SpyraGravity Review – A High-Tech Water Blaster with a Few Splashes of Flaws
When it comes to water warfare, Spyra has carved out a niche by creating products that feel more like futuristic weapons than backyard toys. Their latest creation, the SpyraGravity, continues this trend by delivering a grenade launcher-inspired water blaster. But while it packs plenty of innovation, it’s not without a few questionable design choices.
A Next-Gen Water Gun Experience
The SpyraGravity doesn’t shoot a traditional stream of water—instead, it launches reusable water-filled projectiles known as SpyraBlasts. Each silicone round holds about 100ml of water and is hurled at speeds of up to 13 m/s, reaching targets up to 16 meters away. In practice, this makes the SpyraGravity feel like the closest legal alternative to a water grenade launcher.
The four-round magazine system lets you launch a barrage of water bombs in quick succession, and the loading mechanism is surprisingly intuitive. Filling a round takes just a second if you submerge the front of the launcher, and the blaster features an LED interface that displays how many shots remain, battery level, and when you’re ready to fire. These small touches make the device feel more like a smart gadget than a toy.
Sustainable and Tactical
One of SpyraGravity’s biggest strengths is its reusability. Unlike traditional water balloons that create waste and need constant restocking, the SpyraBlasts are durable and easy to refill, making them both eco-friendly and cost-effective over time.
Tactically, the launcher encourages strategic play. You’re not mindlessly spraying water but instead aiming, conserving shots, and reloading with purpose. For anyone who grew up on Nerf and water guns, this is an exciting evolution.
Pressure Problems and Design Misfires
But for all its bells and whistles, the SpyraGravity isn’t perfect. The most noticeable shortcoming is the perceived firing power. While the projectiles fly fast and far, the impact doesn’t deliver the same soaking punch as traditional Spyra models. This might be a letdown for fans of the intensely satisfying blast you’d get from the SpyraThree’s single high-pressure shot.
Another major misstep is the USB-C charging port, which now requires a screwdriver to access. Previous models, like the SpyraThree, featured a simple rubber flap to cover the port—quick, easy, and waterproof. It’s baffling that Spyra would opt for a more cumbersome and less user-friendly solution in what is otherwise a polished product.
Where to Buy and Pricing
The SpyraGravity is available directly from Spyra’s official store at spyra.com. The current retail price is €109, which includes the launcher and a pack of four reusable SpyraBlasts. Extra ammo packs and accessories can be purchased separately.
Final Verdict: Innovative, Fun, but Slightly Flawed
The SpyraGravity is a brilliant concept executed with impressive engineering. Its reusable water bombs, sci-fi design, and smart features make it one of the most advanced water guns on the market. It’s perfect for those who want something unique and a little over-the-top in their water battles.
However, the reduced soaking impact and awkward charging port design are setbacks that might annoy seasoned Spyra fans. With a few tweaks—especially to the pressure system and charging access—this could easily be the king of water warfare.
