10The preferred weapon for the BrattyHalfPint and {{Youngsters}}. Water Balloons may be used alongside [[BratsWithSlingshots slingshots]].
11
12The contents will not always be water -- it could be jelly, ink, [[BizarreBeverageUse a drink]], or something more... [[UrineTrouble foul]]. Either that or some jerk will bring out the hose.
13
14Expect college science geeks and/or medical students with too much time on their hands to build a water balloon slingshot out of lab materials, or some other ridiculous contraption. They might also fill their water guns with liquid chemicals.
15
16Wet T-shirts and swim suits may lead to SexySoakedShirt. If the water in question happens to be in any specific way ''lethal'' to an adversary (and what better way to wield it), see also KillItWithWater.

18Compare BubbleGun. For the winter equivalent, see SnowballFight.

25* There's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hU2w8xwVNmY a rather amusing American commercial for hydrogen-cell cars]] that asks the question "What if we could replace something harmful with water?" Cue ''[[Film/TheMatrix Matrix]]''-style gunfight with water guns in place of real guns and water balloons in place of grenades.
26[[/folder]]
27
28[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
29* ''Anime/CowboyBebop'': Ed uses water guns filled with "stinky gas" in "MushroomSamba".
30* ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheGalaxySuperExpress'' have a ''weaponized'' version of this trope: the villains are a race of PuppeteerParasite aliens who can infect humans, but have a WeaksauceWeakness in the form of shriveling instantly after contact with soap solution (even if they're controlling a human host). Cue the final battle, where the heroes grab dozens of water pistols loaded with soap solution and blasting aliens and possessed humans left and right. Nobita even gets to go GunsAkimbo with water pistols and take down hordes and hordes of alien parasites in a G-Rated shootout.
31* ''[[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'': Haruhi subconsciously modified model guns into firing pressurized water balls with unimaginably explosive firepower. Dual squirt guns turned dual mini water-grenade launchers/pistols.
32* ''Manga/{{Yotsuba}}'': Yotsuba, Jumbo, and Yanda held a water balloon fight inside the house. When Yotsuba was supposed to be ''housesitting'' no less. And she even started it by ambushing Yanda with her water pistol.

34
35[[folder:Asian Animation]]
36* ''Animation/HappyHeroes'': In one episode, the school students have a water gun fight with paper taped to their chests, the idea being that you're "out" if someone is able to squirt your paper with water. This works out poorly when its starts raining.

39[[folder:Comic Books]]
40* A BeachEpisode of ''ComicBook/{{Exiles}}'' ends with Morph shapeshifting himself into a catapult in order to launch a massive number of water balloons at his companions as a prank. Only he didn't fill them with water, he filled them with ''beer''.
41[[/folder]]
42
43[[folder:Comic Strips]]
44* Regular feature on ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes''. An EscalatingWar usually follows, with the local weapons-of-mass-destruction equivalent being the garden hose, or on one occasion a filled kiddy pool. In the PrintBonus story of ''The Lazy Sunday Book'', Spaceman Spiff's [[RayGun Zorcher]] and Demise-O Bomb are in Calvin's reality a water pistol and water balloon, and only succeed in making their respective targets, Susie and Calvin's mom, wet and angry, though the grounded Calvin is still plotting a new watery prank in the last panel: a BucketBoobyTrap.
45* Appears in [[http://garfield.nfshost.com/?s=water+balloon some]] ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' strips.
46* ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot'': Water guns are the weapons for Jason whenever he's tormenting his siblings in warmer weather. In one strip, he and Marcus were firing squirt guns filled with fruit punch at each other; when they stopped to refill, they were swarmed by flies.

48[[/folder]]
49
50[[folder:Fan Works]]
51* ''Fanfic/AngerManagement'': Lynn and Luan get Lincoln with a water balloon.

And they're acting worse than Leia's toddler twins. She catches them at the hotel in the midst of a water gun fight. When she interrupts them, Luke already emptied his on Han's head, and Han had his pointed at Luke's crotch, going for the "wet his pants" look.
54[[/folder]]

56[[folder:Films -- Animated]]

58[[/folder]]
59
60[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]

76** In Part 4 Volume 6, [[spoiler:Rozemyne accidentally invents a water gun form for her schtappe. Instead of water, she can shoot mana with it, and the weapon becomes deadly when she imagines the mana as a rain of arrows like the one Ferdinand used back in Part 2 Volume 2]].
77* Harry Dresden of ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' once used water balloons filled with holy water against an attacking [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Black Court vampire]].

