You Also Have To Consider The Following Factors
How much water it holds
It’s important for you to consider how much water a gun holds before you pick it. The amount of water held will directly or indirectly affect how often you will have to reload your gun. Of course, none of us wants to keep loading the water gun after every shootout as this would give your opponents a competitive advantage.
The shooting distance
How far can your water gun shoot? This is another important factor which has to be considered before you pick any of them. Unless you want to be shooting at yourself (pun intended), it’s important that you go for a gun boasting an incredible shooting distance. Whether it’s birds or friends you want to engage in a water gun warfare with, you can be sure that they won’t be closer than 10ft from you. For that reason, it’s advisable that you arm yourself a war machine which can crank up to at least 30ft.
The weight
Depending on who is going to be using the gun, weight has to be put into consideration. If you’re getting it for your kids, ensure that they can lift the fully loaded gun without having to struggle. This way, they will have fun without getting exhausted or too tired.
How comfortable it is
How comfortable is the handle, the trigger or the gun in general? This is important since it affects how often you will want to put your shooting skills to action. Most importantly, kids have very low tolerance to discomfort which means that if you don’t get something comfortable, your kids might not be motivated to use it.
The price
Although some people might argue that the price isn’t that important, I beg to differ. The price is just as important as any other factor. This is because it gives a general overview of what to expect. However, it’s advisable that you approach the issue on price with a pinch of salt given the fact that some sellers understand the price psychology.
Final Words
When looking for the best water guns, it’s crucial that you check the capacity, the shooting distance and the comfort of all its accessories. This will help you get the best products. Given the products listed above, although each one of them boasts its unique features, one thing is common among all of them; quality.
