Top 10 Algae Scrapers

10. Water Waves Sling

The Water Waves Sling (about $43) is marketed as being able to throw bombs as far as 500 yards, but in practice, the majority of people won’t be able to get it past 100. Even so, you’ll want to make sure you have plenty of space to play with this thing, just in case.

9. Yes4All Super Boom

Give your outdoor party a jolt of excitement with the Yes4All Super Boom (appx. $15). The latex bands have a high amount of stretch, so it can throw things a pretty long distance, but they are susceptible to breakage after a lot of use.

8. Kaos Catapult

Penetrate deep behind enemy lines (or your neighbor’s backyard) with the Kaos Catapult. It encourages collaboration and teamwork, making it great for teaching important life skills, and, except for the water, it comes with everything you need to start waging war today.

7. The Patriot Slingshot

With The Patriot Slingshot (about $17) a casual kid’s activity can erupt into a full-blown war before you know what happened. It comes with biodegradable balloons, so you don’t have to worry about leaving litter and rubber scraps all over the battlefield.

6. CX Blaster

The CX Blaster (around $21) is smaller than some other models, so it is a good choice for younger kids who may struggle getting a full stretch out of those with longer bands. It is made in the United States, and is strong enough to stand up to plenty of use.

5. Hydro Sling Assault

The Hydro Sling Assault (appx. $17) can bring together a group as easily as it fires soft projectiles up to 200 yards in the blink of an eye. Everyone from young teens to older relatives will have a blast teaming up to drench common opponents with this reliable cannon.

4. TiMi Tree Beast

The TiMi Tree Beast (appx. $19) works well with splash balls and a variety of other soft, round items, so you won’t feel limited to the ammo it is marketed for, of which it happens to include 500 units. It will definitely turn any birthday party into a hit, albeit a wet one.

3. Bam Extreme Slingshot

Make a splash at your next barbecue or weekend getaway with the Bam Extreme Slingshot (around $39). Once your 3-person squad has had a bit of practice, you’ll be dominating those wet and wild battles. It works well with snowballs, too, so you’ll also get some wintertime fun out of it.

2. Quarter Mile Cannon

The Quarter Mile Cannon (about $20) is a sight to behold and constructed to hit targets up to 300 yards away. And if you ever tire of launching liquid-filled rubber globes (which is unlikely), you can use it to propel soft promotional items, like Nerf balls and T-shirts, as well.

1. Vivorr Captain Splash

If you want to hurl bombs like the pros, you can’t go wrong with the Vivorr Captain Splash (around $28). It comes with everything you need, from a starting arsenal to a carrying case, and includes a hassle-free money-back guarantee, too.
