Sypra has made a name for itself by creating powerful, electronic water guns,<\/a> the first of which launched on Kickstarter in 2018<\/a>. Now, the company\u2019s adding a third water gun to its lineup, aptly named the SpyraThree, and it includes additional modes for when you want to take your battles super seriously or are just looking for some casual summer fun.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Before we get to those, let\u2019s go over what makes the Spyra more than just your standard Super Soaker \u2014 and why it can command its eye-popping price tag of $179.00 per gun<\/em>. Like the SpyraTwo (which you can still buy for around $5 less<\/a>), the SpyraThree features an electronic firing system that can spray people from around 30 feet away, and can send water almost 50 feet when you charge up a \u201cPowerShot.\u201d It also refills itself<\/em>. Stick the muzzle in some water, press the trigger forward, and in a few seconds you\u2019re ready to continue blasting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It also features a screen to tell you how full your tank and battery are. In a press release, the company says one full charge will let you reload the tank around 100 times, and that each tank holds \u201capprox. 22 water blasts,\u201d each of which will hit your opponents with a 30ml bolt of water. By the way, you recharge that battery with USB-C, which is how it should be. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n The SpyraThree has, you guessed it, three shooting modes, while the SpyraTwo only has one. Both feature what Spyra calls a \u201cLeague\u201d mode, which lets you fire a limited number of shots before it locks you out for a few seconds to \u201creload,\u201d and gives you access to the extra PowerShot. (Side note: I love that Spyra marks this as its \u201ctournament mode,\u201d and I truly hope there are people out there approaching water gun battles as seriously as some people take airsoft, paintball, or Nerf<\/a>.) The SpyraThree, however, also includes an \u201copen\u201d mode that lets you shoot as many times as you want, without the artificial reload time, and a burst mode that fires three shots each time you pull the trigger. The company\u2019s website does warn that if you use the last mode \u201cyour tank will be depleted insanely fast.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Personally, I\u2019m not one to spend $179 on a water gun that includes a mode meant for competitive gameplay \u2014 there\u2019s just not a place for that in my life, though I kind of wish there was. However, I\u2019m really happy to see that this company is still going, giving people who are <\/em>that serious about water fights even more options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
