Top Water Guns of 2024

Testing water guns can be a challenging task due to the nature of water itself, but overall, it’s a process that I find satisfying. To begin, determining the capacity of each water gun is essential. I achieve this by weighing the water since 1 milliliter of water equals 1 gram. By subtracting the weight of the empty blasters, I can accurately measure and compare their capacities. The table below shows the results, with the Nerf Super Soaker Hydra having the largest capacity overall, followed by its Super Soaker counterpart. On the other hand, the Temi blaster has the least capacity, storing water for just a single burst.

After determining the capacities, the next step is to test how quickly each gun can shoot out its water. This process involves multiple runs with the help of a timer to find the shortest time it takes to empty the capacity. Shooting water guns continuously for hours turned out to be a surprisingly intense workout.

It’s evident from the data that the longer it takes to empty a water gun (over 30 seconds), the lower its soak factor (capacity divided by empty time) tends to be. However, the quickest empty time doesn’t always correspond to the highest soak factor, as demonstrated by the Temi blaster. Despite its moderate capacity of just over 500mL, the Temi achieves a massive soak factor of almost 300 with its quick 1.8-second empty time.

The Super Soaker sibling guns follow closely with similar empty times, but the Hydra’s larger capacity gives it a better soak factor. On the other hand, the Nerf XP50-AP and Team Magnus guns, with their modest capacities and low soak factors, may not empty quickly but can keep you in the game for an extended period.

Another important test we conduct is for distance. This test, while simple in design, has a touch of abstractness to it. By releasing several blasts of water from the same starting point, height, and angle, I measure the distance covered on an outdoor concrete surface. The water markings on the concrete provide a clear indication of the furthest edge reached by the water stream, excluding any stray drops.

Overall, testing water guns can be an engaging and physically demanding process, but the results provide valuable insights into the performance of each blaster. By meticulously measuring capacities, soak factors, and shooting distances, we can evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of these water toys. Now, it’s time for you to gather your friends, grab your water guns, and have an epic water battle to put these findings to the test!
