2nd Gen Desert Integrated Fire-Breathing Water Gun (Transparent Blue)

The TF211497 is the second generation of the desert fire-breathing water gun, a compact pistol form with a drum reservoir hanging under the grip and transparent casings on both colourways, one blue and one smoke grey. CASE EJECTION is printed along the flank and the muzzle carries the LED flame effect that gives the fire-breathing family its name. The pack contents are the part that matters commercially: the photographs show two interchangeable battery packs and two USB charging leads, so the unit runs on one cell while the other charges, which is what keeps a water fight going rather than stopping it for a recharge.

The packing is among the most economical in the water range. A carton holds 72 pieces at 0.157 CBM and 20.4 kg gross, which works out at 0.28 kg per unit, and a 20GP takes 178 cartons, 12,816 pieces. The 216-piece minimum is three cartons, 0.471 CBM. Because the unit is light and the carton is dense, this is one of the few models here that prices acceptably by air: 216 pieces is 61 kg gross, which is a small air consignment rather than a pallet.

At $3.42 it carries the same unit price as the TF210969 and the TF212706, so the choice between the three is about form rather than cost. The TF210969 is the third-generation volume model at a 240-piece minimum, the TF212706 is the long Ice Burst blaster, and this one is the compact pistol with the spare-cell pack. A buyer who needs the lowest freight per unit and a small entry order will find this the easiest of the three to test, and the two-cell pack is the detail that sells it on the shelf.
