Re: First Water Guns
A 4-pack of "Splash!" squirt guns I believe. And soon after that, I got my first Super Soaker; a Mini XP 70. That was 10 years ago now...

Re: First Water Guns
An XP 110 almost 10 years ago, that thing is probably still a beast in my armoury.
What got me into water warfare though was a war I had like 12 years ago, using water bottles and squirt pistols, this led to a daily routine of shooting at people on the streets from my balcony .

First Super Soaker was a Max-D 2000.

Re: First Water Guns
A no-brand, somewhat decent, PR gun from Burger King around 1995. This was back when the US was booming and you could still get things like that in a fast food kids meal.

Re: First Water Guns
A Super Soaker 50. My dad and I each got one so we could have water battles. Good times...

Re: First Water Guns
I'm not entirely sure, my first real water guns were a par of XP 270s and XP 310s, I got all of them at or about the same time. I really regret not bying CPS guns, they had them, but I wasn't good at saving money then.

Re: First Water Guns
My first water guns were probably dime-store-type squirt pistols. Things got more interesting with my acquisition of an Entertech Water Hawk and a Larami Uzi. My first Super Soaker, of course, was a Super Soaker 50. However, it was the Super Soaker CPS 2000 that inspired me to create my website, Aquatechnology (now iSoaker.com).

Re: First Water Guns
XP70 as a birthday present sometime between 2000 and 2002. Geez that was a long time ago! Then nothing of any relevance until the Blue MI FF I picked up 1 or 2 years ago.
Re: First Water Guns
SC400 as a birthday present one year, then a cheap squirt gun the next. (Weren't from the same people though, I'm quite sure.) The box of the 400, along with the QFD, was gone for years and I never found it until much later when I actually got into WW. When asking a friend about how it compared to the 2000, I fondly remember him saying, "I would swear but I don't." Oh, the old days.

Re: First Water Guns
The first water gun that I distinctly remember owning was a SC 500.

Re: First Water Guns
I had a pink piston type gun like a stream machine and it was very powerful, especially for 5 year olds. The first Super Soaker I got was an SS 200 I think, which was way too big for me to carry, and took more pumps to pressurize than I realized, so I thought it was extremely underpowered. My mom got it for me at Big Lots on clearance. They often have old guns there. The next gun I got was an XP 55, which was the first which I was able to use properly.

Re: First Water Guns
I was never a fan of the 220. I like the feel of a real trigger. It always seemed just a reshaped XP 20 to me. I did buy 2 2 packs of XP 20s rereleased in 2006?1xalpha wrote:a 6 pack of XP 220s!!!

Re: First Water Guns
Mine was a broken Xp 270. My sister threw it into the waste... I took care of it, managed to repair it somehow( this was at 13 years ) and then I soaked my sister Great times...
The next gun I got was a CPS 3000, haha what an incredible development, hihi From a Xp 270 to a CPS 3000..I was just able to carry it around,...it weight me down the first times haha
Then this all slept quite long, till two years ago, when I started to collect them. and now I am possessing every CPS gun and the reasonable and good AirPressure and Piston Soakers, as also some of the best of BBT guns
Still looking for a Pulse Master and a Skorpion though...

Re: First Water Guns
A Sneak Attack in 2007 was my first true water gun. Ha ha, I thought Super Soaker was awesome back then, and I had no idea Water Warriors exsisted. I wanted to collect the entire AquaShock lineup, and I thought the Hydro Blitz was the most powerful water gun. Ever. My how times have changed...
