You are looking for an alternative to the pool? Then a water gun is just the thing. A lot of fun is pre-programmed and the cooling down is really good on hot summer days. Due to the many different models, the water gun can be optimally adapted to taste and age.
In our checklist you will find all the important information that you should consider when buying. In addition, the product recommendations will help you find the best water gun.
- As a rule, water pistols are suitable for children from the age of 3.
- More extensive models are more often designated for children from 6 years.
- For very young children from 1-2 years, very simple foam models may also be suitable.
- The more water your water gun can hold, the less often you have to reload. However, this also increases the weight.
- A good water gun should be able to hold about 600 ml of water to guarantee the best possible fun. Models with less capacity are also available, but often need to be refilled, which can be perceived as annoying.
- If you have small children who don’t want to or can’t carry that much weight, a smaller gun that holds around 150 ml will also suffice.
- For outstanding water fights, it’s best to choose a water gun with over 1 l capacity. Some models can even hold over 1.6 l of water.
- Highly crafted water guns can have a range of up to 10 meters. Such models are suitable mainly for slightly older children from 4-5 years.
- If your kids are younger(1-4 years), a simple model that can only spray 2-3 meters will also suffice.
- As a rule of thumb, the larger the tank and the range of your water gun, the higher the quality and durability of the gun.
- Cheap foam guns may not last as long.
- Many models offer multiple spray systems. For example, you can spray a clear stream or wide and have extra fun.
- Therefore, look for an adjustable nozzle.
- If you buy a larger model, make sure you have a shoulder strap to carry the heavy load for a long time.

FAQ Water Guns
The longest range is 20 m. Such models work with high pressure. Super Soaker, for example, comes into question.
The water gun should be adapted to the age. Thus, water guns with smaller filling capacity are better for smaller children. Otherwise, high-quality material and a long range is important.
Each model works differently. In some, water is sucked up by pulling up and sprayed out by squeezing. Others are filled up and only need to be pushed with a button.
Look for instructions on the Internet. Among other things, you will need a plastic tube, glue, screws, washers and a cordless screwdriver.
