Nerf Super Soaker Lightning Storm Microburst

I bought an arsenal of Super Soakers for my niece and nephews before visiting. We had a blast in the hot summer. This little gun was by far my favorite. The pumping action itself makes the water shoot out, as opposed to pumping up to build air pressure. So it is quicker to fire and it really had a great range. The downside is a small reservoir, so when you are deep in the water fight, don't stray too far from the water source.Pros:Shoots straightLong rangeDurable - fewer moving partsSimple operation for older kids and adultsCons:Does not hold much waterOperation not as easy for small kids as you have to aim and pull the pump at the same time

Bought this for cat control, works great! Can reach her climbing up the window screens without leaving my seat. Water stream is focused, so I can easily aim for her body and avoid her head. After a few sprays, all I need to do now is aim it and threaten to squirt, and she'll start behaving, lol. if you're looking to have major squirt gun fights for fun, you might want to get one with a larger water reservoir. This one is a powerful squirter but doesn't hold a whole lot of water.Edited 2019 - I had to add this because when I bought this it was around $8. A few years later I'm looking at it's $38 ! That's just crazy. For $8 I would buy it again, but for $38 ?? No way. Maybe it's a typo and supposed to be $8...

Absolutely worthless and not worth sending back after postage in taken off its price. That orange thing under the front has to be squeezed by my arthritic hand to generate power to spray a cat in order to deter it from the counter tops. At 72 degrees F. in the house, the orang thing is solid and not mobile in any way!!!! This is not the way to go and everyone needs to look harder or go to a toy store to find what you want.

Microburst seems to be a good backup to the Scatterblast. i tucked the Microburst in my swim trunks in the 3 o'clock position and when the Scatterblast ran dry i transitioned to my secondary like a seasoned frickin operator (cuz i'm high speed, low drag!) and kept slaying frickin bodies.no complaints. good to go.

I got this so that I can interrupt my dog's barking when they are in the yard, but I think I am going to give it to my grandson to play with because it only holds enough water for about 3-4 shots and the range is really pretty bad, I'm really lucky to get it to shoot 15 feet but at that range the stream is quite diminished and the dogs just laugh at me

Purchased for my 3- and 5-year-olds. They can handle it well and really enjoy being able to squirt the old man. It gives a good stream. Capacity is quite low since it is a small gun. It's two-handed operation, pull the pump handle toward you and it shoots. Wouldn't be much fun for older kids I expect.

One of our cats thinks he's a tough guy and loves knocking s*** off the counters when you are trying to watch TV. We had a spray bottle we used to threaten him when he tried to knock big or important s*** off, but it didn't have the range or the force necessary (we have a big living room). This is perfect. Highly recommend for feline discipline.

I got this in hopes of being able to squirt the squirrels raiding my bird feeders. Having to shoot through a screen is a draw back but I had high hopes. It does work easily though it doesn't hold much water and it doesn't shoot far enough for my purposes. If it is for play, I think it would be fine.
