Review:
Introduction: The Spyra Two was the first mass produced water blaster by Spyra, as the Spyra One, announced in 2018 and sold in 2019-2020, was much more limited and was later replaced by the Spyra Two.
It is medium to large sized electric water blaster, rechargable via USB-C (which is hidden under a rubber protector removable by hand, meaning the blaster can get completely wet without worrying), and the company states that a full battery will last 2000 shots before needing to recharge it. I can’t say if that’s precise, but i can say that the battery does last a long time.
Unfortunately i do not own a Spyra One, but according to the company, the Spyra Two does shoot further than the Spyra One by a couple of meters.
Usage: It features an electric pump to fill up the internal tank. This means that to load the blaster with water you just need to submerge the front part of it in a container with water inside and then pull the trigger forward, which will activate the pump that will suck in the water and fill up the tank in around 10-12 seconds. You can monitor its water level by looking at a small screen on the blaster that shows the percentage of water remaining, the battery level, and the loaded shots.
After you are loaded you just need to pull the trigger and bullets of water with very impressive range will come out of the very big nozzle (a 10X). Other than pulling the trigger, you can also hold it, which will charge a powershot, that is basically a much bigger bullet, that is more like a very short stream, that shoots around 3 times the water of a single bullet. The only problem of the powershot is that, in order to charge it, you have to pull the trigger, meaning you will automatically shoot a single bullet first, potentially wasting it. The powershot has even more range than single bullets and has very similar range to some of the most powerful super soakers ever created, like the CPS 2000 and CPS 2500. That said, it still has no where near the water output of those ones.
Annoyances: One of the annoyances of this generation is that you are stuck in league mode, which is the mode where you have 3 loaded bullets, and if you shoot them all 3 in a row, you will have to wait around 1.1 seconds for the blaster to automatically reload another one. This means you can’t spam all the bullets at once and completely dreach someone in a few seconds, something that you can do with later models.
Another annoying thing is that occasionally, when shooting, what i like to call, a fail shot comes out. I am not sure why fail shots occur, but when they do, instead of shooting a regular bullet of water, the shot gets immediately dispersed, not creating the bullet effect and making the effective range less than half. Fortunately this does not happen often (maybe 1 shot per tank), meaning it’s not a real problem during a battle.
Durability: Some people may think that since this is an electric water blaster it might break quite easily, however i have to say that the Spyra Two has proven to have quite incredible durability. It is made with rock solid plastic and the internal mechanisms never seem to fail. One thing to keep into consideration is that you should avoid using sea water, as the company states that to maximize its longevity you should use only clean tap water. That said, there are many people that used all kinds of water, and i have never seen anyone report it break down. It also has a filter in front of the water uptake system, meaning that most debris in the water is going to be kept out of the blaster, but if you do use dirty water, you should later clean the filter to avoid clogging the uptake system.
Something to consider when you store the blaster is that, out of a full tank, there is a good ammount of water that is not usable, i am guessing because when it gets low on water it wouldn’t be able to pressurize it well enough. This means that after you finish a tank, unless you are going to fill it back up egain, you need to hold the trigger, activating a pump that pushes out all the excess water inside. You should not forget to do this, as leaving water inside could reduce the blaster’s longevity.
The last thing to consider is the battery: the Spyra Two i tested has been used for 3 years and the battery still seems to last very long, however i must say that i believe this kind of water blaster, due to long term battery degradation, won’t be able to last for decades like old school mechanical water guns, unless you find a way to replace the battery once it eventually dies out after many years of use.
Here is a summary of its pros and cons:
Pros:
1) Cool modern design
2) Very fun and easy to use, with a solid grip and quick refill
3) Very good range, the best in the current market, very powerul water bullets and decent water output
4) Premium feel, it has solid durable materials and never malfunctioned
Cons:
1) Requires a bucket of water to use and needs to have its battery recharged every now and then
2) Not a lot of water capacity, you will need to reload quite often
3) It can feel quite heavy, it does not have shoulder strap attachments
4) May not last in the long term due to battery degradation
Weapon statistics:
Tank capacity: 780 ml (630 usable)
- Max range of single shots at 45°: 11.5-13.5 m (the shots get dispersed in between 11.5 and 13.5)
- Max range of single shots aiming flat: 9-10 m
- Max range of powershot at 45°: 13-14.5 m
- Max range of powershot aiming flat: 10-11 m
- Effective range (the max range you will actually be able to get a decent hit on someone): 12 m
- Shots in one tank: 19-21 (it randomly changes in different refills)
- Shot output: 35-30 ml (35 the first shots and then as the tank is emptying it gradually decreases to 30)
- Powershot output: 90-100 ml
- Fire rate: 3 shots in a row and then 1 shot every 1.1 seconds
- Output per second: depends on how often you pull the trigger, but due to it having a max of 3 shots, it won’t be a consistent output
Conclusions: the Spyra Two is an amazing water blaster, able to be used in basically any water fight due to its incredible range and decent water output. However it is more of a tactical weapon that can be used to snipe people from far away, outranging them, or if the enemy has blasters with similar range, you can shoot quick shots and dodge the incoming fire. Do not go head on egainst a SC or CPS super soaker, as they will still win 100% of the times in terms of soakage.
The Spyra Two, at the time of this review (2026), is not being produced anymore, as more advanced models have been released, but you can still find occasional retailers selling it. Its original cost was 140$/€, a premium price tag that was absolutely worth it if you could afford it, as it gave an experience that no other blaster gave, however, since better models have been released, i wouldn’t pay that much nowdays, especially if it is in a used condition. If you find a new one today, i would not spend more than 80$/€, and if you find it used i would say not more than 50-60.
Overall, even if there are newer versions, i still absolutely recommend this blaster to everyone if you don’t want to spend the higher price of the newer models.
Power: 55. Range: 90. Encumbrance: 60 Ergonomics: 90 Capacity: 30 Overall: 80
