Water Blasters & Water Guns for Kids

About water blasters

Water blasters are pump-action or motorized water guns that soak targets from a built-in reservoir, the centerpiece of summer backyard battles. Range, tank size and refill speed decide who wins; a blaster that refills in 2 seconds beats a bigger one that takes 20. Foam grips and lighter tanks keep smaller arms in the game longer. Compact blasters suit kids 4-8, while tweens 9-12 gravitate to high-capacity models with 30+ foot range. Toddlers 1-3 do better with simple squirters. House rules help: no shots at faces, and empty tanks fully after play so nothing mildews inside. Summer toys guide →
