The TW-1 Squirt Gun is the Old Classic among the squirt guns: Small, cheap, with a huge tank (for its size) and a user friendly, easy trigger, which allows a shot of water to fly for a bit more then a metre with little force.
A total of circa 30 shots can be stored within the body of the simple, translucent body available in a wide range of colours, which can be filled via a small, closable hole in the upper casing. Pulling the trigger actuates a small pump shaft, which draws water in and expels it upon a second squeeze of the trigger, which automatically reloads.
The TW-1 can not only be used to make your friends wet, but also to water plants or to control unruly small animals with an aversion for water (or little siblings, but where's the difference?). We recommend to only shoot water with the TW-1, everything else runs a high risk of breaking the mechanism.

Starting with orders of 500 NSD, Tauwerk puts a TW-1 in as a goodie. The non-committal price recommendation of the TW-1 for merchants is 3 NSD per gun. We sell them via our online store for 2 NSD per TW-1.

Length: 196 mm
Action: Single Action Rubber Diaphragm
Feed system: Internal Water Tank
Sights: None

The TW-2 Squirt Revolver is a Single Action Rubber Diaphragm squirt revolver fed by an internal tank.
The TW-2 is a small device, though quite heavy for a squirt gun of its size. The majority of its body is dedicated to the water tank, which holds enough for eighteen shots. Upon pulling the trigger, the mechanism pumps one of the rubber diaphragms full of water and circles it once around to the firing mechanism. Once there, the diaphragm is locked with the firing mechanism and, upon pulling the trigger, the nozzle opens. The force of the diaphragm contracting then expels the water as a singular load for up to five metres.

The non-committal price recommendation of the TW-2 for merchants is 19.99 NSD per gun. We sell them via our online store for 15 NSD per TW-2.

The TW-3 Squirt Rifle is a simple design, a classic design, the design, which has been done a thousand times and will be done a thousand times more – yet, it has never been done at this quality level.
The mechanism is reasonably simple: You have three main components, a water tank, a reservoir and a pump. The water tank is the place, where the majority of the water is stored, if you will, the magazine. Via the pump, air is pushed into the water tank, which, in turn, pushes water into the reservoir, the chamber. Two valves control the pressure in the reservoir, one connected to the pump and opening for the water to come in, and one connected to the trigger for the water to get out.
Pulling the trigger lets out a controllable and uniform stream of water at the target.

The TW-3 Squirt Rifle comes with a tank, two reserve tanks (with caps to allow for easy transportation) and a Simple Webbing. The non-committal price recommendation of the TW-3 for merchants is 30 NSD per gun. We sell them via our online store for 25 NSD.

The TW-4 Squirt Carbine is a simple design, a classic design, the design, which has been done a thousand times and will be done a thousand times more – yet, it has never been done at this quality level or this short.
The TW-4 is basically a shorter version of the TW-3 Squirt Rifle, using much of the same components and mechanisms only in a shorter body and with less range – hence the term carbine.
Speaking of which, the mechanism is reasonably simple: You have three main components, a water tank, a reservoir and a pump. The water tank is the place, where the majority of the water is stored, if you will, the magazine.

The TW-11 Assault Water Rifle is your best friend in any water battle and your enemy's wettest nightmare: Designed as a sleek bullpup electric water gun, the TW-11 can be fired fully automatic mode of one blast every second or semi-automatic.
The basic idea for the TW-11 was conceived in 2001, when Mistress Kardeel asked herself “How can I help my daughters show the neighbourhood boys how the hammer swings?” The first prototypes built in the garage looked promising, branching off into the development of the famed Pom-Pom and other water guns of Tauwerk. The current production model, the Mark V, came into serial production in 2016.

The TW-11 fires a water blast of 100 millilitres of water over an effective distance of 10 to 15 metres. The standard tank, detachable and refillable at every clean water source (and we need to emphasize that, clean water) within seconds, holds twenty blasts. The battery charge holds for around 200 shots and can be recharged over night at every socket, a cable makes sure of that.
The water tank is loaded into the rear of the water gun, a testament to the bullpup design, from where an electrically driven pump brings water into the reservoir, which leads to the nozzle via a water-tight seal. Upon pulling the trigger, the pump reservoir contracts, pushing the water out and at whatever one needs to get wet.
Immediately, the water gun reloads, unless there is no water in the tank anymore.

