That is really cool. My kids would love that. But I'm not getting them those silly junior spy outfits.

[AmishBurrito]

i think i am addicted to hasbro, i'm 21, but i bought a super soaker the other day because it was on sale for $8.88 http://www.hasbro.com/default.cfm?page=ps_results&product_id=17452


(P.S. don't buy the helix http://www.hasbro.com/default.cfm?page=ps_results&product_id=17357 they say it makes a double helix like DNA stream, but it doesnt work that great)

[Mr. Underhill]

Hmmmmm. :?

[cbs42]

I would have LOVED that as a kid.
Ok fine, I would love it NOW. Damn my kidlike mentality! Every purchase I make validates my wife's opinion that I've not evolved past 6th grade.

:D

[Oprime]

Just make sure the kids dont shoot the HD widescreen!

[feekonea]

wow that does look awesome, i gotta get me one of those.

the supersokers are terrably underpowered and SMALL.

than what do you suggest?

[ultradoug]

they dont sell the big ones anymore.
its a shame they were alot of fun.
for a toy?
i have not seen anything cool lately.

[AmishBurrito]

yeah i used to have one with a 6-10 gallon backpack and it shot like those ones that you dip in the pool and pull the handle back to fill up (just like a long cyllinder) and would shoot as powerfully as the hose. The backpack was rediculously heavy for me as a kid tho.

UD, I saw a feakin' HUGE supersoker in Target the other day.

In the youth group that I run at church, we play an assassins game (with much cheaper squirt guns of course) but each person gets someone else's name and that is thier target. When you take out your target, you get the name they had. It is alot of fun but it eventually breaks into chaos. People lose interest in the hunt and just want to squirt people.

I remember one that was freakin' huge, I was like a turret with a backpack full of water, or maybe it large because I was 8. Oh well. :lol:

BTW, does anyone play airsoft? I went with my brother to fill up some paintball CO2 tanks for his church youth outing and the place had a lot of airsoft guns.

I'd seen them before, but wow. These were very realistic. And, they appeared to be of high quality/durable construction.

It looked like interesting fun.

give me old fashioned water balloons and a water balloon launcher - the giant slingshot kind that requires three guys to operate. Those weapons of aquatic warfare could take out zaraqawiwhateveerhisnameis as good as any 500lb. bomb.

That game sounds awesome.

yeah i've played airsoft before, its pretty cool. the bullets sting a little, but not too much, enough to let you know you got hit. If you have some wooded area to play in, its a lot of fun to run around shooting each other.

we set some rules like either 3v3 and last team alive
or 3v3 and when u get hit, you go back to starting zone to respawn, etc.

my girlfriend got in with a group of like 40 people from 5 different highschools in the area a few years ago where they all got nerf guns and played this game. There was a $5 entrance fee, and winner takes all. the rules were that you cannot shoot someone on school grounds, and if you get yourself as a target you become a free agent and can shoot anyone. There was a message board where people could post each kill they got, and a website to show the remaining players.

That's hilarious! Sorry, I don't mean that in a good way.

The whining pansy parent groups have taken the fun out of everything. Did you catch the last line of the commercial? You can even shoot targets on your own TV! Translation: These guns have no power behind them whatsoever and you'll be lucky if they fly straight more than 6 feet!

I feel sorry for the wimps growing up in today's Fully-Governed-Safety-Nazi-Everybody-Is-A-Winner-There-Are-No-Losers society. No wonder there are lawsuits over the Exit Exams from High School, the children today have all initiative removed from them. Our society has basically removed all risk and reward from everything in a child's life!

Give me the good old fashioned dart gun with the spring so strong you literally had to shove the muzzle into the ground to get the 5" dart loaded. And, to top it off, if you removed the suction cup that hard plastic shaft could travel a good 30-35 feet before it slowed! If you are a child of the 70's, 80's or 90's you'll have no clue as to what I am referring to, you may think you do, but you remember the castrated version with the truncated spring and soft plastic shaft.

My kids have this toy. It is ok. The TV interaction was fun for the first time or two but the kids quickly realized that the TV couldn't really tell if they were actually hitting the targets. They lost interest after that. The guns themselves are fun and can stick the darts on a window across the room. My kids had several battles before they lost all of the darts. As far as the specific guns go, the pistols ended up being the best. The swarm thing never shot multiple darts effectively. I have had to take the big rocket gun away from them several times for shooting it at each other. When pumped up it can actually cause pain if you hit a person. The rocket will launch a good 20 feet when fully pumped up.

Malechi, I respect you more everytime you post.

How the Hell do you survive on the Left coast? I'd go bonkers. Wait. . .

Don't forget the lawn darts. Now that is a fine toy. Wasn't much of a market growing up in Southern Arizona with lawns noticeably absent in my city.

Those dart guns started to disappear right as I got to the stage where I actually could buy my own. That gets me thinking. Now I can buy power tools and I can make my own. The Discovery Channel is empowering!
