This is all the fault of my University education. I was a member of the Durham University Assassins Society and needed some weaponry for the games. It all got a bit out of hand though. All the pictures are of my guns on top of the same box so you can see the relative sizes of them.

Supersoakers

  1. Classic 50. A basic gun based on the same design as the first generation Supersoakers, lightweight and feels a bit flimsy but it has held together. Not bad range but little stream and takes ages to pump.

  2. XP-70. Similar size to the 50 but much better put together. A proper valve to trigger the water stream and a pressure chamber so it pumps up much faster than the 50. A bigger water stream too though it is badly balanced and uncomfortable to hold when full.

  3. XP-20. A lovely little gun. Similar water stream to the 50 but shorter range but it's half the size. Pumps up quickly because of the small water chamber. The only problem is the small handle isn't very comfortable.

  4. CPS 2500. Big daddy gun. It looks like something out of Starship Troopers (well it would if painted black all over) and hold 6 pints of water. Takes an age to pump and discharges very fast. Can kick out about a pint in one garden hose like blast though. Has three nozzle sizes for big blast, silly blast or dump the pressure instantly. Very silly, heavy, and funny. Me like. :)

Nerf Guns

  1. Lock n' Load. A neat little plunger type gun. Fires the standard Nerf darts one at a time by a spring loaded plunger that is pulled back to cock it. The gun comes with a large yellow cowling on the top which is pulled back to cock it. I have removed this which makes the gun smaller and fire slightly better.
    Modified Lock & Load
     
  2. Eagle Eye. Works in a similar fashion to the Lock n Load but with a handle on the side cocking mechanism. It is a gimmick gun with a "laser sight" provided by a light bulb and a red lens. Slightly inferior to the Lock n Load and much bulkier. Sight can be useful if you are in the dark.

  3. Supermaxx 1500. An air powered gun. Has four manually rotated barrels and takes 3 pumps for each shot. Robust, quick to fire and the longest ranged toy gun I have seen (when used with non standard Larami darts pictured next to the gun).
