You think blasters like the CPS 2000 or Supercannon II are the most powerful water blasters ever?
THINK AGAIN!!!
That's from when they were intentionally flooding the Grand Canyon. For envronmental purposes I believe. What do you suppose the output on each of those things is? 10,000 gallons per second?
(Sidenote: I wasn't exactly sure where to put this. I thought about Off-Topic, but since it's technically a giant water blaster, I decided to put it here.)

Wow... It's not exactly a water blaster though.

No, not exactly. But it does
blast water.
I guess this could have gone in the humor section, but whatever.
Edit: I looked it up, and found out that the output is actually
300,000 gallons per second! Now that's just mind-boggling. If this were used in a water war, it would probably disintegrate the opponents before they could even say "Woah".

That's... 38,400,000x
When I first saw this picture, I didn't even recognize it as water because of the huge amount.

That's beautiful. It kind reminds me of a level on Tony Hawk Pro Skater.

Is this from the Glen Canyon dam?
If so, then using the depth of Lake Powell as 170m, the water pressure should be around 250 psi.

This is *MASSIVE* output Of course, back then, only posted a link as opposed to a direct image.

Wow, I though that was a tube with water in it when I first saw it. Pure power.

iSoaker: Oh, I didn't realize that this had been posted before. Oh well...
I am already working on a homemade that will rival those things in performance. It should be ready this weekend! (I'm also going to fly to Mars to vist my grandma!)

With a homemade like that, you'll be able to use it to propel yourself to your grandma on Mars; just be sure to pack enough oxygen for the trip!
No worries about making this thread; 'tis always an impressive pic to see.

good luck! if you see him, say hi to martianshark for me!
oh, and back on topic, if each nozzle lets out 38,400,000x, and there are 3 nozzles, that would be like taking over 1,280,000 CPS 2K's to your water war
! (no, really.
