I have no clue what the CPS 2000's are going for now, so I'll go for a conservative $150.00.

Do I win one if I guess it right? :cps2000:

Wow... cheaper than my original CPS 2500 was ($50 Cdn.)

Still less expensive than my bike *pedals* were... ($80). I sure picked an expensive sport to mature into, haha.

When my battles usually degenerate into "everyone against me", or "hose versus me", I'll grab my gun-mounted shield.

Otherwise, I find it too cumbersome to run and dodge with.

Learning to dodge is better because it reduces your dependence on equipment.

I'm going into my first year of university this fall, at the Faculty of Engineering at the UofA.

Uhhh, if I decide I don't want to do that... I haven't considered a second option yet.

I check out SSC.net for info, but I'm too lazy to actually post there. The site itself is great for the info.

^I haven't used the JB brand of quick epoxy. My experiences have been with cheaper epoxies, which I admit work fine for holding most everything but seals or cracks where there might be pressure. I forgot to mention this the first time around :goofy:

I knew the 300 was rare, but that's still obscenely high...

From what I've heard it was a pretty powerful gun. Can anyone attest to this?

If you want to be EXTREME and crazy-like, you can always make a new pc casing out of PVC. Maybe try 2 inch PVC pipe, if the interior diameter is bigger than that of your old pc casing. If you're like me, and have absolutely no respect for the soaker casing, I would cut out everything in the way to ...

My experiences with quick fix epoxy (an hour or less) have not been pleasant. I usually end up with a seal that breaks quickly, or with less strength than I desire. If you need a quick fix, go for it, but otherwise use a strong overnight epoxy like JB Weld.

I would never put a number in my username unless I had to, for whatever reasons I may have. Having a number can differentiate you from a number of people if they have the same name as you, which happens often since brilliant people think they can use a pop-culture reference as a username. How many ...

Recently, while browsing on isoaker.com, I noticed that he had given the XP 70's nozzle a rating of 0.9x. But the XP 70 is supposed to be the soaker that all other soakers are rated against. Like the CPS 3200 has 5x, 10x, 20x and Typhoon, and the CPS 1700 supposedly has 5x and 10x the water of the ...

Does anyone know how much they retail for in Canada? I've launched Estes rockets before, and I'll get one of these if they can be found for a reletively inexpensive price.

Hey DA, can you link to the images next time? It's not a big deal, but I find it's very annoying when the forum layout is broken by a huge image. Cool pics though :cool:, sexy shampoo bottle.... Maybe you should try it outside next time, so the camera has less of a chance of being hit by the spray?...
