Well i'm going to wal mart today and I want to pick up a new gun. (My max d secret strike isn't working right)
and I wanted to know which guns do you think they would have and which one I should get.

Alot of people say the flash flood is good but I'm afraid it'll get the same nozzle leaking problem as my max d

so I'm kinda leaning torwards the aquapack devastator.

If you have any reccomendations, I would appreciate them

Many people will say to get the APD. I like them both. I've never had any leaking nozzle problem. Just keep the reciept incase you need to return it like others had to. Go for the APD if thats what your looking at. Just be weary of the laggy pump.

What do you mean by laggy pump?

When you try to pump fast, it doesn't go smooth, like its pushing only air. Both the APD and Arctic Shock have this problem. Its doesn't detract too much from the soaker. I'm sure Isoaker or one of the other more expirenced members could explain it better. Have you checked out the Isoaker review? Its very detailed.

yeah, i just called my walmart and toysrus and the APD is $30 and I can't get that. So I'm gonna have to try and find a different gun. Maybe I'll get a triple agressor or something.

yay but if the flash flood has the same type of trigger design as the secret strike I don't want it.
Because eventually it'll stop working right and leak

There is a way to fix that problem, and from what I've heard it is not very difficult. Look around in the FF mods topic in the Workshop forum, I think the information or a link to it is in there. Either way, in no way is the Triple Aggressor worth its price.

When you went to Walmart did they have Water Warriors guns? If they did look into buying one of those. I would recommend buying (if they have them) a Pirahna, Blazer or the Aqua/Hydra Pak. The Pirahna and the Blazer has a new more improved version with different colours and better nozzles with better power (but I am not sure about the power aspect). :blazer:

:cool:

The WW Blazer is very nice with multi nozzles and a tracked pump. Same price as the FF. If possible and your stores have it, go for it. Kmart is the only place I've seen with the new Blazer. TRU had the smaller WW soakers and the Lightning, Triple Agressor, Arctic Shock, FFs, 2 packs of the Secret Strike and XP-210 I think. My Wal-Mart has only has the WW gremlen, Arctic shocks helixes, liquidators, and vaporizors. Sams Club had MxD6k 2 packs at $20.

Stores must vary from place to place. If your Walmart has a Blazer I'd say get since it is flexible and works very well overall.

Yes, but the Triple Aggressor has the same trigger design as well, from what I know.
