Good gun, but not by yesterday's standards. Jun 14, 2006
By Nick Winterbauer Alright, since I feel like there has been much confusion about the newer soakers, (2002 through 2006), I thought I would clear everything up, since I am a veteran of the soaker world and have some 50 soakers of all types. Super Soaker was bought by Hasbro, and since then, the guns have slowly declined in power, and have started using gimmics. Guns of the past reached 45 feet and up in range, but now hitting 35 feet is supposed to be awesome. Soakers of the past didn't need gimmics, because of their superiority to everything else. Now, those are the only things soakers have left.
I can't say these kids posting reviews are being dumb, because they aren't. They most likely have never even seen older soakers, let alone use them, so they don't know what they are missing out on. I was around then, so I know how to post a credible review. Now, onto this years soakers, and their flaws.
Max-Infusion Flash Flood: It doesn't get much range (30-35ft), and has a weak main nozzle that rivals the original ancient Super Soakers. The "Flash Flood" nozzle isn't a thick drenching stream, but more like that weak nozzle on a hose that no sane person would use, as it is neither accurate, nor able to saturate anything. The triggers also break a lot since Hasbro decided to use a new "Max-Distance" style trigger.
Max-Infusion Defender: The best gun this year, it is tough, and ready. It gets the best range (~35 feet) but has a rather small nozzle. The awkward trigger and grip actually feel really good to ones hand.
Max-Infusion Overload: It has a slightly larger Max-Infusion pack, but it still holds only a little water. Compared to the guns of today, it doesn't even hold much. The gun is a pistol, so it runs out of pressure fast, and it becomes rather annoying pumping the pump as it uses really short strokes. Range is okay. (30-35 feet)
Max-Infusion Arctic Shock: It gets low range (30ft), holds little water, and the cold shots are never very cold unless you let the ice pack sit in the gun for a long time. Even then, it doesn't do much, and you can get colder water by merely putting ice cube in your gun if you havn't figured it out already.
Helix: It uses a piston (like a pump) to push water out. It gets varied range, from weak (25ft) to sad (30ft), depending on your strength, and even then you can't aim the dual streams. This gun serves no other purpose in battle other than making people laugh at you, where you should then whip out your older soaker and drench them.
Vaporizer: Like the Heliz, but has one stream. It can get 40 feet worth of range if you really try, and is a great backup if you don't already have one.
Liquidator: Holds barely any water, but gets decent distance (35ft). It's pump is a little short, and the stream isn't very potent, but it fills the role of the pistol well.
Oozinator: Actually gets decent range, but looks funky. The ooze is weird and pricey, so only get it as a gift for a little kid, because it is just about useless.
All in all, the only good guns are the Defender and the Vaporizer. I would only reccomend those two, and only for someone that doesn't already have a good soaker already. I hope this thorough review solves any questions you had about Super Soaker.

The best of the super soakers Jul 17, 2006

I have almost all the Max-infusion super soakers, and this is the best. It has both a regular stream and the flood stream. The flood stream will get someone really wet, but they have to be about 10-15 feet in front of you. The regular stream shoots about 30-35 feet.
I would suggest getting the shoulder water pack as you're only good for about two 'flood' shots with the standard tank. With the 50 oz. water pack you can get about 5 'flood' shots.

Fun - for a bit Feb 06, 2007
By M. M. Jackson I bought these for my siblings, 4, 6 and 8, for Christmas.
They are big guns. The 4 year old has a hard time, but manages to have fun. The other two have no problem pushing the trigger, but doing the flash flood function (which is cool, like a blast from a garden hose on steroids all of a sudden, all at once) is difficult for them. You have to pull it back quick and it does have some resistance that even I (25 yr old male) have a little trouble with.
The spraying is fun, and it generally does stay strong until the end, but after giving in to the temptation to flash flood a couple of times, you are out of water and out of pressure.
Another thing: the kids can barely pump these things to the degree they would need to. I am no hulk, but I pump these things as many times as I can before getting resistance and it does not last the whole tank of water.
The good thing though is that these are consistently attractive toys, however difficult it may be to keep them pumped, filled and ready for play.
I would highly recommend getting the water expansion bag thing (lets you have more water over your shoulder).
All in all, we got this from amazon for half off regular price during the holidays (some weird one day only thing) and for that (seven bucks) it was worth it by far.
We like, really like, but do not love, these guns.

Interesting idea but no cigar Jun 26, 2006
By Snakecharmer1222 This "shotgun-like" super soak works well at close range. But it won't win a spitting contest! The launching range of this soaker would make Evil Knievel die of laughter. Added to that, I've been reading other reviews about some of these "Flash Floods" breaking down or leaking after a few days of use and it is true. Mine began to leak and the trigger broke afterwards. All in all, this is a great gun in originality, but compared to other models, it's obsolete. Buy at your own risk!

It is a great soaker, same as last years though Feb 11, 2006 I have the normal flash flood, and it is great! This is the exact same water gun, though. The only difference is the coloring. I am not sure if it works with the new back pack though. The normal nozzle is great, but the flash flood nozzle is very good. It holds a very impressive 40 oz. of water. If you have enough money, I would buy it! Also, you should look at the Aquapack Devastator.
