This may seem like a silly question, but is the battery casing water proof? for example, I went to the pool and submergered the gun, would it still work, or would the batterys fry?
The Saturator AK-47 is water resistant, meaning it can withstand casual contact with water. Some submersion in water should not deem it inoperable, but the manufacturer does not recommend continually submersing the gun in water. It was not designed for such use.
Additional clips for sale?
Not at this time.
Can it shoot underwater? ( :D )
The Saturator AK-47 is water resistant, but not completely waterproof. Since it is battery operated, it is not designed to be submerged in water.
If this was hit by a water balloon would it get damaged?
The Saturator is water-resistant, so I think it would be OK. The manufacturer warns against actually submerging it in water.
I recently purchased the clear version of this gun. Its AWESOME. However i noticed after the magazine is inserted, and the gun is pointed upward, the magazine drips. If the water from the magazine drips into the gun can it damage it? And should i not point the gun upward if this is the case?
No, there should be no issues with water getting into any area of the gun that would ruin it.
How powerful is the shot? On many regular water guns, I can shoot people in the eye, and it won't permanently damage them. I never do it on purpose though. I don't want to have to worry about shooting someone in the face with when I am in a Water WAR
We don't recommend aiming directly for someone's eye, but you do not need to worry about causing any severe or lasting damage either.
Do any stores carry this water gun?
It's possible, but we do not know which specific stores may have it.
Can this be shipped to Singapore?
Yes, we can ship to Singapore.
do you think if you had some extra plastic, waterproof glue, and a dremel, that you could make the magzine longer?
Possibly. We're not handy enough to attempt it ourselves.
Well, how is the quality and endurance of the gun, not that after a few refils it would brake... i hawe bad exp with low quality guns and i dont like such ...
Like any toy that you roughhouse with, the Saturator my suffer a few bumps and bruises, but the shooting power stays consistent.
Is the Gun water tight/water proof?
The gun is relatively waterproof, but submerging it completely in water could ruin it since the shooting mechanism is not completely watertight.
Can it be filled up with the pumponator after it runs out of water?
It might take a little finesse but it is totally possible.
How to set it up
All you need to do is insert the batteries (not included), detach the clip, fill it with water, reattach, and you're good to go!
Can I paint it black?
Both Vat19 and the manufacturer advise against this, as in many states it is illegal to have any toy gun painted in a dark color such as black.
I have a 5 year-old cousin. Can I give him this?
Although we're sure a 5 year old would know how to operate the Saturator AK-47, the manufacturer recommends this water gun for ages 8 and up.
In the area i live, Guns that look too realistic no matter if they are water or cap are not allowed and children can be taken to police stations, Which design does Vat19 believe is the most safe for a child?
Well, our Saturator gun resembles an AK-47, but the colors keep it from being so realistic that it is confused with a real weapon. Additionally, the orange cap on the barrel of the gun is a universal symbol that this is a toy and not a real gun. That being said, perhaps the clear version would be best.
can you mod with airsoft parts? ex...new motor or spiring to mak eshoot harder or faster?
Neither Vat19 nor the manufacturer have attempted to modify The Saturator with airsoft parts. We do not recommend modifying the water gun. It is plenty of fun as it is!
Does the safety work on the gun like a real AK-47?
No, the AK-47 Water Gun does not have a safety.
Can you use it in a pool?
As long as you keep it above water, then it should be OK. The AK-47 Saturator is water-resistant, but not waterproof, so it should not be submerged in water.
Hey vat19. I was having trouble deciding between the AK-47 and the magnetic thinking putty, but you guys are so awesome, that I ordered both!
Awesome, thanks!
can this gun stay in water for quite a while?
No, do not submerge the AK-47 Saturator in water.
Do you like the pumponator or the saturator better?
They're both so awesome, I can't choose. (Bet you knew I was going to say something like that.) To be the ultimate water fight champion, I recommend having both the Pumponator and the Saturator in your arsenal.
That's the coolest water gun EVER! Plus the dude in camo looks AWESOME!
Thanks, man!
How many "water bullets" will the batteries last for?
About 33,000 water bullets (that's 5 gallons of water!).
What do you think is better, clear, blue, or yellow? They are all the same
Blue is the best-seller, but we like that you can see the inner workings on the Clear. Yellow is always a fun color, too.
hey i live in an area that has snow 3 to 4 months in the year. what color shouled i get if i wanted effective all year round camo?
Hmm, maybe Clear?
Do you ship to Europe?
