More Info on the Nerf Super Soaker DartFire (2017)

Found a listing for the Nerf Super Soaker DartFire on Amazon. Looks like the orange area has a nozzle for water powered by pump-action blasting while the darts launch from their holders, though it is unclear what mechanism powers the darts to launch.  Part of me suspects that the large purple trigger does double-duty to prime and launch darts with each pull, but am not 100% sure.

Update: if I read part of the description sooner, I would have noticed “No priming; just pull the trigger to keep firing darts.” Well, that answers that – trigger does all the work for launching the darts, but that also suggests that these darts won’t fire with much force, either.

Expectations for 2017 (Water Blasters)

Just posted an article outlining my expectations for water blasters in 2017. Of course, I did a little bit of historical review to set the scene, but the signs so far unfortunately do not look too promising for performance water blasters this year. Granted, I still primarily focus only on what the Water Warriors and Nerf Super Soaker brands are doing. While I’ve looked at other brands as well, none of the smaller brands have put out anything intriguing enough for me to want to add it to the iSoaker.com review database.

Nerf Super Soaker History page updated

Finally got around to updating the Nerf Super Soaker History page on iSoaker.com to get it caught up for 2016. Yes, it’s already 2017 – I could list a bunch of excuses, but I figure better to get things mostly up-to-date. Regarding 2017 Nerf Super Soaker models, in light that things have changed between initial images and actual availability, I am waiting to see what actually makes it into stores before adding those models to the list.

Given all the snow we’ve received recently (though it got warmer yesterday), I got inspired. Please enjoy iSoak’D 159 for all its twistedness.

Anyone game for making a real-life one and sharing a picture?
