It has been a long time since we've seen something new and interesting in the world of squirt guns. Hasbro has come up with a new way of keeping extra water ready for quick reloads when you're in the field, trying to soak your children (or parents, as the case may be) as efficiently as possible. With the new line of Super Soaker water guns you don't need to find a house or go inside to a sink: you simply remove your empty magazine and slam a new one in. It's like a squirt gun action film.
There are a number of guns that use the magazines, and the design is pretty cool. You fill the magazine up with water using a wide opening in the front, and close it with a large, easy-to-grasp screw top. It's easy to open, takes seconds to refill, and is simple to close again. There is a string attached to the top that connects to a porous ball inside the magazine, so the cap can't be lost.
There are two openings at the top of the magazine with a pressure-operated stopper. When the magazines are not in a gun, there will be no leakage, no matter how rough you are. The guns don't need any fiddling to get them to accept a new magazine; you can slam it right in there like you are in an action movie.

At fifteen bucks, the cost of four AA batteries and extra magazines ($4) is just the price of superior firepower.
