Re: Buying Super Soakers in bulk

If you can get Flash Floods, those seem to be the best of the easily accessible guns. The same or similar is the Arctic Blast. The performance review in the database differs for each of them, but I forget in the favor of which. They're compact, powerful, and versatile.

Re: Want to Trade: 2000-01 Monster XL

I have a 1000 and a 2100 that I don't need so much, if you'd like to swap those for the XL, I'd consider that. I don't think that would be enough however. It's up to you, just putting it out there. Not sure what your goals are.

Re: Safety Equipment

I wouldn't wear equipment even if blasters were way more powerful. I'm confident in my ability to be safe, despite the situation. There are so many greater potential dangers in life that wearing protective equipment while soaking seems silly. To me. Glasses would make sense during the daytime to dea...

Re: Buying Super Soakers in bulk

During this time of year, Ebay is my recommendation. Individually shipping each of them may be a pain however, with the cost I mean. I don't think that individual retailers have the authority to give you a discount even if you buy bulk, I would recommend going to their suppliers if that is possible.

Re: 2008 Stock Soaker Findings

The styling on the Avenger makes that one one of the ones that I'm more partial to. The cap appears not to be a screw cap however, and generally the guns that don't have screw caps are frequently more cheaply-made. I don't mean to generalize, but I hope that this doesn't occur with the Avenger howev...

I was considering getting that, but then... didn't. I Googled the name to see if anything relevant came up, and I got this extremely thorough review. It's a great review, lacking stats of course, but it's cool because not only does it give information about the hard(ish) to find product, but it's a...

I'm still stuck on how they, yet not the more typical distributors, have got this already. Anyone have any ideas?

It's being sold by Groovy Stuff Store. I've bought some stuff from them in the past, they're a reputable and quality business. Fast shipping and personable associates. I am curious, however, how exactly they have it ahead of time. Edit: Also, if anyone's interested, the picture that they have for t...

Wow- that M16 has the largest 'blaze-orange' tip of any toy I've ever seen. I'll be buying that one, and the shotgun, although out of those two I really only want the M16, I'll buy the shotgun anyway just to support their advancement back into the more realistic looking styles. Edit: When do stores...

On your number iv.), iSoaker, perhaps you could try pegboard with pegs? Those have been working great for me, to store the soakers that I don't have in plastic tubs. Perhaps this year I'll purchase this sling, as it seems like it could be effectively used to hold a soaker more securely than the Sup...

Seems like a good guess-
personally I'm doubtful that it's the Mk1 2000 however because that particular gun doesn't have the rarity alluded to in the article.

I suppose February is only a month away, but that doesn't do a ton to quell my interest. Is this the same contact that has provided information to you in the past? If so, it seems odd that there is so little he's given you. This is a shame.

In theory this sounds like a good idea to me, however in water fights, I think that the precision for the user would be far less than the alternative: a handheld one shooting in a more straight manner.

I would definitely as well suggest that man Wayne's site for information pertaining to the innards and repairs of 2000s/2500s. He does good work and is very happy to take questions.

It definitely sounds like a notion that could eventually help to make a more efficient design. Of course, I'm sure it'll take effort to get the positioning of the pump right, so as to create an ergonomic and effective design.

I hope that this is the right place to post this.
This looks like it is a cool pump, possibly with usefullness for a large scale waterfight. I came across this when I happened to be browsing a surplus site.

Here it is. Have any of y'all seen this before? I'm sure it's been up, but the review was a fun read for me, as well as the subsequent posts.
