Most people scoff at water warfare and look at it a something to do on a hot day here are some reasons why I use water guns VS any other form of mock combat

 

1.  It costs less, Nerf darts are the most expensive of all ammunition’s, and airsoft and paintball can have $100’s of dollars worth of starting costs.

2.  It’s safe, Unlike most airsofters I don’t like pain and try to avoid it.

3.  I can play with kids, Try giving and airsoft or paintball gun to a kid for a war and most will quit after only being shot once.

4. it’s a completely different thing tactically, while patrols may follow the same plans the closer ranges, slower shot speeds and limited ammunition make firefights unlike any other form of combat.

5. I can play in the city, while nerf shares this claim we water warriors don’t worry about losing ammo, It’s free so we don’t have to kick kids off of the playground to use then as a fort.
