Re: Spyra LX question/idea

From what I can gather in the video, the trigger goes around the pressure chamber, then links at the top to that white box, which then is linked to a pull valve. If you can remove that white box and then somehow link the grey part directly to the valve, I believe you'd wind up with a more traditiona...

Spyra LX question/idea

Long time, no soak. I've been out of the hobby for a while (as has many it seems), but finally seeing the internals of the Spyra LX in this spanish Youtube video has gotten my brain churning. It appears that the trigger mechanism is housed in that natural plastic colored housing, and is likely some ...

Re: If you could only have 3 water guns

If we're talking exclusively single boxed items: 1. Flash Flood w/ Aquapack Backpack (they were sold together on a few occasions) 2. Cps 1500 3. XP 150 (preferably one of the versions where the nozzle can screw off for a riot blast) If you can't tell, I'm a huge fan if all-rounder, generalist builds.

Re: 2018 New super soakers

The hydrozooka or whatver they're calling it seems like it's the most "ok" of the blastets Hasbro made since the Hydro Cannon. Viability is still rather low, but not as low as the other crap Hasbro's been feeding us the past decade.

Re: Arctic blast valve screw

Neato. Do we know which direction does what? (Ex. In = later activation, out = sooner activation or vice versa?)

Arctic blast valve screw

Has anyone figured out what the screw on the Arctic Blast's Pressure Relief Valve actually does? most guides related to disabling it just have the hole completely plugged with the screw removed, but does making the screw go in/out further change anything?

Cylindrical CPS replacement?

If I have a cylindrical CPS blaster with a ruptured bladder, what can I use to replace it? Would bike tube cut to length suffice? Not looking to increase performance, just pure replacement.

Thanks all, and soak on.

LTB: Hydroblitz

Damn, it's been a few years, huh? I'm looking to buy a Super Soaker Hydroblitz. The burst mechanism does not need to work; planning to gut that whole section out. Would like for the rest of the blaster to function, but if something other than the burst mechanism is broken, I will still consider. Pla...

Re: If You Were A Video Game Character

For a water warfare game, would love to have limited thermal-vision, improved aim, and perhaps some sort of "bullet-time" power in extreme cases where everything seems to go in slow-mo while I can precisely unleash torrents of water at my stunned opponents. :goofy: :cool: Well, you are iSoaker, aft...

I'm pretty sure I have my 2000 edition MX in storage down the road, but you said you wanted a 2002 ed. If I ever come across a 2002 ed. for cheap, consider it yours.

Re: Vanquisher Repair

one hing people surprisingly haven't noted is the Vanquisher PC is literally a Hydra Pak PC with a net around it. I'm not too sure that helps much, but it's there if you need it.
