PAW PATROL Water Blaster Backpack Portable Water Gun Backpack for Kids Fun Outdoor Toys for Children (Chase Water Gun)

Product Information

Bushes, trees and garden furniture are all excellent sources of cover in a water fight. Not only will you avoid getting hit, you'll also keep out of sight and can ambush your enemies when they least expect it. Once filled, you'll also need to remember to keep the water gun upright, as we found it leaks when pointing downwards. In our range tests we fired each water gun several times at various angles to find the maximum range we were able to reach. Across the board we found that aiming your gun slightly higher helped the water fire further. We filled each water gun, pumped it up to full power if required, and then fired them several times from a few different angles.

One of the water guns, the Nerf Super Soaker Fortnite HC-E, was unfortunately broken on arrival, so we were unable to complete testing for that one. Soaking power You'll have to make those shots count, however, as despite having a capacity of more than a litre we only fired it seven times before it needed refilling. This may be partly due to how much water is wasted during pumping, as it dribbled a lot of water out of the end of the barrel when we were pumping it up. Then we refilled each gun and counted how many times you could fire it before the tank would need refilling. 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.You might be tempted to don your army fatigues, but you'll be at a major disadvantage. Light clothes that won't absorb too much water are best for keeping you agile and speedy in the heat of water-based battle. 5) Get to cover If you've got a water gun with a good range, this tactic will help you maximise your advantage. 3) Keep moving 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.

We then fired each water gun from a couple of metres away, ensuring that the whole shot hit the tester's overalls. To find out how each water gun fares at the all-important task of drenching your opponents, we dressed a tester in white overalls and dyed the water in our water guns green. Water capacity – Soakers are made to hold different capacities of water and small water tanks will need to be constantly refilled. If you’re just looking for a simple, fun game to play around a paddling pool, then a smaller water capacity could suffice, but for epic water fights choose one with a larger tank. Speed and agility are important in water fights, so you'll want to avoid being weighed down by heavy, absorbent clothing. T3 tests water guns by buying them from retailers, filling them with water, and then shooting our friends and family with jets of H2O.We'd certainly recommend this water gun for the littlest ones in the water fight, but older children would probably prefer it as a side-arm. But this water gun did come up the shortest in our range tests and it can't be relied on to get your opponents especially wet. Overall, we think this is a superb water gun that'll make everyone want to be on your team for your next water fight.

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? After a lot of research, we've discovered that the Stream Machine TL 750 might just have the longest range of all the water guns we've looked at - more specifically, it can fire "up to 70 feet", which is a whole lot more than the majority of the competition. Want a water gun that can shoot the farthest? Take a look at the Stream Machine.

Water guns with single shots and those that need pumping up before firing are especially weak against moving targets. It takes time to prepare those water guns to fire so you've got to make your shots count, which isn't easy when your target is on the run. 4) Wear the right clothes We then took photos of how drenched they were and judged how much soaking power one shot from each water gun has. Blast Distance – Whether it’s a gentle blast or a full-on soaking, you can find water guns with various blast distances. We've listed the blast distances for each soaker, but remember these are the maximum possible distances, not all kids will be able to reach those max lengths, especially if strong pumping is required first.
