At almost 28 inches long, Spyra’s latest blaster can shoot “water bullets”—individual 30-milliliter bursts, around the same measure as a shot glass—at targets up to 50 feet away. Boasting a barrel with five nozzles, this powerful blaster unleashes five streams of water at everyone in range; just move the handle back and forth to unleash a deluge of floodtastic fun! And even though it's prone to some leakage, the HC-E's low cost and awesome design make up for that.

If you're building your water gun battle arsenal, think of this as the closer range maximum carnage placeholder. On the upside the filling hole on the reservoir is nice and wide so you can refill it with a quick dunk into a bucket of water or a few seconds under a running tap. So get ready to “put ’em up” as we take you on our quick-fire rapid review of the best water soakers around.This particular Super Soaker is a more manageable size, too - it's not heavy or unwieldy like some of the competition. While it doesn’t have a dedicated water tank, this awesome water gun holds a lot of water in the barrel, so you won’t have to refill constantly.

Although that makes the Hydra fairly heavy, it's still straightforward for kids to fire if they're strong enough to wield it fully loaded. What’s more, this will surely add a lot of fun to your poolside entertainment events, especially when lots of kids are involved. You can get a trigger squeeze-release type water gun that releases a long flow of water that stops when you release the trigger or the water source is depleted. However, its size doesn't mean the Soakzooka isn't suitable for the young water warriors amongst us.Although it requires force to activate properly (meaning very young warriors should look elsewhere), this is balanced out by not needing to aim. If you've ever been in a pool-based water gun fight, you know you're pretty much guaranteed to end up underwater at some point. Time to darken the skies and rain down on your recipients with your H20-infused spheres of watery doom. Grab a great water pistol now and then, come the warmer months of the year, you'll be set to wreak watery carnage upon your friends and family.
