Pretty sure we had the E9112 and E9116 back in the day. Now I have a legit B92FS but it doesn't squirt water. For work reasons.

Ah, nostalgia. (Don't play with guns!)

I remember them being outperformed by literally any supermarket toy aisle watergun. They ate batteries and had a crappy range, but boy did they look bad-ass to 4th grader me

OMG they were awful!

I still have the OG Super Soaker 2000 with the ¼” nozzle. The one they recalled because or knocks your eye out or whatever?

I've had to rescue it from the bin-slash-garage Sale pile three times since I've been married. Now it lives in my home office locked in the gun safe with a "no touch sneks insid" sign on the door.
