Road Test: Spyra Two
Run for cover, fools! What we have here is the Spyra Two, the world’s most advanced water gun.
What is it? Run for cover, fools! It’s the world’s most advanced water gun.
What if we choose to stand and fight you instead? Then prepare for a proper soaking: this electrically powered sucker doesn’t fire a piddly stream, but individual shots, like water bullets. There’s more, too. You wanna hear it?
Shoot. Wait! I don’t mean shoot, I mean go on. Keep the trigger squeezed and it’ll prime a Power Shot, with three times the hitting power. The tank holds enough for 22 single shots – effective range, about 10m – and I only have to stick the muzzle underwater and hold the trigger to automatically reload.
Um, and that little LCD screen? That’s the Tactical Display – it tells me the battery status, the number of shots left, that sort of thing.
We surrender. Ha! As Sun Tzu says in The Art of War, the supreme art of war is… wait, where are you going?
