A toy water gun system comprising:
- a water gun having a primary reservoir, an outlet nozzle in flow communication with the primary reservoir, and an actuating trigger, the primary toy water gun adapted to discharge an output stream of water through the outlet nozzle in response to actuation of the trigger;
- an auxiliary reservoir separate from the water gun and arranged to hold an auxiliary supply of water;
- a gauge conduit in flow communication with the auxiliary reservoir;
- a float disposed in the gauge conduit and visible through at least a portion of the gauge conduit, the float arranged to shift within the gauge conduit in response to changes in the auxiliary supply of water in the auxiliary reservoir;
- and
- a supply conduit operatively coupling the auxiliary reservoir and the primary reservoir.
