Re: What Gimmicks Did You Actually Like?

The XP 90 pulse fire was pretty fun. I messed around with a lot of the spray nozzle settings on various blasters too.

Re: 2020 Nerf Super Soakers - Return to Form?

The new XP 20 is an SS 25 https://hydrowar.wordpress.com/ss25/

I need to update my site design to be easier to browse on phones.

Re: Advice on organizing local wars

The irony of the drop off in forum interest is that reddit is hugely popular right now and reddit is basically a bunch of forums. Many of us were interested in doing multiple casual wars, but we all live far away. SEAL is 3 hours from me, Scott is 5, Storm is 6, etc. That is a long ways apart to do ...

Re: Spyra One

I didn't have money at the time, but I do now, so I plan to buy at least one. I am really excited to try this out.

Re: Super Soaker XP100 Review

I have an SS 100 mk2 and several of my friends had them back in the day. The tubing definitely didn't swell like that. I think this would be an easy mod. You just replace the tubing with some better quality tubing from a home improvement store. If you replace the trigger with a ball valve can you pl...

Re: Super Soaker XP100 Review

Where did you buy your xp 100? Also, I would hold off judgement kn the ballooning issue until more guns are tested. It could be a 1 off issue or an issue from one particular factory. Or it could be that they used crappy tubing on all of them... I replaced the stock nozzle on my SS 100 with a conical...

Re: 2020 Nerf Super Soakers - Return to Form?

I am going to buy so many of these. Just like I bought 4 Python 2 the last year they were available, because we don't know how long they will be around. I'm not too keen on the colors, but that's nothing a bit of paint can't fix. I'm willing to bet these are pinch valves and not XP technology. Pinch...

This is insane. Of course it would be designed by a NASA Engineer, just like the original.

Welcome to the board! I think the shot last or rattler would be your best bet. The shot last is pretty fun.

Re: SS50-Colored Shoe

Even the logo looks like Super Soaker. Pretty cool. Did not realize that this was NBA related or I would have checked it out earlier. Russel Westbrook is known for his fashion.

Im also moving this to the humor section.

Re: MOAB 2019

Hi Everyone, I wanted to provide you with a general update. After being unseasonably cool and in the 70s much of last week it is projected to be pretty hot, just like last year. Friday 95/65 Saturday 91/68 Hopefully this will change, but if it doesn't then we need some sort of plan. Our high for tod...

A couple questions and concerns though: -I'm assuming the battle takes place on Saturday? If I come I might want to do some other things as well, such as visiting my cousin in Raleigh and going clubbing or something. Yes, the battle takes place on Saturday. -How many hours is the battle to last? I'...

Re: MOAB 2019

*official war update* It looks like we should have about 10 people for this war. There are several others who may come, including Will, Noah, SSS track and field team, one of my friends from Red Scorpion, and John. But I am going to plan as if this is currently who we have. Historically MOAB has bee...

So it sounds like this thing is happening! Sweet, it has been too long. I've texted Rob and David to see if they are coming and need a ride. Anyone else need a ride? I can fit 3 plus myself, so if it just Rob and David I'm going to ask some local friends. Have you heard anything back from them? I h...

Re: Plastic Welding
