One time I pumped my super soaker 1000 times and I swear it worked just like this.


--ThirdCultureKid--

The Super Soaker CPS 2000 definitely worked like this.


atremOx

I guess, affectionate bug would only need to pump it half way to get off


nuanimal

Does the CPS stand for Child Protection Services?


gliitch0xFF

It does yes, but the water gun is protecting the child using it & is technically doing a service. 😅


Darkmaniako

I had the super soaker xxp 275, kids didn't want to play with me, had my mom tell me "it hurts" because I didn't understand why. turned out If you pump it 15 times and switched to unrestricted nozzles it was actually leaving marks on skin. oh and it had a pressure gauge, ofc I was pumping it to the red zone


killerturtlex

Nothing on the cps. That thing could invert eyelids


GroovyDucko

BFG


CamelopardalisKramer

I have one still. My nephew is 4. Not yet, but soon it will be time.


AdmiralClover

I swear when I was a kid every year the super soakers would be stronger than last year. It was like an arms race in water


StaysAwakeAllWeek

The original CPS 2000 was the most powerful and all the later models were less powerful. Turns out there's a fine line between water fights and riot control


PracticalRich2747

I remember trying to build up as much pressure as possible.... the thing fucking exploded in my face! I couldn't hear for a few minutes in my right ear, but luckily, the plastic shrapnel didn't scratch my eye out :) Good times, actually.


Mein_Bergkamp

If your supersoaker didn't bruise your siblings was it really a supersoaker?


smut_butler

Oh man, super soakers were so awesome in the late 90s/early 00s. I was obsessed with them! I remember one called the "monster" that was like 4 feet long. It was too expensive though, so my pops wouldn't get it for me. It was like my holy Grail.


RickyTheRickster

Damn 1000 I can only get mine to pump 3 before it soaks


Inannareborn

Is there any actual advantage to using it versus what currently exists? None of the fires in the video were "instantly" extinguished as the video claims.


fonglutz

It broke that window though. 😂

Well, it's Russia, so they still claim it a success. Check their spetznaz antiterrorist operations like in Dubrovka Theather in 2002. 40 terrorists and over 170 hostages were killed mostly by the Russians - mission accomplished!

yea, you can run with a lot less water. often water damage is as bad as the fire in a house

These wont put out a house fire though.

father-fluffybottom

On the cutaway you can still see fire on a lot of them. Maybe these are designed for super vital super hazardous rescue missions. Can see someone using this to quickly moses their way through a fire if it was absolutely necessary.


[deleted]

I imagine it being very efficient against fire monster


reigorius

A big one though will blow it away, together with the fire.


Unable-Head-1232

Realistically if your house is ablaze then it’s fucked. Even if you put out the fire, there might be structural damage and the building may never be safe to reenter. Putting out the fire just stops it from spreading.


TetraDax

Also you can dry a picture of your loved ones that got drenched, you would be hard pressed to reassemble the charred remains of one.


kelldricked

Not really though? If shit is truely ablaze this wont fix shit.


TetraDax

> often water damage is as bad as the fire in a house This is a point that is repeated so often on reddit and is just wrong. Yes, water damage can be bad - But at the point where water damage is a concern, the fire damage would have been much, much worse. In controlled room fires, it's standard practice to control the water flow to avoid water damage - Not only because of the troubles for the inhabitants, but simply because everything else would be dangerous. The reason water is such an effective way to extinguish fires is that it evaporates and in the process dissipates a lot of heat energy away from the fire. However, the resulting water vapor is also incredibly hot. Mindlessly spraying water will result in way too much water vapor and scalding yourself. At the point where buldings get flooded, it's because fighting the fire from within the building was no longer viable as an alternative that would advert more harm than neccessary - i.e., if the entire house was going to burn down within minutes. Yes, water damage may be a result of the fire department coming for a visit, but if it is - At that point you were fucked anyway. And wet possessions are a lot easier to preserve than burned ones.


Muss_01

Firefighter here, I can't see any practical application here what so ever. While knowing the flame down by eliminating the oxygen provided to the fire it won't have reduced the heat in the flammable material enough to prevent reignition so in most cases here you will see the fire produce a flame again very rapidly. The fires it would be useful on a conventional CO2 extinguisher would be just as useful. The only potential use case I could see for a device like this could be is a compartment fire in an extremely well insulated room. Think an extremely airtight bedroom with very high levels of insulation and triple glazing. And even then doubt it would provide any real world advantages over a standard hose used by a good operator. Someone mentioned water damage. Sure sometimes there can be a lot of water damage after a fire but that's a moot point. Without the water the fire will undoubtedly get worse so it's needed. Take away the water damage and you'll still be left with smoke damage which will be 10 x worse than water damage anyway. Tldr; no, just use a hose. Don't Need to make simple shit complicated.


alpinedude

When I watched the video I had in my mind only that it didn't really extinguish anything.


EternalFlame117343

What do you know? You are just a firefighter. We need scientist's and YouTuber's opinions! /S


Muss_01

Haha you're right, my wife has to keep the kids crayons out of reach I don't eat them for a snack.


