In particular, when the trigger is pulled, the corresponding circuit of the pump and the water flow inside the water gun are often connected simultaneously, meaning the pump and valve start working at the same time. This results in an unstable water flow output from the water gun at the beginning, and operators are also prone to accidentally spraying water due to slight trigger presses. Utility Model Content
