The 3-second demo
Pump. Aim. Soak.
SplashCannon is an inflatable battle-tank pool float with a real pump-charged water cannon — cannon shots, spray mode, and infinite lake ammo with zero batteries.
10 pumps.
Charge the pressure chamber by hand. That's the whole loadout.
Two modes.
Cannon for the kill shot. Spray for area denial.
26-foot cannon shot.
A 17 oz (0.5 L) slug of lake, delivered across the swim zone.
The arsenal
Everything a summer armored division needs.
Cannon mode
A 17 oz (0.5 L) slug of water with a 26 ft (8 m) range. One trigger pull, one very wet target.
Spray mode
A 30-second suppressive stream. Hold the perimeter while your crew repositions.
Infinite ammo
Draws water straight from the lake, pool, or ocean. You will never paddle home to reload.
Zero batteries
Zero electronics near water. Pure pump-charged pneumatics — nothing to charge, short, or corrode.
Clip-in netting seat
Sit low for stability or stand to fire over the bow. The netting seat clips in either way.
Built like a hull
3-chamber inflatable hull with a 60 psi safety relief valve on the rigid pressure chamber. Kid-safe pressures throughout.
