A cartridge-type water bomb water gun conversion device, comprising:
- (a) a cartridge-type water bomb, comprising:
- (1) a main housing having a frontward portion and a rearward portion rotatably connected to one another and having a passageway with a discharge outlet through both of said frontward portion and rearward portion for receiving a shut off valve;
- (2) a shut off valve located within said passageway of said main housing and connected to said frontward portion and said rearward portion of said main housing and adapted so that when said frontward portion and said rearward portion of said main housing are rotated relative to one another, said shut off valve is moved from an open position to a closed position;
- (3) a locking means connected to one of said frontward portion and said rearward portion of said main housing and releasably connected to the other of said frontward portion and said rearward portion of said main housing such that said frontward portion may be rotated relative to said rearward portion to move said shut off valve to a closed position and said locking means may then be used to releasably lock said frontward portion and said rearward portion relative to one another to hold said shut off valve in its closed position until subsequently released;
- and,
- (4) an expandable bladder connected to said rearward portion of said main housing so that fluid may pass through said shut off valve in the open position and expand said expandable bladder to a predetermined volume of fluid, said frontward portion of said main housing may be rotated relative to said rearward portion so as to move said shut off valve to its closed position, and said locking means may then lock said frontward portion with said rearward portion, with said expandable bladder filled and said shutoff valve in its closed position, whereby said locking means may be subsequently released such that said expandable bladder filled with fluid will rapidly contract and expel fluid through said shut off valve to simulate a water explosion;
- wherein said cartridge-type water bomb may be used by itself to be released and generate a water burst, and, alternatively, may be mounted on a water gun for multiple firings by trigger action;
- (b) a water gun comprising:
- (1) a gun housing;
- (2) a nesting section inside and attached to said gun housing, said nesting section for receiving said cartridge-type water bomb;
- (3) a gun barrel extending outwardly form said gun housing;
- (4) an exit tube and discharge orifice on said gun barrel, said exit tube being connected to said nesting section on one end and connected to said discharge orifice on the other end;
- and,
- (4) a pinch trigger movably connected to said gun housing of said water gun and functionally connected to said exit tube so as to have a first, closed position wherein said exit tube is pinched closed, and a second, open position caused by activation of said trigger wherein said exit tube is open.
