Otherwise, I think it's just ineffective and momentary torture (although I'd love to splat a few squirrels with a water pistol now and then).

Reminds me of John Wayne and Jack Elam in
Rio Lobo.
Jack Elam fires shotgun at a distance in a gun battle. No effect.
Wayne - "That splattergun's useless."
Elam - "You don't mind my shootin' it. It makes me feel better..."
I'm too urbanised to use anything really effective. (Collateral damage, you know.) At least it'll hide when I come out....
