Well, first off I'd like to say hi to everyone here again. I've been VERY busy during the summer, but still had some time to do quite a few nice water fights. I've in the meantime picked up myself a CPS 1000, CPS 1200, and and XP 150, and a MAX-D 3000 (which is a wonderful gun). My 1000 is the best...

I tested the APWL again today. While there's still a large leak, it holds high pressure. The problem is efficiency. The optimal ratio of water to air is smaller than I thought, and you have to nail it for the best shot. When the ratio is exactly optimal, you get an amazing shot. If not, the shot is...

I think it will probably sell, but not at the high prices we have seen over the last couple of months. People tend to go for non-modified guns sooner than painted/modified ones. Furthermore, I would wait a while if you do decide to offer it for sale on eBay, as it is currently being flooded with a ...

Thanks for all the replies. I'm glad I didn't have to go to opening the front. I was in the house on the computer. Anyway, I had removed the orange plastic thing the trigger is mounted on, and the trigger valve piece that you know slides down the pump? I tried pulling on that, but I couldn't get en...

My CPS 1200 was halfway through its first battle, and, when I was completely pumped up, I somehow overpressurized the PC. Anyway, the valve is jammed, and the trigger doesn't have nough leverage to get the valve open. So I opened up the 1200. At least tried to. I know that if I can get it open, I c...

Get the Max Infusion Overload, and set it to the wide nozzle. :) Which shoots 20 feet. :laugh: There aren't really any good ambush/sniper MI guns this year. The FF is good for ambush, but there's too many durability problems. The STE Devastator or MI Overload? The Devastator is CPS and is better in...

Replies: 7

is there anything I should keep in mind when using it? (like how many times to pump it without breaking it) I believe it will say how many times to pump it on the box you get it in. Be careful with the trigger. The Triple Shot uses a Max-D trigger, I believe, so it could break anytime. Treating the...

The XP150 is a great all-purpose air-pressure soaker. Sadly, there are no equivalents produced these days to its power and performance. Before the CPS series, the XP150 was *THE* soaker to have. The newer version has a better reservoir attachment than the original. It may feel on the flimsier-side,...

My original 1993 XP 150's tank did seem a little unusual at first, but I have not run into any problems with it. I believe that you have the 1998 version from what you have described though, and that probably threads on differently. If you were expecting anything impressive from the riot-blast nozz...

Unless someone is always trying a gamble, the 2005 Flash Flood reports should indicate what one can expect of the 2006 Flash Floods. And it also might will indicate what next year's super soakers will bring. On a sidenote, have I mentioned that my very used SS50 still shoots after 17 years? Well, I...

Hey all, I just got an XP 150. Actually, I got it about a week ago, but I opened the box it and the 2 1200's I won came in just yesterday, because I have been gone at Lake Tahoe for a week (that's a different story). I haven't tried it yet, but the pump pushed air, so I know it works in that regard...

Just return it. It wasn't your fault it broke, was it? Or did you abuse it in some way?

$8 for shipping isn't bad at all. That's only $18 total, not bad for a Blazer.

I gotta say, nice! I'd get a Defender and do this mod myself, but it looks a little tricky. :(

And here I thought the Defender was already a respectable gun.

If you think a gun on par with an XP-70 is a respectable gun... ???

I got a FF, but I ended up returning it. :goofy: The 2006 FF trigger feels really strong. But don't get an Aquapack, unless you want trouble. I bought an Aquapack with my FF, and the Aquapack caused the FF's main tank to suck in, because it created a vacuum, reducing its water capacity to 2/3 the o...

Even in soakfests, I can last quite a while with my 2000 or 1000. Tap shots are really effective, and really help your water supply.