84[[/folder]]
85
86[[folder:Live-Action TV]]

89* When Ross is trying to convince himself his student-girlfriend isn't too immature for him in ''{{Series/Friends}}'', he arrives at the dorm to find she's having a water-balloon fight. After they split up, he thinks "She handled that really maturely. Was this a mistake?" and then she drops a balloon on him from the window while yelling "you suck!"
90** In "The One Where Joey Moves Out", Rachel finds one of her bras in the guys' apartment and asks what the hell it's doing there. Joey explains that he and Chandler were having a water-balloon fight with some junior high kids and they used the bra to fling their balloons off the roof.
91* ''Series/MythBusters'': one myth they tested was a combination of a water gun and a StaticStunGun.
92* ''Series/StargateSG1'':
93** The episode "Bane" has Teal'c befriend a young girl who carries a Super Soaker[[labelnote:*]]the original Super Soaker 50[[/labelnote]] around. After she helps save him, he gives her a "superior model"[[labelnote:*]]Super Soaker CPS-1000[[/labelnote]]...which she immediately uses to shoot Daniel Jackson. The good doctor remarks that maybe they shouldn't have loaded it. Teal'c answers if they hadn't, she would be unable to defend herself, before he pulls out an even ''bigger'' water gun[[labelnote:*]]Super Soaker CPS-1500[[/labelnote]] to chase after her.
94** PlayedForDrama in "The Devil You Know". When Apophis interrogates O'Neill using a FantasticDrug, O'Neill hallucinates that he's talking to his dead son Charlie. Charlie comes up behind Jack with a water pistol a friend gave him, but Jack gets angry at Charlie because he has a "no guns" rule.
95---> '''Charlie:''' ''You'' have a gun.\
96'''Jack:''' That's different.
97* ''Series/TheWestWing'': after noting that Josh is the kind of guy who has to be hit over the head to notice that a girl is interested in him, Amy tosses a water balloon at him from the balcony of her office as he's leaving the building, that almost hit him in the head.
98* One episode of ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'' had Cory trying to earn enough money to buy a high-end squirt gun in time for an upcoming water war.

102* ''{{Series/CSINY}}'' featured an adult version called Water Gun Wars, based on the real life Streetwars game. Players try to 'kill' each other with water guns or balloons to become the last one standing in the game and win a cash prize.

104* First episode of season 4 of ''Series/TheWire'' introduces the new cast of teen characters getting into a fight with a neighboring crew, and they decide to get their revenge by pelting them with water balloons filled with urine.

105[[/folder]]
106
107[[folder:Music]]

110[[/folder]]
111
112[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
113* Divas matches will sometimes feature these, especially during summer, for {{Fanservice}} like a SexySoakedShirt. However, Wrestling/JillianHall once [[PistolWhipping smacked Mickie James in the head with her water gun]].
114[[/folder]]
115
116[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
117* ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'': The Fluid Gun is basically a mech-scale water gun. It's not common (having been developed for use in the gladiator games of Solaris VII rather than the battlefield), but it can be used to spray a target with water, mech coolant, or dangerous substances like Inferno gel or acid.
118* ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}'' High Tech has rules for using a Super Soaker. GURPS being GURPS, it mentions loading it with paint to blind enemies wearing faceplate helmets, or with [[KillItWithWater holy water]].
119[[/folder]]
120
121[[folder:Theme Parks]]
122* The area surrounding both ''Ride/DudleyDoRightsRipsawFalls'' and ''Ride/PopeyeAndBlutosBilgeRatBarges'' at [[Ride/UniversalStudios Universal's Islands of Adventure]] has several water cannons stationed that guests can use to shoot water at people on the ride, getting them even more soaked than they already are.
123[[/folder]]
124
125[[folder:Video Games]]
126* The filthy version involving bodily fluids appears in ''VideoGame/SeventySevenPEggwife''. For instance, your first firearm is a '''Piss'''tol... guess what it shoots. There's also a less disgusting alternative, a Bleach gun.
127* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 3}}'': The Dahl corporation, which is an intergalactic gun manufacturer, sells water pistols. One gun is used to cool down Children of the Vault pistols when they [[{{Overheating}} overheat]].

