Long gone are the halcyon days of lobbing a water-filled balloon out of the window onto unsuspecting passers by. In those days, the only way to efficiently get decent velocity out of a water balloon was to drop it from a great height. Well, now that's all changed. Someone with too much time on their hands has invented a startlingly simple and yet supremely effective high-speed delivery system for water balloons.
The Waterbomb Slingshot will power water balloons over distances of up to 150 metres! There are no doubt more worthwhile and earnest pastimes than slingshotting (new verb there) waterbombs at high speeds over huge distances, but few of them are as fulfilling and exquisitely puerile.
The Slingshot is a simple piece of kit comprising what is basically a huge and powerful rubber band, with a grip at either end, and a sling in the middle where you put your 'aquatic' missile. Two people hold either end while you pull back the launcher as far as your bravado allows, and then let rip. The kit comes with a carry pouch and a bag of 150 balloons, which should be enough to make you truly unpopular with your neighbours. The power of this thing has to be seen to be believed.

Customer Reviews for Waterbomb Slingshot
Wow, this Slingshot is too good to be true! You may notice I'm not mentioning the waterbomb aspect of this device - and that's because there's a thousand and one uses for this funkily simple-to-use gadget! I'm a student and one day I come home to find the guys out on our balcony with the new toy. But I'm lying of course, they weren't only on the balcony but also had the slingshot stretched most of the way across the kitchen in order to fire just about anything no-one claimed across to the other side of the (not unsubstantial) river. And you can bet with something this powerful that various objects made it (old apples, potatoes, the half-size cans of beans and at one point a pumpkin left over from Halloween). Unfortunately the eggs didn't make it across (sorry Mr. Boat) but that was partly due to the fact that at this point we were aiming for this hunk of floating metal. So anyway, doesn't this product sound like the funnest time you've had in ages?! I suggest you buy it, and they seriously weren't kidding when they said this produst HAS to be seen (and possibly used) to be believed...

My friend bought one of these to a pool party and we launched all sorts of projectiles. First we started with the water bombs, then we went onto other ammo types such as hamburgers and hot dogs. We finally got the slingshot taken away when we launched a full soda can. This is an awesome product!

"A friend of mine bought me the catapult for my birthday, had to try it out! Fantastic fun, if a little painful!"

Both Reading 2004 and 2005 proved very eventful thanks to the waterbomb slingshot, so I had to buy one. In 2004 a few friends managed to 'accidentally' hit a carelessly placed policeman (well, people WILL leave them lying about), and in 2005 it took 3 days of target practice before I finally got a water bomb straight through the open window of the Mr Whippy van - but as it was a nice hot day, we figured that he'd be grateful for a little surprise refreshment! We would like to apologise to the girl who got covered in Muller Rice, and the Burger Van whose condiments table we managed to destroy with an egg. And the many people who probably got covered in warm Smash! Instant mashed potato - Bodger and Badger eat your heart out!
