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.

FRAME 01

10 pumps.

Charge the pressure chamber by hand. That's the whole loadout.

FRAME 02

Two modes.

Cannon for the kill shot. Spray for area denial.

FRAME 03

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.

17 OZ (0.5 L) // 26 FT (8 M)

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.

30 SEC STREAM

Spray mode

A 30-second suppressive stream. Hold the perimeter while your crew repositions.

SOURCE: THE LAKE

Infinite ammo

Draws water straight from the lake, pool, or ocean. You will never paddle home to reload.

0 VOLTS

Zero batteries

Zero electronics near water. Pure pump-charged pneumatics — nothing to charge, short, or corrode.

SIT / STAND

Clip-in netting seat

Sit low for stability or stand to fire over the bow. The netting seat clips in either way.

3 CHAMBERS // RELIEF VALVE

Built like a hull

3-chamber inflatable hull with a 60 psi safety relief valve on the rigid pressure chamber. Kid-safe pressures throughout.

The cannon actually works.

The internet fell in love with inflatable battle tanks for a reason. We're building the real thing: a manufactured product with a working pump-charged cannon — not a render, not a meme. This page exists to prove demand before the Kickstarter goes live. Your email is a vote.

Intel briefing

Questions from the field.

How far does the cannon actually shoot?+
Cannon mode throws a 17 oz (0.5 L) slug of water 26–33 ft (8–10 m) in calm conditions, depending on how hard you pump and the angle you fire at. Spray mode trades range for a sustained 30-second stream.
Is the pressure safe?+
Yes. The 60 psi safety relief valve sits on the rigid pressure chamber — not on the inflatable hull, which runs at normal toy-classification float pressures. Overpump and the relief valve vents automatically. The float chambers themselves never hold cannon pressure.
What ages is it for?+
We recommend ages 14+ for the cannon, with adult supervision on the water for anyone younger. The float itself is sized for teens and adults. It's a water toy that hits toy-safety pressures, but a cannon is still a cannon — aim at torsos, not faces.
Pool, lake, or ocean?+
All three. It draws ammo from whatever it's floating in: pool, lake, or calm ocean water. We don't recommend surf, strong currents, or open water beyond swim zones — it's a battle tank, not a rescue craft.
What if it gets punctured?+
Every unit ships with a patch kit and a spare valve. The hull has 3 independent air chambers, so a single puncture won't sink your platoon — you can limp back to shore and patch it in about ten minutes.
When does it ship?+
This is a pre-launch page — the Kickstarter hasn't started yet. Based on our manufacturing timeline, we estimate delivery 8–10 months after the campaign closes. Early-bird reservations get first production run priority.
