# Upgraded Water Weaponry The Battery-Powered Super Soaker Thunderstorm By JDurhamII | Published 2011-02-15 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upgraded-super-soakers References: [dvice](http://dvice.com/archives/2011/02/nerfs-super-soa.php) & [hasbro](http://www.hasbro.com/shop/details.cfm) What may be a dated way of having fun is now updated thanks to the Super Soaker Thunderstorm. The new [water pistol](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jammie-dodgers-and-nerf) includes battery power, which requires no pumping. You can also purchase an additional water clip, making for never-ending aquatic attacks. With the Super Soaker Thunderstorm, I can walk around with additional clips filled with water so I'm not constantly carrying dripping jugs or taking repeated trips to the [water hose](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-flip-pressure-washer). This pistol should give a real urban feel to the kids enjoying water fights, giving water fights a modern update. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Battery-powered Water Weapons:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop more powerful and efficient battery-powered water weaponry for enhanced water fights. - **Convenient Water Clips:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create refillable and easily attachable water clips to eliminate the need for constant refilling during water fights. - **Modernizing Water Fights:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce innovative technologies and features to upgrade the overall experience of water fights for users of all ages. ### Where This Applies - **Outdoor Recreation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new water-based recreational products and experiences that make outdoor activities more enjoyable and engaging. - **Toy Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate advanced technologies into water guns and toys to create more immersive and interactive play experiences. - **Water Sports:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design innovative water weapons and accessories that enhance the excitement and competitiveness of water-based sports and games. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Power-Free Water Blasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spyralx.md) - [Triple-Mode Powered Water Blasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spyrathree.md) - [Synchronous Firing Water Guns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/synchronous-firing-water-gun.md) - [4-in-1 Gel Blasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unlocx-gel-blaster.md) - [Gel-Equipped Toy Blasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pro-gelfire-mythic.md) - [Quick-Burst Water Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nerf-better-than-balloons.md) - [Adult-Targeted Foam Disc Blasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disc-blaster.md) - [Prehistoric Foam Dart Blasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nerf-dinosquad-armorstrike-blaster.md) - [Gel Pellet Toy Guns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hasbro-1.md)
