Thanks everybody this was fun. I have to get back to work. I’ll try to hop back on later tonight to answer a few more questions. Also, the title of this post is wrong. The original Super Soaker didn’t hit shelves until 1991 (after being rebranded from original launch as the Power Drencher in 1989). This picture was likely mid 90s.
感谢大家，这太有意思了。我得回去干活儿了。今晚晚些时候我会尽量再上来回答几个问题。
还有，这篇帖子的标题写错了。最初的“超级水枪”（Super Soaker）直到1991年才上架（它在1989年刚推出时叫“强力浸透者”Power Drencher，后来才改名）。这张照片大概是90年代中期的。

Thank you! It’s awesome meeting people who helped our hot summer days back then! I would have probably sat on top of sprinklers and have been bored out of my mind if it wasn’t for you.

Man, when I was maybe, MAYBE 8 years old, I was upset that my Super Soaker needed to be refilled so often. So I took my school backpack and one of those 5 gallon water jugs, rummaged through my dad's tools/supplies, and piped up a 5 gallon backpack water jug to my Super Soaker. I RULED the water fights for 2 summers! Nevermind that I couldn't really move, that was a lot of weight for a kid. My dad was a little pissed that I was rummaging through his tools and scraps, but after that we had something to bond over - creating. I just want to thank you for helping create childhood memories, and giving me a place to start on creative engineering. That is my first memory of thinking outside the box, and I still look back on it when I'm trying to make something work better in regards to what I want.
天呐，大概在我 MAYBE 8 岁的时候，我就因为我的 Super Soaker 水枪总得加水而感到超级心烦。于是我拿上我的书包，装进一个 5 加仑的水桶，在老爸的工具箱/杂物堆里翻了个底朝天，硬是给我的水枪接了一套 5 加仑的“背包式供水系统”。那两个夏天，我在打水仗时简直就是王者！别管我当时其实根本挪不动步子——对个小屁孩来说那玩意儿实在太沉了。我爸当时对我翻乱他的工具和零件有点火大，但从那之后，我们就有了一项共同爱好——搞创造。
我想真心感谢你帮助我留下了这些童年回忆，并为我开启了创意工程的大门。那是我人生中第一次尝试“跳出框架”思考，直到现在，当我试图改良某样东西来达到我想要的效果时，我还会回想起那段经历。

My question is, why aren't people making them themselves? The patent expired (which presumably means it's publicly available now?) and we live in an age of 3d printing. Shouldn't someone have started 3d printing supersoakers by now?
我的疑问是，为啥没人自己动手做呢？专利都过期了（这意味着现在应该可以公开使用了，对吧？），而且我们现在都身处3D打印时代了。按理说，早该有人开始3D打印超级水枪了吧？

I had so many different types growing up in the 90s. We would get tired and trade friends for theirs. I always thought they were in a box at my dads and I would recover them when I had kids but I just found out they're long gone. Luckily I went to a garage sale way out in the boonies and found this exact Super Soaker that he is carrying and it works with a minor leak. 5$ bucks for a piece of my childhood is beyond worth it.
我小时候在90年代玩过各种各样的水枪。玩累了我们还会跟朋友交换着玩。我一直以为它们被收在我爸那儿的盒子里，想着等我有了孩子就能把它们找出来，结果刚发现它们早就没了。幸运的是，我在一个特别偏僻的旧货甩卖上居然找到了他手里拿的这款一模一样的Super Soaker，虽然有点小漏水但还能用。花5块钱买回一段童年回忆，简直太值了。

What the actual fuck? They don't make *super soakers* any more, of all things? I just looked on Amazon and sure enough, there are like 4 branded nerf water guns with the super soaker name and they all look like absolute garbage. No wonder kids only play on their phones and tablets these days, there are no cool toys left for them (not an exaggeration, toys for kids today don't hold a candle to what existed during the 80s and 90s).
这他妈到底什么鬼？居然连“超级水枪”（Super Soaker）这种东西现在都不做了？我刚去亚马逊查了一下，果然，那上面挂着Super Soaker牌子的Nerf水枪也就那么四款，而且看起来全是一堆垃圾。
难怪现在的孩子只知道玩手机和平板，剩下的全是些没劲的玩具（这可不是夸张，现在的童年玩具跟80、90年代那些比起来，简直连给人家提鞋都不配）。

