Project background
This client's son does not have the strength or dexterity to hold and operate a water gun you would find in stores. He will be going to Disney World later this year would love to be able to independently use the gun. This project takes inspiration from this MMC device but requires more adaptation: https://www.makersmakingchange.com/s/product/switch-adapted-water-gun/01tJR000000694PYAQ

Your task is to design a device which can hold a commercial water gun and mount it to a stroller or wheelchair and be able to position it to aim it in different directions. It must be easy to attach and operate. It must also be switch adapted with a female jack. A manual or electric water gun can be used but the system should be rugged and waterproof. Ideally the chosen water gun would be a solid colour and have a large water tank so it does not need to be refilled very often.
