The Nerf Super Soaker Zombie Strike Extinguisher water blaster is a new model by Hasbro Inc. for the 2015 Nerf Super Soaker line. It is the smallest of the water blasters in the Zombie Strike sub-group, featuring a light-up reservoir and trigger-based soaking action.

The Blaster ::

Nozzle ::

The Nerf Super Soaker Zombie Strike Extinguisher features a single, small nozzle powered by its trigger-based pump. Streams produced by this nozzle are okay for a trigger-based blaster, but lacking in power compared to any similarly-size pump-action or truly pressurized water blaster. The older, smaller Super Soaker XP15: 2000 Edition can easily outperform this blaster.

Pump ::

The Nerf Super Soaker Zombie Strike Extinguisher uses a trigger-based pump. While pumping more water per pull than a Water Warriors Power Shot XL, this blaster's trigger does require more force to actuate while not feeling significantly more potent.

Grip ::

The trigger and grip area on the Nerf Super Soaker Zombie Strike Extinguisher, akin to the current other Nerf Super Soaker models, appears to be well moulded and quite comfortable to hold. However, the button switch which activates the "glowing reservoir" feature is positioned on the back side of the grip where the skin between one's thumb and index finger would be while holding this blaster. It should also be noted that, to make the reservoir glow, this requires three (3) AAA batteries. As such, this switch may make this water blaster less comfortable to hold in the long run since this added bump may run/chafe against one's skin, particular if one's hands get wet during battle.

The Reservoir ::

The reservoir on the Nerf Super Soaker Zombie Strike Extinguisher holds an acceptable amount of water for a trigger-based water blaster. The reservoir cap, however, with its single hole air inlet may dribble slightly when the water blaster is pointed upwards.

Overall ::

As a whole, the Nerf Super Soaker Zombie Strike Extinguisher is a trigger-based water blaster that features the ability to make its reservoir glow if one wishes to use batteries to do so. Considering I was able to test this water blaster to some degree without opening the packaging, I determined that no aspect of the Nerf Super Soaker Zombie Strike Extinguisher looks interesting enough to test further. As such, this item is being left in its original packaging and no further testing is planned on it at this time.

Pros

Nice styling; decent output for a trigger-based water blaster

Cons

Trigger-based water blaster offers poor performance for a water blaster this size; battery-requiring glow-in-the-dark tank both useless as well as a waste of batteries; reservoir cap may dribble