The TW-11 Assault Water Rifle comes with a tank, two reserve tanks, a charging cable (Teressien operates on a 230 V line voltage), a reserve battery pack, a manual and a Simple Webbing. The non-committal price recommendation of the TW-11 for merchants is 150 NSD per gun. We sell them via our online store for 125 NSD.

What happens, when the tinkerer-mom of the neighbourhood becomes a valid target for the water wars of the neighbourhood's children and said tinkerer-mom needs a way to... dissuade neighbourhood children from targetting her? The answer is the TW-12 Submachine Water Gun.
Turns out, that this answer is also quite useful for other people beset by short-range water-fights.

The basic principle and mechanism of the TW-12 is very similar to the ones used in the TW-11 Assault Water Rifle, only smaller, both in the sense of more compact and in the sense of firing a smaller payload, 20 millilitres compared to the TW-11's 100 millilitres of water. However, this enables the TW-12 to fire more rapidly (two blasts per second when compared to the TW-11's one) and to be smaller, better concealed.
While the TW-12 can be fired from the hip, we recommend extending the freely adjustable folding stock if you want to aim a bit more carefully and maybe even using the foregrip. The TW-12 is also light enough to be used with one hand or even akimbo-style.
As for the technical part, the TW-12 works, as mentioned, similar to the TW-11: The water is pumped by an electrical pump from the tank into the reservoir, which leads to the nozzle via a water-tight seal. Upon pulling the trigger, the pump reservoir contracts, pushing the water out and at whatever one needs to get wet. Immediately, the water gun reloads, unless there is no water in the tank anymore.
The water tank is slotted into the side of the water gun and holds 25 blasts of water. Much like any of the other tanks produced by us, they can easily be detached and refilled at any clean water source (and we need to emphasize that, clean water). The battery charge holds for around 200 shots and can be recharged over night at every socket, a cable makes sure of that.

The TW-12 Submachine Water Gun comes with a tank, two reserve tanks, a charging cable (Teressien operates on a 230 V line voltage), a reserve battery pack, a manual and a leather thigh holster with two slings for the reserve tanks. The non-committal price recommendation of the TW-12 for merchants is 100 NSD per gun. We sell them via our online store for 80 NSD.

What happens, when the tinkerer-mom's husband wants to play with his children and water guns, but does not want to play with the little squirt guns, instead requesting something “for a Big Boy” to play with?
The TW-13 Water Machine Gun happens.

Technically, the TW-13 is a modification on the principles of the TW-11 and TW-12, using and electrical pump to move water from the tank into the reservoir, which is connected to the nozzle via a water-tight seal. Upon pulling the trigger, the reservoir contracts, which pushes the water out and at whatever one needs to get wet, emptying it for the next blast, which is loaded immediately.
Each blast is 50 millilitres of clean water with an effective firing range of 15 to 20 metres and a rate of fire of two blasts per second. The TW-13 can only fire fully automatically.
The water tanks is slotted into the bottom of the TW-13, a tube reaching to its bottom. It holds 75 blasts and can easily be refilled at any clean water source (and we need to emphasize that, clean water) within seconds. The battery charge holds for around 200 shots and can be recharged over night at every socket, a cable makes sure of that.

The TW-13 Water Machine Gun comes with a tank, four reserve tanks, a charging cable (Teressien operates on a 230 V line voltage), a reserve battery pack, a manual, a bipod, a sling for easier carrying and a Simple Webbing. The non-committal price recommendation of the TW-13 for merchants is 200 NSD per gun. We sell them via our online store for 175 NSD.

After development and refinement of the TW-13, all seemed well. The daughters of Mistress Kardeel dominated the neighbourhood's water gun battles, Mistress Kardeel and Mister Kardeel joining in every now and again, when prompted (read, when somebody shot at them). All was well...
...until the Zeiser Family moved in next door.
Much like Mistress Kardeel, Mistress Zeiser was a tinkerer and, after catching on in regards to the water gun battles of the neighbourhood's children, decided to give her own daughters an edge as well. The Wet War of the Flintenstraße soon began, an arms race soon followed and while that, ultimately, led to the foundation of Tauwerk as we know it today in 2003, the first result of that was the TW-14 Dogge Automatic Water Scattergun.
Upon demonstrating the prototype to her daughters, the younger, Elfi, is said to have remarked: “...he...hehe... hehehehehehe!!!”

