Claim:
In a squirt gun of the type comprising a housing having a hollow interior portion, a filling passageway between the housing's hollow interior portion and the housing's exterior, and a squirting passageway between the housing's hollow interior portion and a nozzle at the housing's exterior, and having an actuatable trigger having a first position in which communication through the squirting passageway from the housing's hollow interior portion to the nozzle is denied, and a second position in which communication between the housing's hollow interior portion to the nozzle is enabled, the improvement whereby the hollow interior portion comprises a rigid vessel with one or more openings communicating with the passageways, said vessel comprising therein a resiliently compressible element, and whereby the gun is adapted to receive water at a positive pressure through the filling passageway and into said vessel and said pressure causes said element to compress, and whereby, when the trigger is in the first position, the water received into said vessel is retained therein under pressure and, when the trigger is actuated into the second position, said retained water is forced from said vessel by the decompression of said element and through the squirting passageway and the nozzle to the housing's exterior.
