School is out (for most) and summer is here! Keeping the kids cool and entertained is paramount during summer, and water gun fights are always a big hit.
Since we love all things WATER at WaterTech, we decided to test some of the highly-touted top water guns in stores right now and give our review.
Serious Soaking
Remember when we were kids? Water guns were small and needed to be refilled after a few squirts.
Today, kids can have an arsenal of serious water guns that will drench anyone who comes within range. There are hand-pump action guns as well as powerful battery-operated units. And their holding tanks are huge, not to mention they can shoot distances of up to 40 feet –so they can soak like a champ!
Tested by the Experts
So what are the best water guns this summer? Of course, our panel of judges were highly-trained experts (our kids and their friends). This team of prestigious adjudicators carefully tested the following aquatic firearms for ease of use, water pressure, and distance of shot.
Soak or be Soaked
We armed our judges with the following guns (all were in the $20 or less category) and here’s what they found:
Tsunami Flood Force Our panel of judges grew tired of the serious pumping required to get a spray out of this gun. At $9.99 (Target), the crew was disappointed when the gun only shot 23 feet and 8 inches even though it touted to be able to shoot distances up to 40 feet.
When Kids Get Crabby, Put Them In Water
However you decide to get your kids outside this summer and stay cool, we at WaterTech want to encourage you to offer them clear, refreshing water. You might even help them make a nifty water bottle tote to keep track that water bottle!
