I was wondering, since i'm having a water fight, how do you cap it up so water doesn't come out if you put it under little amounts of pressure?

its cooler if u use a 2 liter bottle it holds more water and sometimes shots father

i did for like 5 years to squirt water into my mouth

ya me to i did that at my school for football cuz my couch dos not want us sharing water so i did this so we would not have to put our mouths on the bottle
May 10, 2009. 6:52 AMdombeef says:
Yeah cool!
Apr 4, 2009. 11:04 AMsharlston says:
you could make a smaller hole which would make more pressure to make it more powerful

So simple! Nice! I'm so dumb that I even haven't thought of that!
Sep 5, 2008. 8:00 AMcsmiler says:
this is really simple but cool...used to play with them a few years ago... if you blow into them,with the bottle upside down(water to the cap),and immidiately shoot ...you would get a lot more force
Jul 16, 2008. 12:58 PMtomtrollkiller says:
i squirted it at my girlfrend and she took out a realwater gun and shot it at me.We were both laughing.
Aug 6, 2007. 11:21 PMJames (pseudo-geek) says:
brilliant. I'll make one right now lol
Jul 31, 2006. 5:58 PMlakeguido10 says:
wat happens wen the water level gets too low?
Aug 6, 2007. 11:21 PMJames (pseudo-geek) says:
then when you squeeze it, air comes out instead of water. refill it. if your complaining about a "real" squirtgun, then go look at my instructable on how to make one out of a disposable fire extinguisher, its mroe than a real one lol, hold way mroe water and shoots way farther.

FIGURE IT OUT!!
Aug 10, 2007. 7:15 PMElectrodeMike says:
im not being mean to you its just that question about filling it up
Feb 9, 2007. 6:18 PMBob7k says:
lol, simple, you could even make different patterns on the caps and make them changable, like make a whole bunch of little tiny holes to make a shotgun style pattern, and use another one which is a small hole in the center, stuff like that, lol

this would be a 'cheap toy' when grandkids come to visit, then throw away after the visit. Of course an outside toy, i hope!

whoopededoo, a water gun how very exciting. Now, this is intelligence in its purest form.
Mar 31, 2007. 5:06 PMwingman246 says:
is this supposed to be sarcasm? if it is, um... it doesn't work very well in unspoken form... if its not sorry

Why is everyone so mean, This is an effective simple Gun, espeacialy if you have a 8 year old Brother and dont like to get in trouble
Jul 29, 2006. 10:45 PMassembly_required says:
or you could get a squirt bottle... same concept?
Feb 9, 2007. 6:19 PMBob7k says:
kinda, only this one recycles used waterbottles whare otherwise, they would have just been trashed
Aug 30, 2006. 10:15 AMserp says:
i hope you kidding
Feb 9, 2007. 6:16 PMBob7k says:
i guess he didnt think its worthy of its own article, like the "how to operate a water faucet" article. i saw these at the fair, and i used a push pin to make it, i find you get different patterns if you swirl the pushpin around the hole to bend the plastic, you get a steadier beam, and if you do it from the inside, it gets even more steady. lol, try multiple holes!
Dec 16, 2006. 11:17 AMSunShine.1111 says:
there is another way without water and is much more fun because it hurts alot more... all you do is empty the bottle, close the cap and twist the whole bottle until you can feel your fingers then twist off the cap and it will go flying like 20 feet and if you hit someone close range it will bruise them :) have fun if you want me to do a instructable on it plz aks me
Nov 1, 2006. 3:01 AMbrazilian says:
It works with all trademark of water?
Oct 31, 2006. 3:32 AMXxyangxX says:
Jus fill a waterbottle to it max...place it on the floor...stand on one leg above the bottle...kick open the bottle cap n watch the cap fly...if cant try unscrew it a little..
