Side by side: G1 Shockwave, Toyco Astro Magnum & Entertech SS-28. |
Officially produced in 1985 by the 'American Entertech Corporation'
Made both in Hong Kong & Macau.
LJN produced a line of battery-powered water guns under the name of Entertech.
The SS-28 Electronic Water Laser was one such gun. The mold of the gun is easily identifiable as coming from Astro Magnum or a Transformer's Shockwave figure. This was part of Entertech's first generation models produced in the mid to late 1980s.

The barrel/cannon portion of the gun as well as the back sound system & scope are almost identical to the Astro Magnum mold.

The water gun can connect to the "Motorized Power Back Pack" by a tube. The back pack has straps for a kid to actually wear.
The gun can also stand alone and be used without the back pack.
Other manufactures released similar style sets that incorporated both a water gun and a water supply backpack. Here TOMY in Japan released their motorized water laser gun called the:
Fengun Takeshi Castle Fengunsui Gun X-2
痛快!水流連続発射! これはもう、水鉄砲を越えている!!!
風雲たけし城
ふう うん みず でっ ぼう 風雲水鉄砲

In addition to launching water up to 25' away, when the trigger is pulled the gun flashes pink and green "Photonic Lights" from each end.
The gun also emits a wildly annoying "Ultrasonic Laser Sound".

While the SS-28 used the white space age galaxy look of Astro Magnum, other first generation water guns by Entertech were black and looked more like actual real guns.These guns predated the eventual requirement for orange fluorescent tips on toy guns.
