An impressive mod indeed. Yes, I've often found that with enough skill or opponent's lack of skill, one can beat him (large CPS soaker) with an XP/MAX-D soaker. This especially applies during one-hit elimination games, where if an air pressure soaker has superior range, it has an advantage.

Looking back at the 2003 and 2004 releases of the EES and ST lines and the ending of the EES line, I predict that Hasbro's core lineup will be a new soaker line with a novelty twist. Soaker Tags will simply be assimilated into next year's lineup as a standard component of Super Soakers. Any possibl...

Yes, we have yet to see two soakers released in direct competition to each other. If such an event ever occured in some year between the lineups of two soaker-producting companies, then we could have a more solid "which is better?" thread. Perhaps next year if Big Bee rolls out several soakers mean...

Is Damon fort located on one of the dirt hills? If so, occupy it as soon as possible when the war begins, If not, try setting up a base/fort there ASAP. Even if it'd not on one of the dirt hills, try having control of Damon Hill just to have a fortified position. Also, what does the "2000" on the m...

that really depends on the nature of the diaphragm altogether. i, personally, don't know how the system works. can anyone explain? Unfortunately, Big Bee never told us much about how the diaphragm pressure technologyworks, except for the fact that it has the same effect as Hasbro's CPS technology. ...

The way I figured it was like this: The ratio of 1 to 1.5 means an increase of 50%. 50% of $55 is $27.5. $27.5 + $55=$82.5. That's several dollars more than $75. Now that I'm thinking about it, 82.5 is the average between $75 and $90, so we're both half-right.

Would it be possible to mod an air pressure PC to a diaphragm chamber similar to that of the Water Warriors line? Or is that impossible due to a lack of much knowledge on the diaphragm system?

A monster XL costs £55 over here. How much is that in american dollars? Since that's in euros then it's definetely overpriced. USing the 1:1.5 ratio, the US$ price of the MXL where is you is over $75. Back to the topic, I'm sure that Marvel will release yet another Spiderman cannon when Spiderman 3...

I don't get it. You say that 1 AUD = 70 USC. Then you say that 80-100 AUD = $45, which defineltely isn't in a ratio of 70 to 1. Does USC stand for something other than US dollars?

If you could compare the output of the Stinger's stream to that of a Super Soaker, which soaker would it be? Unfortunately it's broken now so I guess you'll have to guess based on your past experiences firing it.

Interestign but very risky for someone like me because I'm terrible at tech stuff. Most of the times I've tried to take apart a soaker I've broken them.

An xp220 vs cps 2700? Thats kinda cruel man. Not if it was a one-hit-kill game. A person with XP/MAX-D soaker could beat another person with a CPS soaker if the first person had better manueverbility and range. Then again, the 220's range isn't good enough to challenge the 2700 but at least with on...

Strange how this has become an anime thread rather than an ebay thread. Oh well. Perhaps we should have a seperate anime thread in this forum.

I saw it at my local shops and it was $45! I was wandering whether it was worth it but now I know not to. Even if it was a CPS soaker, I would still call $45 overpriced. Only the MXL had a regular price over $40 and the MXL is certainly a lot bigger than the Spiderman/Hulk cannon. Also, with the ce...

Although most of Larnard's soakers are pump-action, some of them employ air pressure. Is the Stinger one of the air pressure soakers or is it part of the pump-action majority? Also, how much was shipping on the Stinger you won on ebay? One more thing I'd like to note is that Lanard dosen't have a c...
