This Inflatable Pool Float Tank Has an Integrated Water Cannon

What better way to let everybody know who rules the pool than with a $150 Pool Punisher (affiliate link), an inflatable pool float that looks like a tank and has an integrated pump-style water cannon that can shoot up to 50-feet. Nobody trying to sunbathe by the pool will be safe this summer! Also, my wife is probably going to kill me when I spray her when she’s trying to read.

Get two Pool Punishers for the ultimate in water cannon pool battles! How can you tell who wins? Whoever drinks less pool water. Obviously, I’ve already lost because I was thirsty.

When I was a kid we didn’t have Pool Punishers. We didn’t even have pool noodles. Shoot, we didn’t even have pools, we played in a pond with catfish. They never lost at playing Marco Polo either, I can tell you that. They did lose at not being dinner though.

DIY Splatoon Inkzooka Replica is Ready for Summer Turf Wars

Niconico member tono2 made replicas of the Inkzooka, Splat Charger and Splat Bomb from Splatoon. But since his Splat Charger is a prettied up water gun and his Splat Bomb is just a prop, the highlight of his tono2’s showcase is his hilariously powerful Inkzooka.

The replica has an impressive range of about 82 feet, launching water with such force that it knocks the wielder onto his butt. The downside is that it’s nearly 6 feet-long and weighs 33 pounds.

So, what’s taking you so long, Nintendo and Hasbro?

RPG-7 Bottle Launcher Will Eat Your Nerf Guns for Breakfast

Bottle rockets are usually made in the likeness of rocket ships. The RPG-7′s ammo on the other hand, while still made of a bottle, imitates a different kind of rocket: the weaponized kind.

Made by Japanese company Maruda, the RPG-7 PET Bottle Launcher is meant to be used only with 1.5L soda bottles that have been filled with water. To give you an idea of its potency, when shot at a 35º angle the toy can launch a bottle filled with 0.6L of water up to a distance of 35m (approx. 115ft). That’s a vague idea, so here’s a more concrete one:

The point is, don’t aim this at people or there will be blood.

Maruda also says that there is a significant recoil when firing the launcher, which I guess adds realism but could also add accidents.

Currently it seems like the launcher is available only in Japan, but there are ways around that. Maruda is selling the RPG-7 for ¥28, 350 (~$361 USD). You can also order individual parts on Maruda’s website, including a cone warhead for the bottle.
