Win or get soaked.

Anyone else still practice this?

[ZombieFriedNuts]

Win or get soaked? I think it’s a case of get soaked and have fun!

Sure! Play with guys and you get to use your 1337 FPS tactics in practise to win glorious battles over your foes. Play with girls, and you understand why wet t-shirts are such wonderful things.

That's gotta be the best....

Waterfights are without a doubt man's greatest invention.

Screw Medicene and helping people and stuff, getting people soaking wet rules!!!
especially when you dont use water, and use....different substances

Exactly why I stick with paintball.

Back in the early 1960's, Parks Plastics made a Luger squirt gun (molded of black plastic, so it appeared real at a distance) with a claimed range of "over 50 feet". These were also very accurate, shooting a narrow stream right where you wanted. I don't think the various super-soakers of today (while pumping out much higher volumes of liquid) could match the old guns for range or accuracy. They did require strong hands to reach their peak performance. I had two of the things, and worked both hands to exhaustion on many occasions.

My neighbors had an annoying cat, who made it a habit at night to climb over the wall dividing our properties in order to attack our pet canary. After finding the poor bird battered half to death one day, I filled my best Parks Plastics Luger with a cleaning solution containing ammonia, and waited up that night. When the cat came over the wall into our property, he got squirted right in the eyes with the solution. And as he turned to run away, the centerpiece of his derriere was also soaked. I later saw him back in his own yard, rubbing his eyes with his front paws while simutaneously scooting his butt on the ground. Needless to say, he didn't come back for quite a while.

I found out later that I should have flushed the ammonia solution from the gun with fresh water, as the cleaning solution eventually attacked the plastic and ruined the gun. Ahhh, memories...

Every single day a couple summers ago, me and a couple friends would play. We had walkie talkies and everything. We carried multiple guns and if we ran out, one of us would sit at the "turret" or the hose.

Good times, good times...

lmao, that's the spirit!

Ideally everyone should have one main gun and one sidearm, plus some "water grenades" made up of fragile plastic bags filled with water. Hose makes for a good turret. Different players should have different primary weapons - some should have weapons with high fire speed and much water (think machinegunners), others should use long-distance accurate "sniper" water rifles, and there could also be "grenadiers" with extra water grenades and no primary weapon (only sidearm), and everyone could work together as a squad:
- 5 o'clock, sniper, 50
- 2 o'clock, turret, 20
- All, engage turret!
- Roger!
- Engaging!
- 5, injured!
- 5, heal at echo-alpha two-four!
- oh no, 3 is down!
- 4 is down!
- all, take cover!
etc...

Amen. I hate getting wet, but getting painted is where its at....or painting others that is.

Man, you blinded a cat for being a cat, not very nice [this is the frontroom...]

[Geezer57]

No, he wasn't blinded - just discouraged. He eventually came back and killed our canary, but that's another story.

[master of the puppets]

ah, watwer fights were so awsome, especially in our house when they escellated intio mud fights .

it would start out with water balloons and water pistols, we would shoot each other until someone took the initiative and got the hose, then when the ground was drenched it turned into a mud slinging contest, eventually someone was hit with a rock and fistfights would ensue .

of course the greatest water pistol i ever hadf was not a giant super soaker but a small one, jet black, in the shape of an Uzi, it had the greatest range of any water shooter i ever had and fired in multiple small squirts rather than a stream. it was such a great gun, eventually it broke and lately i have evolved to paintball and hand to hand combat.

hey after a bit of searchin i found one like it http://www.fancydresscostumeshop.com...ne_Pistol.html

[littlelostboy]

What about water bombs? You fill the ballons with water and throw it at someone. My friends and I used that together with water guns and imagine that we were fighting in a war. Those times....

[Zalmoxis]

Water baloons are ok, but how do you decide who wins ina a watergun war?

[littlelostboy]

Whoever gets cornered and take in the brunt of the force. But most of the time, there are no winners or losers, we just do it for the fun of it.

[edyzmedieval]

I love them. They're such fun.

@Geezer

Poor kitty. Guess you squirted the courage out of him.

Come on Legio, we're playing SWAT?

No, those lines are actually from Operation Flashpoint

[Drisos]

gah! i sudden remember this kind of stuff from about 6 years ago. was pretty awesome indeed. would be even better to have lasers instead of water. and then suits that notice when hit by the laser and send a signal to your laser-weapon which shuts it down. but that would be quite expensive...

[Conqueror]

^^

I've actually been to a laser-fight like that

[Uesugi Kenshin]

There's a pretty good laser tag place in Albany (about an hour away), we went there last Saturday, it was a ton of fun. It is a bit expensive ($15 for three 15 or so minute games). It's especially fun when the staff have to come to your opponent's aid, but you win anyway!

Laserquest guys...