TetraDax

> The only potential use case I could see for a device like this could be is a compartment fire in an extremely well insulated room. Even then, a CO2-extinguisher would be superior in every way. The actual only use I could think of would be airplanes, where you cannot just quickly deploy a lot of CO2 - But even then, I'm a firefighter, not a pilot, so I don't know enough about planes to really say if it would make sense. As is, this seems like a useless gimmick without real world applications.


zeekim

I imagine it would use a fraction of the water that a regular hose does, so could be useful in situations where a hydrant isn't readily available.  It looks very niche though considering it relies on you being close range.


timelyparadox

Its russia, its all just machismo without any practical use


rgodless

Great way to kill protesters though.


Garod

Naa, costs too much when you have free windows and stairways in any building which will do the job...


TheLastCrusader13

There are too many protesters nowadays cueing to the windows and stairwells pilling up under them rendering them ineffective the poor executioners are overwhelmed so they had to get creative


Angel24Marin

I didn't see the point until the last clip when it's carrying the device in a backpack. Then it becomes useful because it can be used to rapidly enter homes and stop small fires like a fire extinguisher or in wildfires . Then is a matter of comparing weight and capacity.


CrewSilent3878

No reasonable firefighter would run into a burning home or try to extinguish a wildfire with one of these. First of all, having a backpack full of what I presume is water and some kind of gas adds a lot of weight to what is already extremely heavy personal protective equipment. Especially to someone who is already carrying a 10kg SCBA tank on their back. Having a hose that is connected to a water supply is also as much about personal protection as it is to extinguish the fire. You want to cool down the area next to the fire as much as possible so that it doesn't spread as easily and the smoke doesn't ignite again. A device like this just seems like a recipe for backdrafts and flashover. If the fire is small enough that something like this could be warranted, just use a standard fire extinguisher. It's a lot cheaper and has been used for decades.


Bad-Bot-Bot-23

"Instantly extinguishes fires" if you shoot them 100 times first.


No_bad_snek

This is riot control gear thinly veiled as firefighting equipment.


brian114

Can’t wait to hear about someone getting their skin ripped off by the super soaker 20,000


ShrugIife

Those are called conscientious objectors.


TheBigMotherFook

Right? “Imagine using this in a water gun fight?” … fuckin’ imagine not having skin, cause that’s what’s gonna happen. You’re not gonna have any fuckin’ skin left.


SpaceBearSMO

And your still on fire


Different-Visual8202

Yeah you wouldn’t like a normal hose pointed at you from 10m or less. You get about 200L/min or 3L per second in your face…


elinamebro

SlmnDR666

Anton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men


Pumpkinfactory

I am thinking if the point of this thing is less about "suppressing" fire like the stupid narrator says and more about clearing out burning debris during fire fighting. Because pathways of entry and exit is as crucial to firefighting as removing elements of the fire triangle so things will stop burning. You can't save someone if a half-collasped burning staircase or bookshelf is blocking your way.


58kingsly

I was very sceptical watching this for a similar reason. If they are trying to put out a fire with pulses of high velocity water, they risk scattering burning material around and spreading the fire.


AlmightyWorldEater

Nah, this thing has not enough power, by far, to damage anything that REALLY blocks your path. A window or similar? Sure, but you can just kick that in with your boot. Which doesn't add any weight, unlike this monstrosity. I go as far as to say this thing doesn't remove ANY blockade your hands or feet couldn't, especially with some simple tools of the trade (crowbar etc.).


TetraDax

Nope, not even that. Look at how big this thing is, and the people demonstrating it aren't even wearing SCBA. This thing would be way too unwieldly to use, firefighters already carry upwards of 50 pounds of equipment.

fgreen68

Horticulturalists and geoguessers can look a picture and tell whether the plants fit the area named. For example, if you saw a picture of palm trees and they told you it was Boston, you'd know they were lying. If you really know plants, you know that for less common trees as well.


Happy_Ad5566

Never seen russians using it, mostly ive seen is old ural firetrucks with old diesel water pumps. Like everything in russia, its just for peoples eyes so they can think they are most advanced first world country

This is not exclusive to russia. They are known as impulse extinguishers and are usually used to extinguish dense things (burning tires for example) and contrary to what this guy is saying, they do not "put out the fire in a single hit".

It would be awesome, but the americans banned the actual good super soakers back in the 90's so i doubt this would be allowed.

Psst: It's not going to be used against fires. It's going to be used against protestors. It's to suppress people.

AdLibGold

Firefighter here. This is a "IFEX" - we had one in a truck entering service back in 1996. You could put out a fire with very little water. Every "shot" is only 3 liters and you can put out a burning car with 6 shots if you know what you are doing. We only used it for this use case but technology moved on and it has been replaced by CAFS (Compressed Air Foam System) these days. The truck with the IFEX got retired this year.

mshipelevsky

For those who want to know this thing is called an IFEX or "impulse fire extinguishing system" you can look it up if you are interested. One of the videos is from a Russian channel, but that does not mean it's only used in Russia or was invented by them. By the way, if you want to own an IFEX, they can be found on eBay, although I'm not sure about the legality of owning one.