The TW-14 we know today shares many basic principles with the Dogge Scatterguns built in 2003, but is a completely different beast today: While the original used a peristaltic electrical pump, power being generated by an induction motor connected to a pump shaft, today's TW-14 Dogge uses a fully electrical pump to fill water from the tank into a firing chamber. Said chamber is air-tight and thus, upon being filled with water, has a high pressure. Upon pulling the trigger, the water-tight seal closing the chamber off is released, allowing the water to rush out under high pressure as the air takes back its space.
A cross-shaped scatterer at the end of the nozzle sees to it, that the load of 250 millilitres is not one unified blast, but covers a large area – hence the designation scattergun.
The tank, attached to the bottom before the trigger guard, holds eight shots. It can easily be refilled at any clean water source (and we need to emphasize that, clean water) within seconds. The battery charge holds for around 150 shots and can be recharged over night at every socket, a cable makes sure of that.

The TW-14 Dogge Automatic Water Scattergun comes with a tank, three reserve tanks, a charging cable (Teressien operates on a 230 V line voltage), a reserve battery pack, a manual, a sling for easier carrying and a Simple Webbing.

In 2008, the Teressian Heavy Cruiser FFS Admiral Uther, moored in Zieselhaven as a museum ship, celebrated her twentyninth-and-a-half birthday (for the fiftyfirst time). In order to celebrate, the Prince's Navy commissioned Tauwerk to develop a special water gun system, the prototype as a present for the shipgirl of the cruiser in question, further systems to be sold at the jubilee and, if it was well-received, beyond.
It was well-received.
The TW-200 CA Water Blaster was born.

In principle, the TW-200 is a water gun like many other produced by Tauwerk with a number of design differences. The first and most important is, that the TW-200 Gun looks like a mini naval gun turret, specifically like the ones used on FFS Admiral Uther. Installed on a an assembly very much like the one used for the TW-12, including the foregrip, the TW-200 has much space for an internal reservoir, from which the blasts are drawn. An elastic tube connects the Gun to the Tank, which is carried on the back using two straps. While usually, the straps are carried around the hips and the waist, the upper of the two can be adjusted to be placed higher up. The lower strap is part of an utility belt with several pouches.
The TW-200 fires blasts from two barrels, taking ten seconds to reload. Three electrical pumps first fill water from the tank on the back into an internal reservoir and from there into a the chambers of the two barrels, each then containing 750 millilitres of water, which can be propelled over up to 40 metres effectively. A wheel on the foregrip allows the adjustment of the elevation of the barrels for maximum ballistic use (and LARPing, raising the gun itself works just fine, too).

The TW-200 stands at the beginning of a long line of Squirt Naval Artillery, a starter into the concept and principle, both for us and for customers. Used for heavy fire support in many-a-waterbattle, the TW-200 soon found further developments and fans, both on land and in the surf.

The TW-200 CA Water Blaster comes with a tank, a charging cable (Teressien operates on a 230 V line voltage) and a manual. The non-committal price recommendation of the TW-200 for merchants is 200 NSD per system. We sell them via our online store for 180 NSD.

After the, quite frankly surprising, success of the TW-200, Tauwerk began to build up on the concept, starting small: The TW-201 DD Water Gun, styled after the turret of a destroyer class of the Prince's Navy from the same time period as FFS Admiral Uther, began production in 2010.
The TW-201 is a 3.6 kilogram heavy system (when unloaded), mostly owed to the reload and firing mechanism, which allows to send a water blast of 1.25 litres 20 metres downrange with some effectiveness every four seconds. This firing speed also depends on the user, as the TW-201 is a single shot weapon, reloaded by replacing the tank mounted at the rear of the system. This is also great for LARPing-purposes.
Due to the nature of the firing mechanism, the barrel can neither be elevated nor depressed, but the entire system is light enough to be held, moved and fired with one hand by a teenager, even with both tanks loaded (precision may suffer, however).

Speaking of which, by mechanism, the TW-201 is nothing radically new, only unusual, as the system uses springs. In empty configuration, the spring is pushed forward, holding the rubber diaphragm at bay. As this is filled with water by an electric pump, the spring is pushed back, putting more and more pressure on the diaphragm and the water inside, until the tank is completely filled – upon pulling the trigger, the nozzle opens, allowing the water to take a convenient and simple way out, also allowing the spring to push forward in one massive surge.
As if fired by a catapult, the ball of water flies down the range. Ballistic arcs can be observed, if the opponent hides behind cover.
The water tanks can be refilled easily and quickly and, for better finding in case they get lost in the heat of watery combat, are built to float bottom up, said bottom being coloured in yellow and red stripes for easy finding. The TW-201 requires clean water for operation and optimal longevity.

