This toy would not load, even underwater, as the directions state. My 6 year old and four adults could not get the toy to work. Disappointed!

After having loaded toypedos twice , no more loading is possible . The company claims when people have problem loading they are not doing it right - too many people it seems. Read other reviews.

product performs out of box exactly as stated by other reviewers, but is easy to modify. we took the gun/launcher apart and disabled the safety mechanisms. there are few internal parts, it is self evident which ones need to be removed and re-assembly was pretty easy. my recommendation is to buy it, but only if you get it at a substantial discount.

This thing is nearly impossible to load the toypedo into it. The kids (5 and 7) will only play with it if an adult loads it. Adults have to jiggle it around under water and push it against the pool wall to load it. I even bought an extra set of toypedos, which work on their own and are fun. When loaded, it shoots about 3 feet then descends quickly. Disappointing.

This toy is a ' bomb'- what a failure- of a toy!!! My 7 year old and I have tried- 5 other grown-ups- and 3 other 11 year olds- have tried theirs- BOO on this toy !!!! The kids were so excited- to all get this for summer- and then were SO disapointed- that some of them didn't work at all- or were near impossible to get to work !! Shame on the company- for making such an exciting toy- without- making sure- children could use it 1st- and then to sell it at [$] each- wow what a shame !!!!

The directions itself say that you can ONLY work this toy under water. Well, at 40 years old, I could BARELY work this toy under water. It was extremely hard to load the torpedos into the gun and then when I finally got it in there, it wasn't easy shooting it. I held it at the right angle and everything. So since it was hard for me, you can imagine how frustrated my 5 year old was trying to do it.
