The Patriot Water Balloon Launcher / 200 Yards Slingshot / Includes 2 Splash Balls, Quick Fill Nozzle, 50 Bio Balloons

OMG! This is awesome!!! We used it yesterday at my son's 9th birthday party and couldn't have been happier with the performance. The kids had a blast. They were able to operate it themselves, this includes my 7 year old daughter. The kids on the small side did fall down if the tension was released too early or was lopsided, but it made it just that more hilarious. Kids launched the balloons into a huge field and tried catching them. Some were smacked in the face or body, but again hilarity ensued. Perfect for a hot day and provides endless entertainment...until the balloons run out. I was extremely pleased they came with biodegradable balloons, which was part of my reason for ordering this brand. I also ordered extra biodegradable balloons and filled maybe another 100 or so, wish I had done more!! FYI, the hose attachment for filling was well made, leakage was minimal.

I have not used the launcher yet but it looks to be of good quality. I do have one complaint. The description says it comes with 50 biodegradable balloons and 2 splash balls. I received the splash balls but the balloons were not included. Not a big deal but I will be using the launcher at a scouting event tomorrow and now I will have to go out and buy balloons.Update 08/19/16: I received the balloons in a separate shipment so I changed my review to 5 stars pending using the launcher. I will update again if necessary.

bought this for our neighborhood block party last weekend. It was a HUGE hit! Very fun. Folks got quite competitive to see who could to it the farthest or hit a target. I tried to buy a 2nd one so we could do teams, but they were sold out. We will do a giant sling shot or two again next yr. The only reason I gave 4 starts is b/c it broke/snapped pretty fast. someone repaired it but it snapped two more times. Was fun while it lasted. **best with water balloons. We tried to use water soaker balls and it wasnt as good/fun**

This launcher did provide us some good laughs lots HOWEVER, on the very first launch the rubber cable snapped hitting a teen in the face, thankfully not injuring him more than a little pain. We tied that together because everyone wanted to keep going, got three more launches out and the other side cable split, not hurting anyone this time. Yes we did tie that again and got a few more good launches. The rubber is not good quality obviously from the problems we had that could be serious. I would not buy this brand again and we won't be using it again. We had it for a backyard Graduation party.

The kids I bought this for were 2,4 and 6. They thought this thing was the BEST GIFT EVER. We hooked it up to two polls out on the farm and it kept them entertained for hours. I would highly recommend this product! It came with the launcher, balloons and two balls, just like it says. I would recommend buying more balloons, as they do kinda get used up quickly, and with the kids so young, a few will break. It takes a little practice.

This toy is very dangerous. If the person holding one end loses grip, the handle can pop around and hit someone else in the eye. This has caused serious eye injuries, including retinal detachment. Elastic items are always bad toys for kids.

Grandson was having fun launching water balloons until the red elastic cord broke!! It came apart at the seam where the two ends of the cord go together. I did get credit back on my charge card but I was disappointed that the launcher came apart on the first day that we used it. It was definitely launching balloons at a good distance when it was working.

I didn't like that the patriot not only told me what I should shoot but sent me examples balloons and water balls? So I took it as a challenge I'm shooting all kinds of stuff a hose sprayer, a bike pump BAM bro gone, a honey bear thing freaking zoosk gone yo. I will make money off of me posting videos off crap I shoot with the patriot thanks Tom Brady lol