Yes, we ship worldwide.
What is an etsimate of how long the batteries will last in this weapon?
Fresh batteries will last for about two hours of continuous, non-stop shooting. That's approximately 33,000 "rounds"!
Can you use the pumponator to fill this or other water guns up?
It could work, although the Pumponator really works best with balloons.
Will the water gun break or be damaged if dropped during a water gun fight?
It depends on how far it's dropped and the surface it is dropped upon. The Saturator is durable, but not unbreakable.
Could I order something and pick it up at your warehouse in St. Louis MO or is it shipping only?
Yes, you can. Please call us at 1-800-476-1991 ahead of time so we can get your order ready from our warehouse.
can you deliver it to mexico?
Yes, we do ship to Mexico. We ship worldwide.
can you fill it with other liquids?
We do not recommend doing that. The Saturator is a water gun and should be filled with water.
Does it come with bateries???
No, batteries are not included.
when will they be available?
Unfortunately, this item has been discontinued by the manufacturer.
Is the Saturator ak47 water proof?
The gun is relatively waterproof, but submerging it completely in water could ruin it since the shooting mechanism is not completely watertight.
Does it work in water?
You should be careful not to fully submerge your Saturator as the mechanical compartments are not completely watertight.
If the batteries are almost out of power, will the Saturator shoot the water slower or normal pace. Also what color do you like the most. p.s. vat19 rules
As the batteries begin to die, you will definitely notice a lack of water pressure and speed. When this happens, just throw in some new AA batteries and rejoin the battle! Orange and grey are pretty good colors!
Can you actually aim down the sights? FYI to people reading this I'm pretty sure that vat19 cant make any other versions of this because they DON'T manufacture this so stop posting silly questions :D
I wouldn't say the sight on the AK-47 Saturator is 100% accurate, but it will help you aim your shot a bit.
How much is 5.75 fluid ounces in milliliters? I don't understand Imperial measurements.
It is approximately 170 milliliters.
how much does shipping cost?
This depends on the shipping method you choose. Please click on the green "Calculate Shipping" link at the top of the product page to determine cost and estimated delivery time.
Can you make a rechargable battery version? I asked this question before, but you guys accidently forgot to answer it I guess...
You may use rechargeable batteries in the Saturator AK-47.
can i use my automatic water balloon pumper to fill the clip
Sure, I suppose so.
is the battery case on the saturator waterproof? I want to be able to take it to the neighborhood pool, fill it with ice cold water, and terrorize small children and grouchy adults.
The Saturator AK-47 is water resistant, but not completely waterproof. It should not be submerged in water.
How powerful is it? You know I don't want to hurt anyone.
You won't hurt anyone. Unless you, I don't know, shoot them point blank in the eye.
Do you ship to Malaysia?
Yes, we ship to Malaysia.
is it ok if i fill it with chlorine water/poolwater?
Yes, the manufacturer tells us that shouldn't be a problem.
why did you choose the ak-47? why not an m-16 or an m-4?
We flipped a coin.
Can I spray-paint it black? But leave the orange tip so I dont get arrested.
Although we aren't legal experts, in most states it is illegal to have any toy gun painted in a dark color such as black. Neither Vat19 nor the manufacturer support or endorse altering this product in any way.
Will you be selling extra magazines? Cannot seem to find any anywhere.
At this time we do not offer extra magazines/clips. Luckily it's pretty easy and quick to refill.
So it isn't recommended to use this in the pool?
We would not recommend using the Saturator in a pool because the battery compartment is not completely watertight and could be damaged if completely submerged.
can you use different clips from other saturator guns? Like could i put the ak-47 clip in a sig (another saturator gun)?
No, the clips are not interchangeable.
Q: can I get another mag -shoe
I'm sorry, but additional clips are not available.
if i soak the clip to fill it up would that ruin the gun
No. You can submerge the clip into water to fill it up, but do not submerge the entire gun into water.
Why not use the pumpinator to refill the water gun
I suppose you could use the Pumponator to refill the Saturator's water clip.
How come there isn't the color brown with a black clip so it can look like a real AK 47?
Nowadays a lot of folks are steering away from letting children play with toy guns and weapons that look too realistic. We don't want anyone mistaking the Saturator AK-47 for an actual AK-47.
Is there gunna be a bull stock attachment or a red sight or at least sone new guns like it like a m4a1 or M16 cause then that well be great.
Sorry but we do not have plans for any attachments or other models at this time.
