Soaker is an AK – AK-47 Aqua Fire Water Rifle

by Jay Garrett on March 20, 2010

Super Soakers are fun and there has been some ‘cool’ designs but if I’m looking to get into a water fight I’m opting for this AK!

Say hello to my WMD (weapon of mass drenching) of choice: the AK-47 Aqua Fire.

This soggy shooter is equipped with a battery powered motorised trigger capable of firing 4 “bullets” of water every second and an easy reload mechanism. Gone is the furious pumping to get the pressure and instead of having to shove it under the tap to refil just sling in a full water ammo clip.

The AK-47 Aqua Fire is actually fully licensed from M.T. Kalashnikov, the makers of the actual AK-47.

Features:

  • No pumping required
  • Fully motorised
  • Shoots 4 bullets of water every second
  • Safety switch
  • Clear casing to see the auto-fire mechanism
  • Holds approximately 300ml
  • Clip holds enough water for approximately 60 seconds of continuous firing
  • Requires 4 x AA Batteries (Not included)
  • Approximate dimensions 350 x 230 x 45mm
  • Range of up to 8 metres

Get one from Gadgets.co.uk for £19.99

Spy Video TRAKR – Snooping, Recording, App Packing Robot

by Jay Garrett on February 11, 2010

I can imagine plenty of kids rubbing their hands with glee and the thought of getting one of these – as well as some older kids as well. Yes: I’m looking at you!

The Wild Planet Spy Video TRAKR can be remotely controlled and be used to sneak into rooms, underneath changing room doors, into locker-rooms, errrrrrrrrm…..

Anyhow; the TRAKR is equipped with a video camera so that the user can capture covert moving pictures as well as being to eaves-drop on conversations thanks to the inbuilt mic.

Should the controller wish to announce their presence there’s even a built-in speaker on the car and a microphone on the remote control.

The spy-bot can also be tweaked thanks to its own app site.

“With the Spy Video TRAKR, we’re teaching kids how to write their own applications and program their toys to do exactly what they want them to do.”

“Play should not be confined by the concepts and programs toy companies create,” says Daniel Grossman, CEO of Wild Planet Entertainment, Inc. “With the Spy Video TRAKR, we’re teaching kids how to write their own applications and program their toys to do exactly what they want them to do.”

The potential voyeurism starts in October at a price of $120