129* ''VideoGame/DeadRising2'' has normal ones and improvised ones that work like [[FireBreathingWeapon flamethrowers]].
130* Certain fire-based bosses in ''VideoGame/DynamiteDux'' can only be harmed by water guns, [[BossArenaIdiocy which are always found right before the bosses in question.]]
131* ''VideoGame/EatLeadTheReturnOfMattHazard'' features these as the only weapons really effective against the [[VideoGame/SOCOMUSNavySeals Soak'em]] commandos. Hilariously, they're just as effective against every ''other'' enemy.
132* ''VideoGame/Fallout4's'' "Nuka-World" DLC has a water gun weapon called the Thirst Zapper. It normally fires harmless blobs of water until you find the Project Cobalt schematics, at which point you can modify it to fire weaponized Nuka-Cola at your foes, which cause explosions on impact.
133* In ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion3'', Kruller's weapon is a water pistol he happens to find in a nearby cardboard box. It would be rather useless against Luigi, but since only Gooigi (who melts upon contact with water) can access the combat zone, it ends up being an effective weapon.
134* A number of ''Franchise/MegaMan'''s [[PowerCopying acquired weapons]] have been water-shooters which often are [[KillItWithWater strong against]] [[PlayingWithFire fire bosses]]. Videogame/MegaManClassic has Water Balloon (from Aqua Man) and Salt Water (from Neptune) while Videogame/MegaManX has Splash Laser (from Splash Warfly), Goo Shaver that sends small water waves along the ground (from Duff McWhalen) and Meteor Rain that sends a big water blob up which then goes down (from Rainy Turtloid).
135* The ''Weird Autumn Edition'' of ''VideoGame/NightInTheWoods'' has two minigames at Harfest, one of which involves throwing water balloons at the City Council of Possum Springs who pose as Halloween monsters respectively.
136* One of the power-ups you can shoot at your opponents in ''VideoGame/ReVolt''.
137* The ''VideoGame/SenranKagura'' series has ''Peach Beach Splash'', the installment that has the girls fight each other with water-based weapons.
138** Even before Peach Beach Splash, Kafuru from ''Estival Versus'' uses water guns as her primary weapon of choice.
139* Adults seem keen to start water balloon fights in ''VideoGame/TheSims 2''.
140* ''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'' is a ThirdPersonShooter series where you use guns and other weaponry fueled by ink to attack opponents and claim territory. Burst bombs are one of the available secondary weapons and are essentially ink-filled balloons.
141* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' equips Mario with [[FunWithAcronyms F.L.U.D.D.]][[note]]Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device[[/note]], a high pressure water cannon with interchangeable nozzles. It comes in handy because [[PlotTailoredToTheParty a doppelganger of his has covered large parts of the island in a gunk like paint]].
142* ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'': The [[https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Soaktron Soaktron]] is a gun modified for the Dog Days Tactical Alert to spray water instead of toxins. It was originally going to shoot Acid, until Kela De Thaym suffered from some sort of gas leak, causing her to replace all the weapons with water guns and host Rathuum on a beach instead of an Arena.
143* ''VideoGame/WaterWarfare'' is a LighterAndSofter FirstPersonShooter based around water gun combat.
144* Your starting weapons in ''VideoGame/ZombiesAteMyNeighbors'' are water guns, specifically [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99UPQEFSGVQ Entertech motorized water guns,]] although [[WritingAroundTrademarks The game doesn't actually call them that.]] As most of your enemies are the undead, the guns are presumably filled with holy water.
145* ''[[Website/GaiaOnline zOMG!]]'': the Heavy Water Balloon. Higher Rage Ranks will use larger balloons and [[BratsWithSlingshots slingshots]].
146[[/folder]]
147
148[[folder:Web Original]]
149* "The Squirt Gun Wars" episode of ''WebVideo/CounterMonkey'' has Spoony recounting how a ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'' campaign became taken over by this trope after the players came up with a specific [[GameBreaker Game Breaking]] cocktail of poisons.
150[[/folder]]
151
152[[folder:Web Comics]]
153* ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'' had an entire story arc based on a water balloon war, "The Great Water Balloon War", between the titular creatures that was used to parody military and wartime tropes, starting [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/2011/06/20/rabbit-duck-season/ here.]]
154* ''Webcomic/{{Loserz}}'' once had a story arc about this.
155* ''Webcomic/OzyAndMillie'' indulge in a few of these. Both involve Millie, a favored target of the artist, and MoreDakka.
156* [[LoveableRogue Sam Starfall]] and [[CloudCuckoolander Helix]] from ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'' have from time to time engaged in water balloon wars, often to the annoyance of [[UpliftedAnimal Florence]] when she gets hit by a stray shot.
157-->'''[[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff700/fv00627.htm Sam:]]''' How can a species consider itself advanced if it's willing to travel between the stars and not bring water balloons?
158[[/folder]]
159
160[[folder:Western Animation]]
161* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'':