I continued with the third question since I had no more space to type...
3:Is it ok to sumerge the gun HALF-WAY?
P.S:You guys make my day and making me looking forward to buy them!AWESOME!!!!(Sandra)(8 yrs old)
If thrown into a pool, the Saturator will eventually sink and can be ruined. For the sake of the gun, we do not recommend submerging it in part or whole. It's okay if it gets wet, but allowing water to enter the gun by submerging it can ruin the mechanism inside.
When will you get blue in stock?
Sorry, but we do not have an exact date for when we will have more of that style. You can always sign up to be notified when they come in though!
Can i carry this up and down the street? (I live in mass)
I am not familiar with Massachusetts law, but my assumption is that you should be fine, as this water gun does not resemble an actual weapon (if it were black and grey, that would be a different story). Then again, we all know what assuming does. If you want to be absolutely sure, check your local laws.
Do the parts ever need replacing?
No, you should only need to replace the batteries from time to time.
will it stop shooting? hmm? hmm? it really cool
Eventually, when the battery runs low.
How durable is it?
The AK-47 Saturator is durable enough to handle your average water gun fight.
if I skip using the batteries because I don't plan
to use them ever can I then go under water withe
the gun?
I still would not take the gun underwater. Besides, it won't work without batteries.
this is the awesomest water gun evar!!!
We think so too!
would you possibly be coming out with things like butt stocks, sights, things like that? just out of idle curiosity.
Currently there are no plans for additional accessories.
Does the gun come with more than one clip or is it just one clip per gun?
The Saturator AK-47 comes with one clip.
Can you use food color cause it wold be cool with clear gun?
We suppose you could, but using food coloring would very likely stain the gun.
is it waterproof ?
It's water resistant, but not waterproof. The AK-47 Saturator should not be submerged in water.
Do you sell those in Taiwan? If no, how much is the freight?
Yes, we can ship to Taiwan. To get the freight cost, please click on the green "Calculate Shipping" link at the top of the product page, right below the price.
Yeah, ok i'm going to buy this from your site with rechargable batteries, but will 1.2V batteries work? If so, how many approx. shots will it produce?
Sorry for all the questions, just really need to know.
-Thanks.
AA (1.2V) rechargeable batteries should work just fine. It's tough to say how many shots rechargeable batteries will give you, as all batteries are manufactured differently and have various life cycles. You may find that one brand of rechargeable battery gives you more shots than another.
Can I get one in pink?
Sorry, but the Saturator AK-47 is only available in blue, yellow, and clear.
Are there plans for a minigun version of this? It could have more water capacity and more water shots per second. I would so buy one!
That would be awesome! Unfortunately, we do not have plans for a mini gun version at this time.
Is there a way to shoot a stream of water instead of "bullets"?
Nope, sorry!
Nice!!!! :) :)
Yep, it's pretty fun.
what if i dont put batteries can i do manual shooting?
No, the AK-47 Saturator will only operate with batteries.
Can it be fully submerged in water without electrocuting me and my friends?
No, please do not submerge the Saturator in water.
Can the water get to the batteries?
The batteries are completely separate from the water, but their case is not waterproof, so submerging the entire gun could ruin your Saturator.
Will it work without batteries?
Sorry, but batteries are required for the Saturator to operate properly.
can i put bebe bullets in it?
No, the AK-47 Saturator is meant for use with water only.
can you fill it with other liquids(NOT IN THAT WAY)? Just Wondering
Nah, we don't recommend putting anything besides water in the Saturator.
will it stand up to compleat snow submertion
It's best not to submerge the AK-47 Saturator in snow or any type of liquid.
Can this be shipped into New York City's five boroughs? (Specifically, Queens)
Yep.
Will the Saturator fit in a Prank Packs fake gift box? I want to combine them and make a SUPER gift!
Sorry, but the Saturator is a little too long to fit inside our Prank Packs.
If you fired about 200-230 shots, would you need to turn the gun upside down for the water to be correctly loaded?
Nope.
when can u buy extra clips?
I'm sorry, but extra clips are not available.
what's the best way to refill the gun?
Remove the magazine and hold it under a running faucet.
can the pumpanator (sorry if misspelled) work to fill the mag.
We don't see why not.
Don't you guys have a smaller, more concealable water gun, say a pistol or something?
No, the Saturator AK-47 is currently the only water gun we sell.
is the water gun ak 47 safe
If used properly, yes.
I think these kinds of guns (electronic and from the same manufacturer) come in different models. Will you be selling those?
