I seemed to have fixed the trigger valve issue, two quadruple-upped rubber bands (it will be hard pulling the trigger regularly now!) my new issue is that the two halves won't come together cleanly when I try to reassemble my soaker. The area of interest is right above the nozzle, up to the strap l...

It doesn't want to come together, with nothing blockading the path. Is there any way to return a modded gun? Even if the mod had nothing to do with it breaking?

I already know the answer.... just want insurance :( :soaked:

Is it too late to return? It won't close up and I drilled the tiny hole (I can camo that very craftilly ;) ) But I can not take this anymore. Every time I try to fix it, it gets worse! Maybe, if I'm lucky, there will be a massive recall for malfunct engineering...one can only hope! This seems like ...

The trigger valve now only completely closes 75% of the time, but now it like to leak from everywhere (Mostly the two bottom holes....maybe because the nozzle selector wasn't lined up) Now I can't get the part where the front-belt clip goes to come together. The screw won't go home and I can see no...

Opened it up with great difficulty, messed with a rubber band on the valve (MUCH different than in the pictures, I actually had to tuck it under the screw) Didn't help much in a very hard test. I'd probably need an industrial strength rubber band, for the trigger valve is set up funky. A spring wou...

When I pull the trigger, water comes out of the nozzle, nuff said. But when I release, it still comes out at a trickle on larger nozzles, and a tiny stream on the smallest nozzle(s). Sometimes, to counteract, I pull the trigger out all the way when I release (not convenient) to put a stop, but I ha...

Aww, so what about us folk who already bought one this year?... The short end of the stick :( Maybe some day it will be a rare and valuable off market item. Mwahahahaa. Another feedback, this might go for any soaker, but the strap hurts my neck...quite a lot. Like rugburn. I feel like coating it wi...

Hmm, just noticed the new navbar layout. Very nice. :cool:
That nails it right there.

How do you keep track of score in the heat of combat? Now, I doubt anyone will try to referee on individual shots, it'd probably be 1/2 soaked you go out and only flag caps score points. Micromanagement is so Rollercoaster Tycoon 3... That wasn't fun. Thanks for all the input. I will probably wait ...

My first ever mod (I feel bad for hurting the soaker though :( ) But it isn't just cosmetic. It actually improves it. The water is less bubbly since there is no air being pulled through it. You MIGHT get a bit wet when filling though, it likes to put a trickle which collects into drops. I used a fa...

What is a soakfest? From what it sounds like, you spray someone so much that they can barely walk. It isn't really my team that would have issues, I know guys that would strap bandanas around their forehead and rough it in the woods. It is the other team that I don't think is very soaker-savvy, the...

Probably 5-6 on each team (maybe more)

And no, this is just on asphalt and grass, there is not going to be much stealth element to it. Maybe asking a place with such battle-hardenned people was a bit of a mistake :oo:

Back to the orca, I recently drilled a hole in the sucker. Thing is much quieter now, seems to pressurize fast, and gets less air in the shots (air bubbles from the original would be pulled into the intake tube.) I would highly recommend drilling to everyone! It only has minor dripping while fillin...

I took all of your advice on how to set up a water war, and now I think it is coming together (I know a guy who might actually have a monster/XL or CPS, but he is not sure) Teams are forming and there are things I am confused on, since this is a crashcourse into soakage. Warning: Newb questions ahe...

The first one with a hydroblitz! You must have been one brave sonuva to spend so much on that...then again, we don't know too much about it! (except it holds LESS than the much smaller orca [about 9-10oz] Which of course means wasted space.)
