I remember them being outperformed by literally any supermarket toy aisle watergun. They ate batteries and had a crappy range, but boy did they look bad-ass to 4th grader me
I still have the OG Super Soaker 2000 with the ¼” nozzle. The one they recalled because or knocks your eye out or whatever?
I've had to rescue it from the bin-slash-garage Sale pile three times since I've been married. Now it lives in my home office locked in the gun safe with a "no touch sneks insid" sign on the door.
