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

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

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.
