A YouTuber named Mark Rober published a video showing off a large-scale remake of the famous water gun, the Super Soaker.
The man built it with his friend and claims that the giant water cannon is the world’s biggest.
Unlike the original Super Soaker — a water gun invented in 1982 — this comically large rendition of the gun shoots highly pressurized water that’s strong enough to break glass, split a hot dog in half and slice through a watermelon.
Rober was assisted in giving a history lesson on the popular toy as he was joined by the Super Soaker’s inventor, Lonnie Johnson. Johnson said he came up with the idea while he was working with NASA.
Rober said the water comes out at 272 miles per hour.
He said it took about six months to build. So, if you’re looking to build one yourself — time to get started.
