Splat Blaster question
Posted: Sun Mar 22, 2009 4:18 pm
I just found these being sold at Meijer along with many of the new WW releases, and I'm wondering... could it be possible to go Terminator-style with this gun? =P
If you don't know what I'm talking about, in one scene in Terminator 2, Arnold's on a bike shooting out the tires of a big-rig with a lever-action shotgun, and reloads it by flipping it around by the lever. Could that work with the splat blaster? Mechanically I could do it, but whether the rotating action will allow the chamber to collect water is questionable.

However, due to the amount of force needed to pull the pump combined with the weight (or rather, lack of weight and odd balance) of the Splat Blaster, the likelihood of being able to successfully pump it single-handedly is rather small-to-none. Someone might be able to do it a few times after trying a lot of things, but I doubt it could be done easily and reliably over an extended period of time.
