eBay sold items suggest that recently a CPS 3200 with backpack goes for $171.88 to $225. Gun-only is considerably cheaper at $45 to $48. Please note that these are just recent prices. Prices tend to spike in the summer and decrease until the next season. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=super+so...

Glad to see people still building! I should really redo the APH page, as the costs need to be updated and I would make some changes to improve safety. I wouldn't recommend cellular core pipe for the pressure chambers. And the 3" to 2" reducers I used originally (same ones you're using here) usually ...

i dont know if this information would be useful for you guys but i plan on posting the total cost the APH once all parts are bought. That'd be useful for me, thanks. I've been meaning to redo the guide I have online and update the prices, which are 15-20 years old at this point. the idea here is si...

Thanks for posting. Glad to see these sorts of battles are still happening! That's the biggest concentration of classic CPS blasters I've seen for a while. Hopefully Spyra will eventually release something with more capacity.

Welcome to WWN!

Nice pixel art. I've thought that cold water was underused, so I encourage you to try this out. As for what type of pressure chamber to use, I would suggest trying whatever is easiest for you. That's probably some sort of bladder, whether balloons or latex tubing.

Interesting, I hadn't heard about this. I assumed it was the same as the SpyraLX when I first saw the topic. The range is particularly disappointing. I think typically more water is needed to get good range. There was an interesting series of tests by iSoaker over a decade ago where he looked into w...

It used to be easier in phpBB to make a poll, but they've hidden the option now. In the forum you want to post in, click on the New Topic button. At the bottom, there are three tabs: Options, Attachments, and Poll creation. Click on Poll creation and you can make a poll. According to the admin CP, y...

Can you provide more information? I don't know why you're having that problem, so here are some questions that will help: What's the error message? Can you provide a screenshot?

I think once a poll has been created, it can't be edited. Make a new poll if you want to add an option.

I like some blasters like the XP 150, which have larger pumps. I'm not sure how a 3/4" pump would work on something more powerful, but I think I'd get used to the difficulty of pumping eventually. So I voted for 3/4".

Hi, welcome to WWN. As I suggested to you via email, you can check some reviews for detailed statistics: http://www.isoaker.com/Armoury/Analysis/1998/super_soaker_cps3000.php http://www.isoaker.com/Armoury/Analysis/2000/super_soaker_cps3200.php Some other reviews worth considering: http://isoaker.ne...

Probably, but I don't know much about that. You should look into making a pump for your homemade blaster.

You should need at least 40 psi as I recall, perhaps more. Not all home water systems will be able to reach that pressure. You can buy a pressure gauge to test your water pressure.

You haven't provided any information about your LRT, so it's hard for me to say. The required pressure depends on the tube. All I can say is that you need more.

What's the procedure you're using to fill? Connect to the water hydrant, open valve, wait for LRT to fill, close valve, detach from water hydrant?

If that's the procedure, a check valve (one-way valve) is not needed.

The LRT might not be filling if the water pressure is too low.

How are you attaching the LRT to the water hydrant?

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.

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...
