One of the smallest air-pressure based water blasters made, the Super Soaker SS 30 makes a great back-up weapon. The model reviewed is a classic series one released in 1999. The water reservoir holds a decent amount of water for the blaster's size. The SS 30 can get one out of a sticky situation should one's main weapon run dry. The power of the weapon is surprising despite its small appearance.

This Super Soaker SS 30 is best used for back-up. However, as it is based on the original design, it does appear a little flimsier than newer lines so a little care should be taken when using the SS 30. Otherwise, it makes a great pistol.

Pros

Small, light, easy to carry. Rate of fire-to-water supply ratio quite good and can last a fairly long time (though water yield is low). Packs good power for its size.

Cons

Relatively fragile and may leak, especially if the O-ring is damaged or loose. Nozzle size is significantly smaller than the newer weapons. The pumping mechanism is also somewhat fragile. (Don't force it to hard or it will break. I know from experience.)