Currently there are no plans to sell other models of water guns. We're pretty sure the Saturator AK-47 is the king of them all.
Just HOW water resistant are they? Could I spray a hose at close range at the battery compartment for prolonged periods of time? Sometimes the water fights I'm in get nasty.
I would not recommend spraying a hose directly at the Saturator. It can withstand some contact with water (like shots from other water guns), but not a deluge of water.
Will 3v AAs work on this gun?
If you are referring to 3v AA Lithium
batteries, then yes, those can be used in the Saturator.
What's the tiny text above "Saturator" on the side of the gun? I can't make it out in any of the pictures.
It says, "AK-47 STR80 Water Gun".
O_O... so much curiously awsomeness!!!! i can't decide. right now i want this, xylo, or flexy what do u think??
Um, all of them?
Would this work with the "spit-balls" you guys/girls (<-- trying not to be sexist!) sell? As in loading the small spit-balls into the clip? Just thinking about buying. Please test this!
Spitballs are far too large to be used in the Saturator. The nozzle is approximately the same size as a standard water gun.
I'm a 55-year-old housewife and I want something I can use to repel coyotes while walking my dog. It should have 20-30' range and deliver a moderately painful punch. I prefer no sound effects as I don't want to startle my dog. Would the AK-47 work?
The Saturator AK-47 has a range of 20 feet, but I cannot guarantee that it would be effective at repelling coyotes.
What happens if you accidentally drop it in fire/ice?
Well, if you dropped it into a fire it would surely melt. Ice wouldn't be a problem, but if you let it freeze while the Saturator is fully loaded the expanding ice may crack and ruin the gun.
can i put the gun under water ?
No, the gun should not be submerged in water.
will it still shoot out water bullets if i used it without the batteries? Meaning, will it still work without the sound?
No, the batteries are necessary to power the gun and shoot the water.
In the video it siad sound affects. Is it just clicking?
You can hear the sound effects in our video. It's the clicking of the motor that sounds similar to an automatic.
if i dip it in water with batteries would it still work
Probably not. The Saturator is water-resistant, but it is not waterproof. Therefore, it should not be submerged in water.
do u think that you could put up the sig version of the gun too?
We have no plans to add other versions of the Saturator.
I live in a urban metropolis. The only time I'll get to use a water gun is in a pool. Is it recommended that I buy this product then?
Urban metropoli do not have faucets you could fill them up with? Seriously though, you can use the Saturator near a pool, but submerging the entire gun could ruin it.
Is there any place I can buy an extra clip?
Sorry, but the ammo clips are not available separately.
can it dye out?
At some point, the batteries will wear out and you'll need to replace them.
Can we use this product without batteries? Yes I know the efficiency will decrease.
No, the AK-47 Saturator will not function without batteries.
Would the gun get damaged if I fire it without water?
No, there will not be damage if fired without water. But why would you not want to fill up this awesome water gun!?
what if batteries rust, byebye gun?
The Saturator AK-47 is water resistant, so you shouldn't have a problem with the batteries rusting.
we want extra clips!!!
I'm sorry, but extra clips are not available.
do they make it clear so you can see the mechanism inside?
Yep! Pretty cool, eh?
Vat 19 reminds me of the local pharmacy that you would go to as a kid but bigger, better, and awesomer! But, without all the pills and medicines... :) Oh, and is the "Saturator" logo painted on or is it a decal? Meaning, will it eventually come off?
We're so glad you enjoy Vat19.com! Regarding the AK-47 Saturator, the logo is a decal.
Why is it called a ak-47 if it looks more like a ak-47u?
So we've heard. We're not weapons experts so I can't confirm or deny.
Was it really that good of an idea to put electronics and water together?
The water gun is built so that the water inside the gun does not reach the battery chamber.
Is it blue?
The AK-47 Saturator does come in blue. It also comes in yellow and clear.
Can I get an ETA on the extra magazines?
At this time we have no plans to sell extra magazines.
Does it come with included batteries?
Sorry, but the required 4 AA batteries are not included.
Do you ship to Malaysia?
Yes, we ship to Malaysia.
Can I bring this on a plane?
I cannot say for sure, but I wouldn't try to. Not only does it look like a weapon, but it also contains a liquid. Liquids over 3oz are prohibited on carry-on luggage. You could probably pack it in your checked luggage, though.
So the reason it's automatic is because of its batteries?
Yes, you need the batteries to power the automatic shooting action of the gun.
