Remarks from the Fray:
Slate . . . you should be ashamed.
Let's ignore the fact that squirt guns have an obvious sexual element . . . even without that, we're simply promoting violence, every bit as much as shoot 'em up videogames. Only with water guns you're allowed to practice on live human targets. How sick is that?
I can't think of a more sinister way to inculcate America's youth into the gun culture than to popularize water guns as innocent harmless fun.
In fact, its practice for future street crime or war atrocities.
The excuse for squirting someone unexpectedly ("I just couldn't resist") no longer flies. I reserve the right to choose who, when, and where I will participate in squirting behavior with. its symbolic sexual assault if you don't obtain my consent first.

For the best in water guns, head back 10 years to the days of SuperSoaker 3000. This thing was major artillary! It had 3 settings, one that was small but powerful (it made kids cry when they were hit), a medium for a good duration/spray mixture, and one that was like getting hit with a garden hose! You needed backup because it was huge, and took a bit to pump but nobody could mess with that bad boy.

I was at Toys 'R Us the other day and found the best toy ever. At first, it was a kick foam sword, perfect for beating the crap out of your friends. Then, you could pull the hilt back and launch the top off like a rocket. After that it was a fairly decent water cannon. And all for about ten bucks.
