The Ultimate Water Gun
"It is not easy, using mere words, to describe the feeling of power you get when, merely by squeezing your hand, you send a powerful jet of water whooshing from the top of your head, shooting 75 feet or more in whatever direction you look, but I will try: It is cool."
— Dave Barry"
Hi MAKE readers!
Using a recursive gawk command, I managed to kill this website, including the history, instructions, and the part where
you can request the gun for two weeks if your cause is worthy. I can get the text back from the
Internet Wayback Machine,
but I'm busy porting the submit-a-request thing over to Rails while I'm at it, so it'll be a little while. Meanwhile, you can
see some pictures of the UWG in action, or
see a bunch of raw photos that I took for the Make article.
Now a big fan of cron backups,
John Young
