Hi, I'm tryiong to build a car-mounted squirt gun that shoots a thin stream backwards (anti-tailgating device, LOL). Doesn't need to be a hard stream, just enough not to dissipate while driving. In other words, if the guy behind me has to use his wipers, that's the effect I'm looking for, nothing nastier.
The device needs to be mostly inside the vehicle, with tubing that bends out a side window as the "firing nozzle" to avoid freaking out people- can't have this big soaker on my roof or something!
Furthermore, I need to be able to fire it while driving, so it has to be flexible enough that I don't have to try pumping it while driving, just push a button or extended trigger or something, so I don't have an accident.
Anyone ever built something like this? I'd be willing to pay PayPal or such to someone who could build a decent device.
Otherwise, are there any kind of soakers/squirtguns that might work for this, and what supplies would I need for the conversion?
Thanks for any help with this weird project.

I really can't say I think that's a wise thing to do to a tailgater. You're only likely going to make them more upset and have them tail you more or become more aggressive.

lol! you should have a bumper sticker that says "don't tailgate me or i'll soak you!"
BTW what kind of car is it? because if you had a pickup or something you could hide the entire apparatus in the bed. a sedan or station wagon would be harder because you'd need somewhere to stick the nozzle out. i would say either a pickup or a car with a sunroof would be best.

or have a bumper sticker that says "I brake suddenly for tailgaters", or "tail me if you want to F#%< me". ( this one works best if the tailgater is male and you flaunt the fact that you are male :p )
better yet, painstakingly train a flock of pidgeons to poo on the car behind you when released. just open the cage out the window, and voila!

Uhh, no, actually hot glue rarely ever makes a good seal. Especially under pressure.BlueMage wrote:try epoxy or lots of hot glue. hot glue usually makes a pretty good seal.
You probably could get a bunch of latex rubber tubes off of McMaster and make a larger QFD type gun, that way you won't have to pump it. House it in some 3" ID PVC and it should hold on with some duct tape. Then you can make the nozzle out of PVC and maybe even have multiple nozzle settings. I'll write some better instructions when I have the time, stay tuned.
