My twins (10) have large water pistols desired to be able to provide proper battles can. This Super Soaker are great and have a mega large tank (2.5 liters !!) Due to the large water tank of the game is enormous, because a water fight not after 2-3 splashes is already over. The coverage is good (about 8-10 meters) depending on how well pumping before. So far, my boys have a lot of fun with the water pistol and are always well equipped with water fights with the neighborhood kids. The weight is of course not negligible when tank is full, but for children 6 in order.
