I have a question...

Holy water kills vampires, right? And it's harmless to humans, right?

So why didn't the Scoobies just carry around Super Soakers with holy water in 'em? Not only would it allow them to kill vampires easily from a distance, but it would've kept them from looking suspicious and/or accidentally hurting non-vampires. Plus, if they got hot after a fight, they could easily cool down.

And water balloons! They could easily have set up traps in places vampires were likely to go, and have had water balloons fall down and poof away the vampire! That'd be... a little silly, really, but a lot safer than their normal M.O.

I have a vague recollection of seeing some sort of trunk in Buffy's house that contained stakes, crossbows, various other assorted weapons and at least one little tiny bottle of holy water.

Maybe they had a hard time getting it? Maybe the church didn't want to just hand off bottles of holy water to teenagers?

Or maybe the writers just forgot.

Yeah, like they "forgot" to give the potentials flame-throwers to use against the ubervamps, and instead left them with swords and stuff.
