I saw this movie that Duxbrian made and it inspired me to start doing some of my own.
So keep an eye out in the spring and summer, I'll (hopefully) be releasing regular videos of our training as it progresses.
Dude that is an awesome video.

Supersoaker gave is what we wanted - range, but we never thought it'd be at the expense of durabilty. I'd rather have the drrability now.

I'm planning to do a video tapping of our team's practice skirmishes, so I'll submit that sometime in May probably. Videos are great, I have a bunch uploaded just recently actually. I saw some new guns recently but my money is tied up elsewhere at the moment. I'm bringing my soakers here to school ...

I didn't vote because it depends. Three of my friends and I picked up the second version of the 4100 and the triggers broke on us right away. Horrible quality. If it was the first edition or Monster I'd actually pick those over the 1500/1700.

Modding a soaker to me is also insane taking a perfectly good soaker with collectible value and massacring it while greatly reducing its durability. I have started to look more into mods that increase the strength of the gun as well as the performance, I hate nothing more than my guns breaking on m...

I agree with Isoaker, it's a business. I understand that you are trying to tell them that we would buy it, but they are basing their decisions off of sales statistics. As for everyone's gripes about power and output I only have one thing to say. The flash flood nozzle on my flash flood (with the me...

To put things in perspective, the 3200/3000 holds 264 ounces, so I'd say depending on output speed (oz/sec) and pump time I would say that's really good.

Hey guys, what's up? I just saw some sneak attacks at Target yesterday. I personally liked the Vaporizer, so the idea of a similar gun with two nozzle options is pretty cool to me. However, what I'm most excited about is the Hydroblitz. Has anyone tried it out yet?

TOne has never appeared on Ebay. My personal theory is that they were produced just long enough to make a screenshot on the box, and then production was halted by either monetary or legal trouble.

First of all you have to have honest people playing. If you don't then rules won't work. We typically play short (well not really) battles of 1 hit kills. Territory is rather ambiguous although you kind of know who's in control of what area by who has pushed the other team out of that region. We al...

I totally agree with you about fortifications being bad if you are outnumbered. I think the key is mobility actually. If you can do hit and run missions, and then isolate them and take them on one at a time you will win.
