Funny you mention that sreinhard, my parents were invited to a pool party for one of my mom's coworkers, and said to being water guns, so they bought these cheap little $0.50 ones, and were surprised to see everyone else there (all grown adults) with Super Soakers, and this was only a couple weeks after they tossed all mine...
That's pronounced "karma", elcap lol! I had quite the collection back in the day, was invited to a huge water battle and went to the shed only to find everything was gone. Ended up making one out of a water bottle, the needle to an air pump, a hand-held balloon pump, and the handle of one of those packing tape dispensers...I am the super soaker MacGyver!
