Did anyone have one of these? Goddamn, what a piece of crap. I mean, super soakers themselves kicked ass. I remember when I had my first super soaker 50, and I had one of those super soaker 100's, the blue ones. But holy shit, the slingshot was ass.

Can't find a picture so I'm not sure of what your refering to. It sounds lame though.
I did find this pic though.
That's alot of super soakers.
When I was a kid I always wanted to use gas and a lighter to convert my super soaker into a flamthrower, glad I didn't, it would have melted and exploded in my face.

I remember I had one that I overpumped and the tank exploded. Which sucks, because that thing ruled.

I didn't get to play with nearly enough Super Soakers as a kid (guns were forbidden under my Father's rule), but my neighbor had one of those giant flamethrower style ones with the backpack tank and I always thought that was the balls.

In other words no one knows of it.
If it's a slingshot that shoots water I can understand why it would suck.
Water+Slingshot=Shitty Ass Toy
I'm so bananas I'm showing up to your open casket,
to fill it up with explosive gases,
and close it back,
with a lit match in it,
while I sit back, and just hope it catches.

roll you, and smoke the ashes.
I had a water gun, not sure if it was a super sooker but the only way for the damn thing to fire . . . was by battery power. I'll say that again, a squirt gun that was battery operated. Needless to say that thing found it's way to a body of water and never worked afterwards.
Links, pics, vids . . . I shall post these when given the chance

I had one of those except it was shaped like a sub machine gun. I think the water shot out in spurts not continously, but then again I was an only child. Living with my parents in an apartment I never really needed the continuous fire feature, no real enemies to shoot.

I have no idea what that slingshot thingy might be, either. I've seen some off-brand water balloon slingshots, but I don't think that's what's being referenced here.
On the other hand, I think these items are a thousand times more worthless than any Super Soaker slingshot:
Exhibit A: The Soakin' Cell Phone and the Soakin' Camera
"Easy to Pack for a Sneak Attack!"
Hasbro turned the Super Soaker into a pseudo-pornography line.
Exhibit B: Mt. Tiki-Soki Water Volcano
"LOOK OUT! When He Erupts, Everyone Gets SOAKED!"
"Watch His Eyes! When They Open - He's Ready TO BLOW!"
Exhibit C: The Oozinator
"Extra pumping required."
It sounds lame though.
