Hey everyone! I'm u/ZaxZone, moderator at r/supersoaker.

This subreddit is officially reopened!!

What to Post:

This community is dedicated to the discussion and showcasing of Super Soaker pressurized air water guns; the Super Soaker was invented by Lonnie Johnson in 1989 and popularized throughout the 1990s.

All Super Soakers are welcome whether from the original Larami series or the later/current Hasbro models. Competitor and knock-off brands are also welcome here.

Let’s show off our armories and make this a great resource for collectors, modders, and everyone in between!

And remember "Wetter is Better!"

My ancient APH homemade designs still kicking,

Agitator IV is a dual nozzle water cannon repurposing the fill valve at the rear as a 2" diameter firing nozzle when the soaker is rotated 180 degrees to a shoulder firing position.

Megalodon is a pool siphon air chamber gun based on the Max D series of soakers. Long story short, while my kids are topping off their pool guns, the pool is my reservoir

Long story short, I've been itching to make a homemade CPS gun using a corrosion resistant all metal construction, but now with a few 3d printers at my disposal I'm thinking about revisiting this idea and have pulled out the firing valve I've set aside for this day. Keeping vintage CPS soakers functioning in 2026 is not ideal for their longevity.

So I guess what I'm asking is, are home made frowned upon here or is there any interest in sharing my progress designing a new CPS Homemade?

Edit: FOUND IT! It's the Supersoaker Aquashock Hydroblitz. I had one as a kid!

I read about these maybe here or on the discord a few years ago. The novelty of shooting a sphere of water was super interesting, so I got this brand "new" from ebay. Pretty pricey, but so unique.

I opened it and tested it- The crank/firing mechanism is loud as hell, but amongst the sounds of screaming children it probably isn't as noticeable. It truly does shoot a ball of water.

Stay soaked!