163** The season 5 finale "The Oeder Games" has Mr. Fischoeder baiting his tenants into a water balloon fight with the prospect of the winner not only being exempt from the rent hike, but getting a rent ''cut''.
164* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'': one episode involving the tree house has the Eds using water balloons. Another has them selling turkey basters as water squirters. Also Eddy's El Mundo StinkBomb.
165* On ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', Timmy, Chester, and AJ use these on Tootie when she tries to come over. At the end, Tootie uses one on Timmy.
166* WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget has one of these equipped. For some reason.
167** It's more like a miniature fire hose, and he's able to put out a fire with it quite handily. So that's probably the reason -- putting out fires.
168* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'': "The Wettening". When Dib discovers that Zim is [[KillItWithWater harmed]] [[EasilyThwartedAlienInvasion by]] [[KillItWithWater water]], he uses his super-scientist father's lab to engineer more and more advanced water weapons. Once Zim discovers that he can waterproof himself with glue, he retaliates with a satellite-mounted balloon filled with all the water on earth.
169* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'' episode "Balloon Buffoon" has Johnny and his friends trying to defend against youngsters armed with water balloons, which is treated by Johnny as a [[SeriousBusiness military campaign]].
170* ''WesternAnimation/KickButtowskiSuburbanDaredevil'': Kick and Gunthar fight Kick's older brother, Brad, for their hangout. Kick uses water balloons and Brad uses mudballs.
171* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' has Phineas, Ferb, and their friends using these to weaken and disintegrate a giant gelatin monster who came to life thanks to Doofenshmirtz's latest invention. The song accompanying the scene summarizes it as such:
172-->''"Come on, kids! Let's squirt that gelatin monster!''
173* ''WesternAnimation/RecessSchoolsOut'': During the final battle, the student body pummels Benedict's {{Mooks}} with water balloons and silly string.
174* Buster and Babs' story arc in ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventuresHowISpentMyVacation'' begins with Buster going after a sunbathing Babs with a squirt pistol loaded with ice water. She retaliates with her own, resulting in an EscalatingWar of water balloons, kiddy pools, ''Babs opening the floodgates on a dam'', '''Buster setting off a volcano with high explosives to create a tidal wave...'''
175-->'''Buster''': [[LampshadeHanging I do this water thing]] to Babs [[MediumAwareness throughout the entire video.]]
176* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
177** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS1E5BartTheGeneral Bart the General]]" culminates to an all-water balloon ''Film/{{Patton}}'' parody.
178** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E21LadyBouviersLover Lady Bouvier's Lover]]", Bart used two water guns filled with ketchup and mustard to threaten Mr. Burns when he went on a date with Marge's mother. Burns tests Bart's willingness to go through with it, which costs him.
179* [[https://youtu.be/I06nha_jLq8 This skit]] from ''WesternAnimation/WowWowWubbzy'' takes this trope to extreme measures. Here, Wubbzy and Widget are playing "water-fight" by using water balloons, with each one seen getting bigger and bigger. Hilarity ensues and they later on begin using hoses, and a gigantic water-hose/water balloon combination, which eventually leads to the whole town ending up underwater.
180-->'''Widget:''' ''[underwater]'' That wasn't supposed to happen!
181[[/folder]]

186* The ''Super Soaker CPS 2000'', is a SuperPrototype water-gun released in 1996 and was the first [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_Pressure_System Constant Pressure System (CPS)]] water gun ever made but is to this day the most powerful water gun ever sold in stores. It released a quart of water in one second in a consistent stream that went up to 53 feet. It was so powerful it hurt kids and due to multiple complaints by parents the later CPS models were made less powerful. Due to its rarity it sells on eBay for $100s of dollars and specialized home-brew water guns are specifically designed to be compared against the CPS 2000 to determine if they can beat it.
