The Air Hogs: Vector is the larger of two water-propelled rocket launchers manufactured by Spin Master Toys. Using both pressurized water and air, this launcher can fire up its rocket to heights over 150 feet! Like the Air Hogs: Warp Stream, this device should not be considered as an offensive weapon nor as a water-delivery system. Most of the pressurized water ends up blasted out of the rocket in the first few seconds. This results in the user feeling most of the wetness. Also, protective tabs in the launcher prevent the rocket from firing unless the rocket is pointed directly upwards.
Arming, pumping and launching these water based rockets is not difficult once you get used to the load, pump water, switch, pump air, then fire sequence. Rockets can also be launched using only air pressure, but they do not fly as high. The rockets, thankfully, are foam topped. Their fins are also made of foam and the pressure chamber is made of light-weight plastic. The Air Hogs: Vector's launcher also features a pressure gauge for determining how high one's rocket will fly as well as a levelling device such that one knows one can fire the rocket.
The Air Hogs: Vector is meant for use mainly as a signalling device and should not be used as an offensive weapon. It is, however, water powered, making it fun to use on those hot summer days. Potential uses include a signal to determine when the water fight begins/ends, a signal flare for a group to attack, a positioning beacon, a visual distraction, etc.
Pros
Small, unique, high-flying water/air-propelled rocket launcher. Power and payload are decent for a device of this size. The launcher also features a pressure gauge and a levelling device.
Cons
Not actually a water blaster. User gets wet when using this device to launch rockets. Rockets should be handled with care since they are made of foam and light plastic.
