We have to add additionally support the water tank otherwise it will rip off the stand with the weight of the water.

Cut a section of pipe with 2 x 45 degree angles again, this one will fit between the bottle and the pressure chamber mount.

cut a notch out for the cap of the pressure chamber to fit in

drill a hole through the top on both sides big enough for some of the soft pipe to fit through

loop some soft pipe over the bottle and trough the holes in the support and hot glue in place, this will act as a belt to stop the bottle jumping about if your running.

Now hot glue it in place on the pressure chamber support.

Cut a short section of pipe slightly larger than your hand, this will become the hand grip on the pump handle.

Cut some grooves in the pipe on both sides this will give you extra grip if you have wet hands.

Cut 2 discs out of scrap wood the same diameter as the inside of the pipe, drill a hole through each one slightly larger than the handle of the pump.

Hot glue the discs in each end of the pipe and then slide over the pump handle and hot glue it to the grip.

That’s it you’re done, it’s a working super soaker, you will need to check it for leaks but other than that it’s ready to go!

you could stick some thin plastic or ply to the sides to cover up the workings and make it look more like a gun, maybe spray paint it black would look cool.
