HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

The Motivation:
Every year at SHS we have the "Senior Assassination," in which all participating seniors are given a target to be "killed" with a watergun. When you kill someone, you get their target. If you are sprayed by your target in defense, you are out for 24 hours.

Not content with the power of traditional super soakers, I intend to build one.


History of super soakers (click for fullsize)
I can see three supersoakers which I have owned on this chart, which is pretty cool and somewhat irrelevant. (All from the 2k series, BTW)



The Weapon:
Anyways, this page has a list of tutorials for building a homebrew supersoaker.

The APH
Models range from the fairly simple (yet powerful) APH, which has a range of 55 feet and surpasses all retail guns in range, output, and water capacity:




The SupercannonII
...To the SupercannonII, with a maximum range of 70 ft:





I'll probably make the APH; it has the most output (50 oz/sec) and has more than enough range. Plus it's the simplest to make.

I saw this on CSI today.

Seriously? Did they kill someone with it or summat?

One of the guys set up a fake office to lure his targets for the game to him. He set up a movie audition for his target, made the guy act out the part, then hit him with a water balloon. The guy was mad because he thought it was a serious audition, so tried to scare the guy by shooting him with a blank. Shot him close range and it ended up killing him.
Fare Game

Thats a good episode on CSI NY, Im going to check the website out because i've never seen a supersoaker soak up to 70 feet :O

Heh, check out this bad boy:

well your certainly not trying to keep it covert are you?

Heh, I'll probably make the APH model, which is relatively small.

Wow that guy certainly does look pretty bad ass. Don't fuck with him and his backpack sized watergun.

How does your school get away with that? If that happened back where I'm from I'm pretty sure there'd be about a million parents crying over the implied violence.

Oh, the school actually tried to stop it, but we just added the clause that the school is a safe zone.

If you are the target, everyone in the entire school, whether they are playing or not, will be out for 24 hours with that thing

as awesome as it would be to use one of those monsters, it would honestly be easier to just get a puny squirt gun from a dollar store, so you can stealthily take out your target.

The problem with a puny squirt gun is that you get a squirt that goes 8 feet versus a 1/4 inch stream that goes 55 feet.

So I bought the parts today, all I'm missing is a water bladder. Lowe's > Home Depot B-T-Dubs. It ran about $60, but it would have been cheaper if I had skipped HD and gone straight to Lowe's.

Sounds gay.

What did you just say?

Sounds like something I'd do if I was still 6.

Seriously, this is like putting lemon juice in supersoakers.

I had most of the guns made in 1993 - 1998

Any CPS 2000s? They were supposed to be the best. Pristine ones sell for $250 on eBay.

I had a CPS 2000 back when they first came out. I used that thing so much that years later it eventually broke. Thing was fucking BAD ASS. I felt like such a BAMF bringing it to the water fights on the street. It was like heavy artillery for water fights. lol

BTW, it was really expensive brand new.
