Imagine you’re just chilling in the pool in the 80s and this dude comes and fucks you up with the water equivalent of a 40mm tank round
DictatorButNotRead
And clearly still an a awesome dude
jiynxed
Ayy he's a cool fella too.

I miss the first generation super soakers.
DrasticBastard
Me too, they were so much better.

This guy is responsible for the partial destruction of my house in summer when I was a kid

Sometimes you can like person just based off one thing they did. I like this guy ?
PariahCarey
Hahahahaha perfect response!
robotnixon13
That is absolutely badass
CheflyOne
My GA highschool engineering professor was friends of friends with this guy and talked about him all the time. NVR mentioned he was black.
dickheadJake
Does his skin color matter?
MissEpona
What’s wrong with acknowledging part of his identity when celebrating his work?

Former engineer at NASA too!

Oh man, can you still get super soakers? We used to always have water fights at Christmas as kids. I wanna bring that back.
ShlongaDonga
Isn't it the #1 best selling toy of all time?
byohzzrd
So what ever happened to Super Soaker? I can't find any for my kids and all the eBay ones are "vintage".
xyrax
If I recall some kinda rule/law change happened at some point that made it so the pressure in them had to be reduced due to injuries...
basicwhitelich
OG super soaker was the best. The threads fit a 20oz bottle so anyone could have whole coolers full of quick reloads
SendDanDanNoods
Thank you kindly, sir. You made many a VBS actually interesting and kept us cool in the 95+ days.
Sokonomi
Hes even holding the exact model I had. Came with a backpack tank and everything. Good memories, Thanks Linex!
CandyCurse
Well, consider me soaked.

I bought an original Laramie 50 off eBay just to remind myself. doesn’t work anymore but glorious!

The supersoaker 50 was the best supersoaker, and I will hose down anyone who disagrees.
Feralkyn
Oh MAN I laughed.
iamatiger
God bless him for using the same threads as a plastic bottle. I used 2 liters as ‘emergency’ ammunition

We draw the line at urine, sir

I had one (not sure if it was a knockoff or not) that would attach to a garden hose where the bottle screwed in. higher pressure and >

unlimited ammo, in exchange for less opportunity of movement.
BeesechurgerProductions
We called that the "waterthrower"
MexicanTrainer
Heh, use both hands. Just like the super soaker!
Prowler2142
I still have mine somewhere. Its the one with the altfire where it dumps the entire tank in one shot. It has legit recoil.
SixFeetShort
I love this man.

Dang! That was an amazing story. I live in Omaha NE too! I had no idea! My grandfather was also neighbors with the Koolaid inventor!
WoodHooker
What did your grandfather invent?
SUREEMANN
Koolaid was invented in Hastings, Nebraska. Growing up, my grandad and the neighbor kids all would try flavors of Koolaid next door.
WoodHooker
That is actually pretty freaking sweet!

That was a great read

i come back to read.
yourebreathtaking
iirc Laramie sold out to hasbro, who then tried to screw him on royalties, so it ended up in litigation and supersoakers disappeared for
yourebreathtaking
A long time. I think he recently won an just last year target released a limited run... not quite as good as the originals but way better
theperfectusernamedoesntexist
They are not way better than anything else. The 100 barely shoots 25 feet. I returned my the day after I bought it.
yourebreathtaking
Than anything else out currently
certainlynotaserialkiller
pro tip: dont put gasoline in it...
MrChzbrgr
"don't"
legolasmyeggolas
Or do...
Vergenbuurg
Will it end up werfing flammens?
OuchYoureonmyhair
Do you have someting against flammenwerfers?
RaptorClawBR
If u do, def dont use a lighter to make it a flamethrower.
AutistMasterbaiter
Add liquid hand soap before you light it... it’s more fun if it’s sticky and it goes farther away from you or so I hear.
FeminineBeeOnslaught
If u do, def don't get gas on your hands and give urself 3rd degree burns

Millions of Americans are affected by genital herpes. "Even me!"
isetprettygirlsonfire
Sorry to hear that, but it still doesn't make you any more immune or prone to 3rd degree burns
AlmostScientist
He needs to do it again and make the water hurt even more lol
Gonnaderpya
You pump that fucker until you can't, you'll make it hurt ?
aFadingMemory
That's how you blow an o-ring man!
AlmostScientist
Yes but I want it to hurt even more. Also is it just me or do modern ones kinda suck compared to the ones from the early 2000’s
Sinhumane
I’d wager a bet there is a niche vintage super soaker community.
NoRoutesFound
Try adding hydrochloric acid instead of water.
Gonnaderpya
I haven't had one since the 90s sadly
g1tdat
Shit the ones from the 90s were brutal streams too. We all aimed for the face , that shit can blind you quick.
fingersb
cps2000 owner, i could knock kids off the pool side from lifeguard chair, still have it too
g1tdat
Big dick player! I had to trade for it.
wellwhattime
There was one that has a plastic saw thing on the front that made the water look broken up I always wanted it cant find it =(
iLikeFuzzyPeaches
I had one, the design was flawed because you did more damage to your self with it. Was fun to bayonet people with the sponge saw though
