Vesipisto

Vesipisto is a Finnish term that translates to "water pistol" in English. It refers to a toy gun designed to shoot water. These toys are typically made of plastic and come in various shapes and sizes, from simple, handheld models to larger, more complex designs with pumps or reservoirs.

Water pistols are popular children's toys, often used for outdoor play during warm weather. They function by holding a reservoir of water, which is then propelled out in a stream or spray when the trigger is squeezed. Some advanced models might incorporate mechanisms to increase the pressure or range of the water stream.

The design of water pistols can vary widely. Basic models may have a simple trigger mechanism that forces water out of a nozzle. Others might have a pump action that builds up pressure within the toy, allowing for a more forceful shot. Larger water cannons can sometimes hold a significant amount of water and may require two hands to operate.

While primarily used for recreational purposes, water pistols are generally considered safe toys. However, as with any toy, adult supervision is recommended, especially with younger children. It is also advisable to avoid aiming water pistols at people's faces or eyes to prevent discomfort or injury. The use of clean water is recommended to avoid potential contamination.
