I personally like it as an option, especially if I need extra long reach to the stern.

Heck REI even markets them as bilge pumps:

I take it your a water gun user. Yes your right, better than nothing, but using it as your primary way to remove water from your kayak in an emergency situation....is like I said..no offense but stupid. Using the watergun for small amounts of water is just fine, and I'm not arguing that it wont' pump water... If your watergun is the only device you use to quickly remove large amounts of water in your hull...you should re-evaluate it.

Even with the "correct" pump it's going to be difficult to pump out all the water quickly. With the water gun....like I said I shouldn't have to explain why it's a bad idea...
