Haven't seen a SoakerTag CPS 4100. Hasbro appear to be rereleasing as many soakers as they can with SoakerTag.

No they're not. They just never discontinued the 4100, everyone knows that.

I got one for 14 bucks. Trigger seems fine to me. A lot of people complain about it breaking
I'll bet my first soaker was worse than yours.

^Dude... it's because there are no NEW CPS guns. Just releasing the same bloody one over and over does not a CPS line make. And truth be told, the 4100 isn't that great to begin with. There are much, much better models they could be re-releasing, but for whatever reason, it seems they'd rather just keep rehashing the 4100 for the forseeable future.

I honestly don't see why they can't re-release something like the 1500 if they can re-release the 4100. I bet it'd sell better, seeing as it doesn't look as "threatening" to the soccer moms.

Jeez, only post Numbah' 2 for me here, You'd think I would post more.

Anyway, I don't think I'd mind if they came out with some "new" line of SS guns that had CPS Technology, but under a different name.

And, while on the topic of less "threatening" guns, They would release they're next guns with names like "The Happy Blaster" and, "The Fuzzy Puppy Gun", just to make parents feel "Safe" about they're kids using it. And some parents know how CPS guns work, and they say "Too Dangerous."

The CPS 2100 is a better all around soaker to have than the 4100 because of its durability and similarity to the trusty 1000/1200. Unfortunately, it dosen't seem to have been rereleased wwith Soakertags and is only available as an overstock. Hopefully it will be rereleased or Hasbro will no longer have soakers of that class.

My 2100 leaks like crazy and lets the whole pc-full out in one shot.

Sounds like it's defective. Call Hasbro and have them send you a CPS 4100.

I was like that when my 4100 was new and the trigger seemed fine. Believe me, if it's an mk2 4100 and the trigger isn't reinforced, it's probably going to break.

Yes, my CPS 4100's trigger also broke and for me it was a mk1 because I bought it in the winter of last year at a TRU as an overstock. The PC is still pressurized to this day.

I once got a broken trigger on my CPS2000. The funny bit was that I opened it up to pull the metal rod that conencts the trigger to the valve at the front, and it let out a huge streamer of water onto the wall of my kitchen(luckily it was tiled) and it came off the wall and drenched my dad. We bot hended up pissing ourselves laughing, it was so funny to see his face. :laugh:
