Re: Semi homemade CPS with pieces from a XSHOT blaster
How are you attaching the LRT to the water hydrant?

Re: Hi I got nerf thunderstorm and does not seem to pump
Thanks for the video. I wasn't sure how it worked. It looks like it basically pushes the water out by squeezing the tubing. I'm assuming that you tested it with the magazine full of water. I didn't see the magazine in the video, but the video does show that motor works. It's possible that there's a ...

You can't upload the video here. We don't have the space. Upload it to YouTube or Google Drive or whatever works for you and link it here.

Hi, welcome to WWN. We're going to need some more information. If you could take a video of what is happening and upload it somewhere, that would help.

Re: The Curious XXP 175
Interesting analysis. I too would like to hear the story behind some of the stranger blasters. Unfortunately, we've heard little about internal Larami decisions from back in the day. There might be something in the book by Al Davis, but I've never seen mention of it outside of iSoaker.com: http://ww...

Re: Choosing a fun 'water sprayer' blaster
A SC 600 sounds like a good choice, particularly given how common it is on eBay. The XP 150 is also a good choice and quite common on eBay. The pump is large enough that if you pump while holding down the trigger, you can empty the entire reservoir. However, I think it might be less durable than the...

Re: Another Jurassic Park Dino Hunter's Gear
Huh, I'm not sure that I ever saw this blaster before.
And $9,999.99 might be the highest buy-it-now price I've ever seen for a water gun!

Re: SpyraThree released
You're right, the SpyraThree doesn't seem like much of an upgrade based on currently available information. I myself would like to see a CPS style blaster more like the classic Super Soaker CPS series (more capacity, no electronics, nozzle selector). It doesn't seem that Spyra is too interested in g...

Re: Spyra LX question/idea
There doesn't seem to be enough information out there about how difficult it would be to make a Spyra LX have a standard trigger. I watched the video but didn't see much about the trigger mechanism specifically. I think someone's going to have to buy one and disassemble it to get a better idea.

New 2023 water blaster news
I haven't heard anything specific about new blasters for 2023, but iSoaker has found what appears to be a new Super Soaker product for 2023: Hydro Balls . I'm not a fan of this new product. The name makes me cringe, and I doubt the safety of this product. I'd only try these if everyone had good eye ...

Here's another case of a ruptured ear drum from a Spyra: https://www.reddit.com/r/supersoaker/co ... th_spyras/
I thought what CDMT posted was just an isolated incident, but now I'm not so sure.

Re: Semi homemade CPS with pieces from a XSHOT blaster
The easiest way to go from 1/4" ID tubing to 1/2" ID tubing would be to use a reducing barbed fitting like this: https://www.mcmaster.com/5372K519/
You'll also need tubing clamps the right size for both tubes, as well.

Re: Semi homemade CPS with pieces from a XSHOT blaster
That's a strong spring. I'd recommend using a weaker spring as you don't need one that strong to close the valve and the trigger will probably be hard to pull with this spring. Also, this spring could be dangerous. Be careful with this spring in the current setup. Your current setup is putting a lot...

Re: Semi homemade CPS with pieces from a XSHOT blaster
As I wrote on the LRT guide on SSC , scissors work: Cutting LRT can be done with scissors. Cut using the part of the scissor blade closest to the joint for maximum leverage. Cutting rubber is odd--it bounces back and the thickness makes it hard to cut. The part of the blade closest to the joint has ...

Re: Spyra's non-electric blaster: "LX"
Nice find. Watching that video, I can definitely see the advantage of the LX at closer distances.
Storm Surge on the WWN Discord also noted that the LX's shots look bad initially, but once the valve is fully open, the jet looks smooth. That's something Spyra should consider in the next version.

Re: Rusted water blaster works again?
Hi, welcome to WWN. It certainly is possible that a problem could have been temporary. For instance, if some solid was clogging the blaster and preventing it from pumping or firing, continued use might dislodge the clog. (Though more likely, continued use would simply make the clog worse.) As for yo...

Re: Semi homemade CPS with pieces from a XSHOT blaster
Now I'd recommend 3 inch PVC drain pipe. The 4 inch pipe I have in the parts list was too large, causing the bladder to flop around inside the case, and making the blaster larger and heavier than necessary.