I think Hasbro would have to pay huge fees to Johnson if they use Johnson’s patented systems in the guns. So they just stopped producing them. Which really sucks. There just are no quality water guns on the market

You're probably right. I just looked up current generation pressurized water guns and they (a) basically don't exist, and (b) the ones that do are all pretty much the same cheap looking guns probably imported for $3 a piece from China. This must extend in every direction. I have a 12 year old kid and visits to toy stores have become more and more depressing over the past decade+ (longer, as I was never a stranger to Toys R Us for my own purposes lol). It's all crap. It's shocking how we went from the toy golden age to absolute toy wasteland in like 15 years (and are deep into that wasteland now).
你说得大概率没错。我刚查了下现在市面上的加压水枪，它们要么（a）基本上就不存在，要么（b）即便有，也全都是那种看起来廉价得要命的货，估计都是从中国进口的，进价也就三块钱一把。
这种情况肯定在各个领域都一样。我家有个12岁的孩子，过去这十来年里，逛玩具店变得越来越让人心灰意冷了（时间更久远一点的话，毕竟我自己以前也是 Toys R Us 的常客，哈哈）。现在的玩具全是垃圾。短短15年里，我们从玩具的黄金时代跌落到如今这片彻头彻尾的荒原，这简直让人震惊（而且我们现在已经深陷这片荒原之中了）。

The CPS line was god-tier. Those Mother-effers produced actual recoil and left your enemies with stinging red rashes. Heaven forbid you fill them unlawful things like boiling water or gas.

In our water gun wars those were basically RPGs or fixed emplacements (the bucket of water). While the super soakers were everything from machine pistols (the 20) up to light mgs (the 100 or 200). The 50 was our AK
在我们的水枪大战里，那些注射器式的水枪基本就相当于RPG火箭筒或者是固定火力点（比如那桶水）。而Super Soaker系列里，小的型号（像20）就是冲锋手枪，大的型号（像100或200）就是轻机枪。至于那个50型号，那就是我们的AK。

when I was nine, at an annual town festival, I won a super soaker that was nearly as tall as me when stood on its end. it had three settings and a strap like a guitar because it got pretty heavy when at capacity. at that same festival, my little sister won a gallon of windshield washer fluid that my dad confiscated before it ended up as ammo.
我九岁那年，在一次镇上的年度庆典上，我赢到了一把超级水枪，竖起来都快跟我一样高了。那玩意儿有三种档位，还配了根像吉他背带一样的带子，毕竟灌满水后确实挺沉的。就在同一个庆典上，我妹妹赢了一加仑挡风玻璃清洗液，我爸在它变成（孩子们的）“弹药”之前给没收了。

I had a first generation model. I bought it totally by chance. Back then, the battery operated water guns we're really big, but didn't work very well. Batteries ran out and they didn't shoot particularly hard or far. I'd bought this neon orange and blue monster that ran for like 30 minutes on batteries and the thing wasn't sealed properly and water logged the electrical components. So I returned it and my mom suggested the supersoaker as it had the batteries. I was dubious, but the 35 ft distance sold me. Dude.... These things we're like nothing my friends had even seen. It was like having a hose with a nozel on it. Until everyone else caught up and got their own, I was wrecking people.
我以前有个第一代模型。我买它纯属偶然。那时候，电池供电的水枪特别火，但其实挺难用的。电池没一会儿就耗光了，而且射程和威力也不怎么样。我当时买了个霓虹橙加蓝色的怪物水枪，电池撑死也就玩个30分钟，而且那玩意儿密封性特别烂，水全都渗进电子元件里了。所以我把它退了，我妈建议我买 Super Soaker（超级水枪），因为它不需要电池。我当时还挺怀疑的，但看到它有35英尺（约10.6米）的射程，我瞬间就被种草了。老兄……那玩意儿简直是我朋友们见过最牛逼的东西。就像手里攥着个带喷嘴的消防水管一样。在其他人也都跟风买上之前，我简直是乱杀。

Still my favorite thing to do with a super soaker was to point it at the ground, pump it until the seals almost burst, and then loosen the tank until it shot off like a bottle rocket
