For this week's blog i decided to talk about the design of a super soaker water gun.
Positives:
The size of the water gun allows the water gun to hold a large amount of water. More water is always a plus when it comes to water battles. The blue pump on the bottom of the gun also allows the user to pump in as much force as they want into the next shot before shooting. It can be very effective to have a powerful first shot. While the water gun is shooting the user can continuously pump the gun to make water come out of the gun for a longer period of time which is also helpful.
Negatives:
The size of the gun is also one of the major drawbacks to the gun. Since the gun is so large it can get very heavy for a user to be holding especially when the tank is fully filled with water. Another problem is there is no limit to how much the gun can be pumped. This can lead to unnecessary pumping. Also, once the gun has started shooting the gun cannot be pumped fast enough for water to be released at a continuous pressure. the water power rapidly decreases until the gun is barely pumping out water.
What do you suppose we do then? Design some kind of mobile watergun platform that allows the user to have the benefit of additional firepower without actually having to carry it?
