In 1992, Larami was sued for patent infringement by Talk to Me Products, who claimed the Super Soaker was a copy of their American Gladiator water gun, which was patented in 1978. However, Talk to Me Products lost their case as their patent referred to a water gun " having a chamber therein". The Super Soaker used a water chamber on top of the gun, that was detachable for filling. [8] In our tests, we show that the PowerShot takes the water about 11% farther, about 34 feet, 7 inches, versus the single shot at 30 feet, 10 inches. Only the Temi water gun was able to beat the single-shot distance, but Spyra comes away the distance victor with its PowerShot mode. But this water gun did come up the shortest in our range tests and it can't be relied on to get your opponents especially wet.
During testing we rate Super Soakers and other water-spewing weaponry on build quality, water capacity, features and range, which we feel are the most important elements to a good water gun. If you've got a water gun with a good range, this tactic will help you maximise your advantage. 3) Keep movingThis is a more powerful air pressure system that was also first introduced by Super Soaker. It is designed so that water is pumped from the reservoir into an empty plastic container. As the water is pumped in, the air sitting inside becomes compressed. When the trigger is pulled, the valve opens and the compressed air forces the water out. [13] The brand first used separate air pressure in 1991 on the Super Soaker 100 and has since used the technology in many other water guns.
Johnson built an improved prototype and made a trip to the Larami headquarters in Philadelphia where he made a successful sales pitch. [7] Refinements made with Larami design director William Raucci and engineering consultant Bruce D'Andrade made its mass production feasible, [2] and the first commercial version of the water gun appeared in stores the following year as the Power Drencher. In 1991 it achieved commercial success under its new name, Super Soaker. [7] Unfortunately, the gun has a single nozzle, a far cry from the Nerf gun, which came with up to 5 nozzles. While it won't affect performance by any chance, it will limit the amount of water blasted.h2>
