check out how damn much this bad boy is going for. this is an authentic 1990 super soaker 50. i want, i drool, i must have.
this was the hot shit in the hot days of child hood. you just couldn’t keep up with those lame lil squirt guns pushing a piss-stream of water a measly two feet.
but this bad boy. oh no.
man, back in the day these things went for like 40 bucks or something. maybe cheaper. i remember getting my very first one back in like 1991. so stoaked. stoaked to get soaked.
i met up with the other kids on the block and drew the line. cross it, and prepare to get damp.
now, this particular one is being listed for auction right now and the seller is asking for 200 bones for this aqua-blaster-from-the-paster. haha daaaamn i wish i had that much so i could get this bad boy.
if you remember back in the day, the 1990’s to be generally exact, summers were hot and we kids needed to get some steam let off and since video games didnt have as many interesting or kid friendly shooter games we went out side on hot days and made the pavement smell like that sweet evaporating summer pavement day would smell. water all over the streets, kids screaming, running around, having a blast. now dont forget about all those other wacky and crazy types of tactical-tear-tossers. like this one, could get you moist from 100 feet away! even this one, which isnt as old or original as the SS-50, is being listed with a 230 buck buy it now request. daaaaaamn. i want it!
and here you see the updated version of the SS100 which was adapted from the SS50 you see above. watching the evolution of these awesome toys is pretty interesting; although i feel there was a de-evolution of these things, and although quality went way up, just look at them now…. not cool. too bad it didnt give you diy ooze packets you can toss in the tank to gross out and destroy your inferior human enemies.
now to whom do we owe gratitude for all the fun and joy propelled from those canons? Lonnie Johnson. a jolly man that without my child hood would have been either dry or limited to peepee shooters and garden hoses.
damn, now here is the water gun of all water guns. the pimped out ss50. as the review says, its still a primitive water gun technology, yet its extremely good at conserving water to get a hundred more splats on your opponent while they get three good irrigation on you and your soggy trousers.
get a closer look at the SS-50
now, i hope something within you compels you to purchase one of these and send it to me so i can be a kid again.
i am envious of this person’s collection…
