From small beginnings with single-finger triggers and short-range squirts, water guns have evolved into kid-friendly water blasting bazookas, multi-barreled soakers, and long-range pump-action shooters. The latest inventions hold almost a gallon of water with six nozzle settings and three spray options.
The length and amount of soakage per spray are generally key considerations when choosing a water gun. There are, however, a number of other factors you should take note of to ensure that it is safe, durable, and works effectively.
The great thing about water guns is that they can be used by all ages. From toddlers and tweens to teens and grown-ups, there is a suitable design for every game participant.
The best types for preschoolers and toddlers are those that are lightweight with a small water holding capacity as well as simple triggers. Pump-action guns require more strength, coordination, and water, making them hard for little fingers to use. Kids six years old and older can start using shooters that have larger water holding compartments, double barrels, and small pump-action devices.
The water holding capacity not only makes a difference in the weight of the gun but also in the refill frequency. Some shooters require a refill after every shot. These usually work similarly to a syringe in that they can just be dunked into a pool or bucket of water and the handle is pulled back to suck water in. Once full, the back end is pushed forward to squirt all the water out the front.
Larger units usually have more capacity to hold water, which means you’ll have a good amount of ammo before needing to find a way to refill your gun without getting soaked by your opponent.
Another big factor to consider when choosing a water gun is the shooting range. If you’re hiding behind the trees and aiming at your opponent on the other side of the garden, you want a really good shooting range. It makes it extra fun since you feel like you’re shooting a water gun rather than fencing. The long-range requires a little more power and probably isn’t needed for smaller children. If you’re using the gun to chase away stray cats, a shorter range with an easy trigger-shoot should suffice.
A: Since water guns don’t fire projectiles such as plastic darts or other small objects, they are potentially less prone to causing any injuries or accidents. Small guns are not that powerful and are ideal for kids aged 3 to 5, while children aged 6 and older can generally play safely with a little more power and reach. Water sprayed on the face or eyes can be harmful, so make sure kids know the safety rules when playing. Also, beware of running around in wet areas.
A: A good quality water gun can last throughout your child’s tween years, while smaller, cheaper models may only last for a season. Their durability will depend on how much and in what conditions they have been used, as well as the construction materials.
A: Children from the age of 2 or 3 years can play with water guns safely. However, the size and style of the gun will largely impact the age suitability. Small guns that require a simple trigger to be pulled are great for little fingers. Older children love double barrels, far-reaching shooting ranges, and pump-action designs. Check that the toys are made with high-quality, non-toxic materials.
