Canal Toys

Product Information

We're looking especially to see if manufacturer claims prove accurate in the real world, so if a product is advertised on its ability to fire water jets far, but in reality they go just a few meters, we'll tell you. Team Magnus Incog Water Guns 1,200cc: This gun had one of my favorite looks. It holds a lot of water because it's basically all capacity and no fluff. It doesn't shoot very far in comparison to our other tested units, but it'll keep you in the game for a while, taking about 1 minute, 15 seconds to empty -- even constantly shooting.

Nerf Super Soaker Soakzooka: This was actually a great product, just not a category winner. Third highest soak factor, and was the only gun to actually shoot farther than its stated claims at 30 feet versus 25. First, understand that this battery-powered water gun has two different shooting modes. There is the normal single shot (you get 22 of these on a full tank) and there is the PowerShot. By holding down the trigger, the gun charges and issues forth a larger, more powerful blast. Super Soaker's Constant Pressure System, or CPS, pressurizes water by pumping it into a small, expandable bladder. Since the pump is activated by a turning motor rather than a trigger, the design can have a slightly expanded cylinder size without making it more difficult to shoot. This extends the blast range somewhat. But the real advantage of this design is that the shooter doesn't have to keep pumping the trigger to continually shoot water. If you hold down the trigger, the motor keeps pumping, emitting a rapid series of bursts, like the continual fire of a machine gun.To make his idea a reality, Johnson enlisted the help of an accomplished inventor named Bruce D'Andrade. Together, D'Andrade and Johnson came up with the basic design that would become the Super Soaker.

If you're looking for the best water gun that balances price with power, the Super Soaker Hydra is a front-runner with few rivals. Thanks to a handle pump that unleashes a deluge of water, it'll completely drench opponents in no time at all. Although it'll get through its 65 fl oz (1.9L) tank faster than you'd expect, there aren't many alternatives within the same price range that can challenge it. Power: Typically measured in distance or PSI, a water gun’s power will play an enormous role in its overall performance and user experience. Not only is this area responsible for how far a water gun can shoot, but it will also play a massive role in determining a given model’s accuracy — especially from a distance. In the late 1990s, a new wave of Super Soaker guns came out that boasted higher pressure levels. These guns, developed by Bruce D'Andrade, feature the Constant Pressure System, or CPS. The main component in this system is a simple water bladder. This bladder is like a balloon, but it is made of much more rigid material. These guns have the same sort of pump as other Super Soakers, but the water and air are driven into the water bladder rather than into a plastic reservoir. As you pump more water in, the bladder expands, in the same way a balloon expands as you blow more air into it. When it is stretched, the bladder wants to return to its natural shape, so it applies a good deal of inward pressure on the water. When you pull the trigger and open up the passageway to the gun barrel, this pressure drives all of the water out of the gun. This allows for much more powerful water blasts than can be achieved with compressed air alone. In our tests, we show that the PowerShot takes the water about 11% farther, about 34 feet, 7 inches, versus the single shot at 30 feet, 10 inches. Only the Temi water gun was able to beat the single-shot distance, but Spyra comes away the distance victor with its PowerShot mode. Inside the body of a Super Soaker, you'll find a network of plastic tubes. This is something like the plumbing system that pumps water throughout your house.

The device that makes this possible is called a one-way valve. The one-way valve in a basic squirt pistol consists of a tiny rubber ball that rests neatly inside a small seal. There are two one-way valves: one between the reservoir and the pump, and another between the pump and the nozzle. The purpose of the pumping system in a Super Soaker is to compress air. Each time you drive water from the large reservoir into the small reservoir, it pushes up against all of the air inside. Air is a compressible fluid -- you can decrease its volume by squeezing it -- but water is not. When you add more and more water to the small reservoir, it takes up a greater and greater volume. Since there is a limited amount of space in the reservoir, these larger volumes of water compress the air inside the gun so that it has a much higher pressure than the air outside the gun. This cushion of high-pressure air pushes on all of the water in the reservoir; the water presses on the sides of the gun, trying to get outside to restore pressure balance.

Since each bit of water further compresses the air cushion, the force of the blast depends on how much water you pump into the small reservoir. At a high-enough pressure level, the outward force of the compressed air and pressurized water might exceed the structural integrity of the plumbing in the gun, causing it to leak. To prevent this from happening, the trigger mechanism is designed to let some water through when the pressure reaches a certain level. This " leak level" is determined by the strength of the metal that holds the trigger down. Essentially, this piece of metal is like an ordinary spring, and its springiness is determined by its composition. If the metal is more rigid, it will take a higher water-pressure level to push it out of the way. If you have a more flexible piece, the gun will let some water leak at a lower pressure. More premium options offer an even stronger performance. We've yet to go hands-on with it, but the SpyraTwo has been making waves in recent years (quite literally). Indeed, the company claims that it is the "world's strongest water gun". This is thanks to an electric pump that fires pellets of water rather than the usual stream. Which water gun shoots the farthest? Although Temi boasts the smallest water capacity of all units tested, you can dump that capacity in under 2 seconds, resulting in a soak factor just shy of 300. The second place unit, a Super Soaker model, came in with a soak factor of 107. Ammo” Capacity: Though it limits portability, the volume or reservoir of a water gun will directly determine how much “ammo” it can store — a metric that will directly determine how long of a firefight one can enjoy before having to refill their weapon. During testing we rate Super Soakers and other water-spewing weaponry on build quality, water capacity, features and range, which we feel are the most important elements to a good water gun.T3 tests water guns by buying them from retailers, filling them with water, and then shooting our friends and family with jets of H2O. You'll need to park yourself in or near water to get much use out of these, but that makes them great for pools or a trip to the lake. If you're building your water gun battle arsenal, think of this as the closer range maximum carnage placeholder. Super Soakers are built around a pump mechanism, but moving the pump doesn't actually drive water out of the gun; it serves to build up water pressure before the blast. In the first wave of Super Soakers, you built up this pressure by pumping air directly into a single water reservoir. As you pumped in more air, it became more and more compressed and so applied greater pressure to the water inside. Redefine your water battles with the HydroBlaster! Dominate from an impressive range of up to 32 ft. An exhilarating experience like no other awaits!
