Pre-charge system is new system, press button on side of gun and pump (17-20 times until button pops out) and gun is pressurized until you release the pressure. Add water, pump 3 times for maximum pressure and blast. We think it is pretty cool system.


This sounds to me to be something that only would work on pressurized reservoir type guns. At least that's the only way I could see it working cheap (unless it get really complicated, and I don't think it will). I do suppose that it pressurizes an air chamber and then the last 3 pumps put it into the other chamber. Or if it is a separate PC type gun, I suppose the last 3 pumps put a lot of water into a PC and then pressurize it. I don't know, and I doubt Big Bee would tell us how it works (don't want secret designs being common knowledge). I'll figure it out for myself.

Currently I'm in China visiting family so I'm at the same time zone as Singapore. The only official soakers I've seen are overpriced Spiderman 2 Cannons. Unfortunately, no Water Warriors or Super Soakers to speak of around these parts. However, I did see a bunch of pump-action dime-store water guns with a CPS 1700 look. Those members in Singapore are lucky to have almost all of the WW soakers available to them.

Aqua-Pak-- 200oz capacity back pack canon

200 ounces is about 6 liters. Thats a pretty good amount for a backpack cannon. I just hope the blasters will be able to compete with the other soakers on the market. The quick fill tech sounds cool, and I will be picking up an AquaTech pack. Cool name, sounds like a good gun, just curious on the looks, range and power now. :;)

Even with the bountiful array of new WW soakers that will be released next year, I won't be able to get purchase the more powerful ones if soakers such as the Blazer and AquaPak are still only available at K-Mart. I hope that they become available at stores in my area such as Wal Mart, Target, and TRU.

Wow! I'm so excited! My heart is racing! The best lineup since the 2000 Super Soakers!!!
Ooooh, I wanna just hug you, Big Bee! The Stinger sounds like it will become the premier sidearm with the belt-clip you're adding!
Where can we buy these things online, and when will be able to find them in stores?

How I think the new charging system will work:
When you pump 17-20 times without water in, it fills up a balloon-like thing in the pressure chamber with air. Once the water is added, when you pump, it fills up a separate balloon-like thing in the PC with water. The air balloon remains inflated the whole time, so there is always pressure and you only need to pump the three times to add water into the chamber.

Does anyone follow? :goofy:

For reference, the CPS 3200's backpack was 8L, the AquaPak's Backpack is slated to be 6L. Not too big, not too small. Me likey!

I'm interested to hear what kind of firepower the backpack features. What kind of gun does it have? Diaphragm powered? A big piston gun?

200 oz?!?!?! that's crazy! cool! I'm glad there will be larger nozzles on the blazer, that thing wasn't exactly high caliber. I think the pre charger thing is basically a separate pc air pressure, but you pump air in then you pump the water in with it. the button is to tell you when pumping more air in will not leave enough room for water. Am I right?

P.S., I too am interested in the nozzle sizes of the backpack.

Due to the large size of the AquaPak, it is logical to think that it has larger nozzles then the updated Blazer. Hopefully, it's largest nozzle will be around a 10X, which might also be the most power companies are willing to give for their soakers.

I won't speculate until I hear from the Yellow Jacket himself.

yea, we shouldn't spread "unofficial expectations". Hope the new line will be good and a good luck to the new water warrior products.

Probably busy presenting his new products to retail stores everywhere. By giving us a preview of the 2005 lineup, Big Bee is likely done with us for a while until he's ready to show us pictures or something. He'll probably be more active when we're reviewing his 2005 lineup later in the winter/early spring. At least that's what I guess.

I wonder when the site will be updated with the 2005 lineup of Water Warriors soakers. It's probably one thing to tell us about the new soakers but another thing to publicly show the images online. Therefore, it might be a while before the site is updated.

At this rate, Buzz Bee toys will be updated before Larami's, anyway.

Edit: Sorry. Hasbro's. Yeesh...

The aqua-pack sounds pretty good to me. I hope its got a 10x or close to 10x nozel.
I'll bet my first soaker was worse than yours.
