    I just thought it would be cool to hook up a compressed air tank to a super soaker somehow and make the water compressed so you wouldnt have to pump and it'd have a wicked hard stream.

    Be kinda cool i think

    i dont think the plastic could handle the output of most compressed air systems.

        you could make a metal chamber/internals.

        there could be short wuick bursts of water just like shooting paintballs

            Super Soaker triggers do not actuate any sort of valve. The trigger is a spring loaded chunk of plastic. When the trigger is at rest, a hunk of plastic merely is pushed against the tubing that the water is shooting out of.

            I've tried even with low pressure gas to do this but all it did was fire when depressed. The spring is not strong enough for those pressures.

            What you could do is use a rock reg and bring an air source's pressure to around 100psi or so.

            But even that is unsafe. You should never use an air source where it's pressure is greater than the safest pressure of any of the components or seals.

              I think it's called a Fire Extinguisher. The ones we had in my high school were filled with water, we used to chase each other around the gym with them.
