SPYRA – SpyraLX WaterBlaster Red (Non-Electronic) – Super Powerful, Rapid-Fire, Instant Action Premium Water Gun

Haven’t use it yet as it’s a birthday present but looks like as expected. Fast delivery

Mucho mejor de lo esperado, llenar la se hace un poco pesado pero eres el mas chulo del barrio

買ってすぐ壊れて加圧できなくなり、保証で交換してもらったが、次の夏に使おうと思ったらまた同じところが壊れて加圧できなくなってしまいました。 自分の友人も同じところが壊れて、また同じところが壊れたら嫌なのでその時に差額を払って電動に変えてもらったそうですが、今回２回目で１年超えているとのことで有償の修理しかできないといわれました。 これ修理したところで来年また壊れるはずなので 絶対買うべきではありません！

Having lived through the Super Soaker golden years as a kid I was happy to see there was finally another company trying to do some innovation in this area. The first rechargable versions seemed cool, but the price and them containing a battery put me off buying one. Enter the Spyra LX: fully mechanical and with performance that - according to other reviewers - comes close it's predecessors! Delivered in a few days, I filled it up and instantly tried it out: as I had seen how easy usage of this thing was. Right? Well, I was immediately certain I had to return it: it was leaking, I couldn't get it to fill up again after the first round, it would sometimes not fire and it would incidentally blast out one big jet of water. Conclusion: pretty disappointed! But wait, wasn't there a manual of some kind? Well yes. And after scanning that and trying it out a bit longer I have the following list of need-to-know information lined-up for y'all: - if you can't get it to suck up water: pull out the lever, hold the trigger and push down on the lever; it should start filling up again (this is in the manual) - if you submerge the gun past the indication, water will fill the leftover empty space inside the gun through a hole at the bottom of the muzzle; leading you to falsely believe it's leaking like crazy when you subsequently try and use it (this sure seems like a design flaw that will result in lots of unnecessary returns for Spyra) - if you go and refill until it starts making a screeching sound, it'll probably give you a weird single big blast of water the first time you fire it (so stop at the 100% marker instead) - after pulling the trigger you need to allow it to return to its original position before pulling it again After learning the above it all worked like a charm! It feels sturdy, it shoots a nice distance, it's precise and this version even provides rapid-fire that appears limited only by how fast you can pull the trigger. And even though the gun is too big for him to run around with, my son (who is barely 5 years old) is able to refill and use it. Under my supervision of course, as it's a pretty powerful blast of water which might do some damage when handled incorrectly. Having said all that, my final advise is simple: get this gun and start blasting!

My first Spyra was the Spyra 3, and I was impressed, not only with its durability, but continued reliability, despite my apprehensions about the reliability of electric water guns. So I got curious about this all-mechanical Marvel. I can clearly feel the window as well as the print numbers to indicate how much water there is in the tank. Like the previous one, I was able to figure out how to use it without even reading the manual. If anything, this one seems slightly more powerful than the electric version, but on the other hand, the electric one can shoot a bit more water. So it’s a real tossup at this point, which is better. But there is a right way to use these things to prevent leaking. First of all, as so, many reviewers have said, it’s best only to dip the lower part of the front in the water, not the entire front of the gun. And just as I figured, pulling the pump handle in, sucks water in, while pushing it out as air to pressurize the tank. But it’s amazing how much one trigger press can push when it comes to a water blast. But I attribute this to the spring mechanism as well. But to all of those who complain about it leaking, there is a right way to use these things, and the numerous drain holes are actually ingenious. They prevent mold from growing inside the gun.
