Water Warriors Power Raider sold under their own branding in UK.

The Power Raider http://www.isoaker.com/Armoury/Analysis ... raider.php that in the USA is sold under WalMart's store brand, is in the UK and possibly other countries sold under Water Warriors own branding, for example https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toy ... e/p/182373

Hardly Earth-shattering news I know, just a bit of trivia. Hopefully Water Warriors get a bit of brand recognition out of it over here.

I tried my friends and the trigger gets stuck open and completely empty’s the chamber frequently but the power is alright, probably about like a python 2 for power
If you ever bother reading these, I worry for your mental sanity. :oo:

I found the following interesting:
For the past two years, Walmart has moved away from brand-named water blasters, instead opting for their private label in part, to avoid consumers from being able to do cross-store price comparisons.
I've read that Best Buy has similar tricks to avoid price matching.

Also, iSoaker mentions that the sight is of questionable use. A traditional sight isn't great for water blasters because the trajectory isn't very straight. I've thought about using a ladder sight to account for this before but have no idea how practical it would be in a real water war. I suspect it's not very practical because you can usually see the entire trajectory and made adjustments on-the-fly.