The TW-201 DD Water Gun comes with a tank, three reserve tanks, a charging cable (Teressien operates on a 230 V line voltage), a reserve battery pack, a manual and a sling for easier carrying. The non-committal price recommendation of the TW-201 for merchants is 200 NSD per gun. We sell them via our online store for 175 NSD.

The Wasserkampfwagen I Tiger, or WKW I Tiger for short, was the first instance of the Board of Directors asking themselves whether or not the engineers had lost their marbles or if they were just pretending to.
As the name suggests, it is a tank with a pretty huge squirt gun (well, three, technically, but who's counting?), armoured in the finest iron sheets Teressien has to offer, 0.9 millimetres thick, and powered by an electrical engine.
The WKW I was developed by the University of Dorch and is produced by the Hammacker Motorenwerke. Testing was undertaken by the extremely capable Streitkräftemuseum Dorch Sensha-Do Team.
Tauwerk does not take any warranty for any incidents involving any of our products, including violations of the local road traffic regulations.

Design
It's a tank. Seriously, we're not joking here, this is a tank with a huge water gun (we'll talk about that in a moment). Ever wanted to feel like the King of the Beach? Now's your chance.
The basics are pretty simple: 1.2 tons in weight, 5.6 metres long, 2.9 metres wide, 2.5 metres high, 0.9 millimetre thick iron sheets as hull (for comparison, that's a smidgen thicker then the sheet metal used on most cars by HMW). This is a crewed vehicle, which needs, for maximum effectiveness, three people, a Commander, a Gunner/Loader and a Driver.
We recommend for the latter to have a license.
Two wide caterpillar tracks on each side, for ideal distribution of the ground pressure so that the vehicle doesn't sink in, are driven by six road wheels on each side, which, in turn, are actuated by a 300 PS Otto Engine, which uses hydrogen as a fuel. This allows for a maximum range of 400 kilometres and a top speed of 80 kilometres per hour on roads, provided the tank is filled up properly. The engine and transmission, as well as all other mechanical systems, are designed to be as simple as possible in order to allow even beginners to maintain their WKW I.
The WKW I can ford to depths of up to 50 centimetres and can, with further preparation, ford depths up to three metres. The WKW I is fully air-conditioned and can be isolated from the outside atmosphere (which is part of its fording capabilities). All three positions aboard have outside cameras on remote-controlled mounts, which allow for a 360 degrees view, plus a rearview camera for the driver, plus a cupola for the commander.

Armament – the WKWK I 1000 g
The WKWK I 1000 g, or Wasserkampfwagenkanone I 1000 Gramm, is the main armament of the WKW I. From the breech to the muzzle, it is a 1.9 metre long device, the majority being the barrel, 1.6 metres in total. The entire mechanism is housed in the barrel and the breech.
It is an electric water cannon, loaded by filling the breech with water. The load is 1000 grams of water, a kilogram or, roughly, a litre of water. This load is introduced by loading a filled shell (similar to the reserve tanks used by the TW-3 and TW-4 Squirt Rifles and fully exchangeable with them) into the breech, the mechanism will take care of the rest, while the Gunner/Loader aims and prepares to fire. The water from the shell is pumped into a diaphragm connected to the nozzle. Behind that diaphragm is a piston, which, upon the trigger pull, smashes forward and contracts the diaphragm, pushing the litre of water through the nozzle at high speed and over a good distance.
While you can fire a shot, that lands two hundred metres down the line, the blast by then will be a drizzle. The maximum effective firing range is more along the lines of a hundred metres, plus or minus a few depending on the wind. We recommend to not aim the WKWK I at your friends at ranges closer then five metres, because the blast hurts (we do not take any responsibility or warranty for any mishandling).

But wait – there are three guns onboard, right?
That's right, the WKW I comes with a TW-13 Water Machine Gun coaxial to the main gun and a pintle mouted TW-13 on the commander's hatch. For details, see their entries in the catalogue.

Price and Delivery
The WKW I is a Medium Water Gun Tank, a huge vehicle of 1.2 tons. We build them on demand, which takes a bit of time. After ordering and confirmation of payment, it will take around a week to build the machine and a varying amount of time to deliver.
You are only able to order the WKW I by our online shop. We sell them for 20,000 NSD a piece.
The delivery will include the vehicle, the manual, 55 shells, both TW-18s and reserve tanks for them, three helmets, a fording kit for fording depths up to three metres and a TW-1 Squirt Gun.
