Fancy high-tech water gun isn't for child's play
Tired of ordinary, janky water guns?
Well, inventor Sebastian Walter of Munich, Germany has made something for you. He's shaking up the water gun industry with his high-tech Spyra One. He and his team's $133 water gun isn't exactly for child's play though.
The Spyra One doesnt shoot a stream of water; it shoots precisely measured bursts of water bullets that the company claims can clearly and accurately hit targets up to 25 feet away.Theres an integrated pump that lets you refill the tank just by dunking the front of the Spyra One into a pool, lake, or bucket of water. It takes about 14 seconds to refill. Theres no pumping, either. That same pump keeps the tank pressurized so youre able to start spraying water. But things get truly ridiculous with my favorite feature: a display that features a digital ammo counter that feels more at home on a futuristic rifle from Halo than an actual water gun.
...the Spyra One also features a rechargeable battery, which the company says should last for around 45 fill cycles before youll need to recharge.
When you do need to juice up the Spyra One, youll do so by plugging in a wait, that cant be right a standard USB-C cable...
The Spyra One isn't available in stores, only through Kickstarter. So far, over 2,000 backers are willing to wait until August 2019 (or longer) for their fancy high-tech water gun, well surpassing the original $58,050 goal.
Thanks, Mike!
