Who remembers these? They were fucking awesome.
I realized they stopped making them when I went looking for them online. RIP SuperSoaker!

I don't remember if it was the 200 or the 250, but one of them couldn't handle the weight of the water and would snap the barrel in half if you used the shoulder strap. I had three break and returned before I just settled for the 100

I'd buy a bunch for my kids if they still made them. What is the spiritual successor to the Super Soaker 50? |

I had the 50 and kept it up until a few years ago. I found it in the closet, but it didn't work. I had crap that had grown in the nozzle. I couldn't easily clean it out, so I junked it.

if you really want to
 check out some of the prices for super soakers on Ebay
i forget the model but its not the one with the backpack above but looks about the same we had 2 and when you pumped it up it fired off about a gallon in one shot heavy and useless for water gun fights but you could just about take a kid off his feet with it
thing was such a monster it actually had recoil much like the push of a full auto mag dump anyways... a few years ago it was brought to my attention here that those guns sell for $$$ |

I painted the tip so that it wouldn't stand out so much in the woods. Poor man's paintball with like 8 shots per cartridge. They were blowing them out at Big Lots and we bought all we could as 6th graders one summer. Good times. |

RIP SuperSoaker! http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/nerfipedia/images/b/b9/Super_soaker_50.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110813000358 I remember them well. Had a 50 and one of the smaller ones (to be used as a sidearm/back up gun). The original Super Soakers were such a revolutionary leap forward for water guns. Like going from a flintlock to a Gatling Gun.  |
