Families are going wild for these water guns, and they're perfect for pool parties or a heat wave

With scorching weather upon us, everyone's scrambling to stock up on good water guns, Super Soakers, and water pistols. But here's the thing; they're not all created equal, and some provide more of a disappointing dribble than a deluge.
That's why I've trawled through countless user reviews and called upon our knowledge here covering the best water guns to bring you the ultimate summer selection of Super Soakers and water pistols. If you want cheap but high-quality water guns that are going to delight rather than dampen spirits, the internet seems to agree that these are the ones to get.
Personally speaking, I'm a big fan of the Super Soaker Hydro Frenzy. Although I prefer the sci-fi SpyraGo overall, the Frenzy is far cheaper and ups the fun-factor with two flexible tubes that can be locked into place for traditional firing or let loose to soak everyone in your path. That's what water guns should be, to me; a whole lot of silly fun. As it so happens, these other recommendations have that in spades.

I've been writing about games in one form or another since 2012, but these days you'll find me managing GamesRadar+'s tabletop gaming and toy coverage (I spend my time here handling everything from board game reviews to the latest Lego news). I've also been obsessed with Warhammer since the 1990s, and love nothing more than running tabletop RPGs like D&D as a Dungeon Master.
