Nerf Super Soaker Point Break: Internal Pics
Nerf Super Soaker Point Break internal pictures posted.
A pic of the Point Break's internals was linked to from one of soakernerd's earlier posts. I still opted to open up mine to see it for myself and to take and share more pictures of the internal set-up of this blaster.

For reducing costs, nothing beats this design but the piston pumper and squirt gun!

given the way this blaster is designed, a ball valve was definitely a feasible option, but they used a pinch valve instead. why? by the time we figure it out, hasbro would have already made a dozen more inexplainable designs.

The "advantage" of using a pinch trigger is that there's no need for a pressure release valve since the pinch trigger will open itself if reservoir pressure gets higher, opening well before there's a chance of reservoir structural failure. Ball-valves, on the other hand, will not open if there's too much internal pressure, thus requiring some sort of pressure limitation mechanism for safety. That said, for the cost of the additional styling, better plastics, etc., one would have thought a ball valve and pressure release valve wouldn't have affected cost.thelaminator wrote:given the way this blaster is designed, a ball valve was definitely a feasible option, but they used a pinch valve instead. why? by the time we figure it out, hasbro would have already made a dozen more inexplainable designs.

Hasbro can't even make a PR pistol. Sad, just sad.

I would assume that the fact that the tube is shaped more ore less like ^ has a negative affect on range. I would guess that if the water traveled through a straight tube after the pressure was released it would shoot further.

I would guess that if the water traveller through a tube that was wider than a pencil lead it would shoot further.
Does the reservoir have an intake tube? Given the rest of the blaster, I would not be at all surprised if it didn't (therefore meaning there'd be no shot time when shooting angled up).

Re: Nerf Super Soaker Point Break: Internal Pics
There's a slight curve upwards just before where the pump comes in on the reservoir in the back. If there's a tube, that's probably where it is. Of course, with that said, I wouldn't be surprised if they fumbled up the thing and placed the tube too close to the pump connection, resulting in air getting into the shot, but even Hasbro/Nerf doesn't seem to screw up on that sort of thing, even if they'll intentionally screw up the rest of the blaster.
