*Pops head out of shame*
Yeah, this may seem like the newbish question to you hardened pros, but I have no idea how to go about making a backpack mod.
I checked doom's BP mod but the instructions confused me at one point.
Oh, and another thing, this will be for the ORCA and we all know the wonderful cap placement on that...
Backpack, backpack!
1. Get a Gatorade bottle, or something similar. Unscrew the cap.
2. Cut off and toss away the bottom two-thirds of the bottle.
3. Cut a hole about 1/2" in diameter in the cap.
4. Get a 1/2" vinyl hose tube.
5. Epoxy the tube into or on the hole in the cap.
6. Get some trashbags.
7. Slide the remainder of the Gatorade bottle over the neck of a trashbag - the wide part of the bottle should face down. At least a few inches of the bag's neck should still be sticking out of the top of the bottle.
8. Fold the top part of the bag's neck down, over the screw threads of the bottle.
9. Fill the trash bag with water.
10. Screw on the bottle cap.
11. Stick the bag and bottle into a backpack of some sort, with the bottle on the bottom so the water is sucked out.
I don't know how you'd connect the hose to the gun...it should be in the article.

If the cap is attached tightly, the physics is the same (i.e. reduced pressure in the reservoir should draw water in from the backpack reservoir).
In terms of attaching the hose to the Orca's reservoir, you'd either need to build your own stable air-tight plug or drill the Orca's reservoir cap to attach the hose in an air-tight manner. Vague description, I know, but I've not attempted a backpack addition, myself.

The backpack I made for my APH is very simple.
1) Get a 10L bottle
2) Drill a hole at the bottom of it (large enough to fit a vinyl tube)
3) Glue the tube to the hole
4) Get a backpack and cut a hole big enough for the tube
5) To connect it to the gun, attach the tube to a PVC fitting, or some form of pipe, which is then screwed onto the gun
6) poke a pinsized hole in the bottle's cap so it doesn't implode
That's all there is to it!

For fast filling, the other end of the tubing (that connects to the blaster) should probably be used to fill instead of unthreading the bottle. Connecting to homemades is quite simple, just use a hose barb, don't know how to do it for soakers. For the vinyl tubing, use 3/8" for the internal diameter. (with 1/2" as the outer diameter)
