I've has this for over a year, and I'm very happy with it. But understand how it works to be sure it's the right water gun for you. Bottom line: for age 10 and over, and those who are okay with pump action only.

1. Pump action. This gun works by pumping the long-armed front handle to build air pressure and immediately shoot. Which means that you get instant soaking power as soon as you've filled it. but if you want a gun that you pump many times to build up air pressure, and later use a trigger to shoot as needed, then this is not the right gun for you.

2. Distance: On first pump, distance may only be 10 ft. or so. Distance increases with subsequent pumps. By the third pump you'll be shooting a high-volume blast 20-25 ft.

3. Capacity: Large reservoir is enough to thoroughly soak multiple opponents. Reservoir has large opening for quick refill.

4. Durability: So far so good, but... In general, it's solid. Like another reviewer, I bought this for long distance discipline to keep the dogs from barking at the fence, and for this purpose it looks like it will last forever. The kids next door borrow it all the time, and there's been no damage from several drops onto pavement. But: the plastic pump shaft feels a little flimsy and flexes when extended; with adult use it's fine. With careless kid use the pump shaft has bent a little, and I won't be surprised if the shaft breaks this summer. If and when that happens, I'll come back and downgrade the durability rating.

When I purchased these super soakers I had a feeling they would be like a K-Mart special or something less useful than they are. Boy do they shoot. We have 3 cats that have a tendancy to try to claw the carpet. They do not when they see the soaker. They just sit there and look but we use them on each other.

This is a decent, well priced soaker gun. There is no pressure reservoir, however as soon as you start pumping the water stream doesn't start until a critial pressure is reached.
It is a little hard for children under 8 to aim and pump. Also can get a little heavy. The reservoir holds enough water to get someone soaking.
I got exactly what I had hoped for.

We loved this because it is so easy for the kids to shoot! A lot of them you have to be really strong to get the water out and this has worked great on our street for the 3 and up ages even. It's the one that all the kids go to first!

This water gun shoots about 15', which is adequate but not as described. Large enough resevoir to outlast other water toys.
