8th Grade History, Secondary Director, Dr. Jon Kidder

Super Soaker Max-D 6000 and especially the Larami Super Soaker CPS 2500 or any other very large water gun.  I use them for my 8th grade US history class all the time and for ASB events.  I have plenty of small water guns...I only want something that can shoot 35 feet or more with a large blast radius.  They are in the $60 - $100 range.
