Re: Duelfest 2018

marauder: I just checked the old Duelfest thread and you didn't do 275 vs. 150, but you did do 250 vs. 150, and the 150 lost 4 to 11. Then the 275 narrowly beat the 250 4 to 3, and in turn was beaten by the Gorgon 3 to 1. Since the Gorgon is basically on par with the best medium guns, I'd suggest m...

Re: Duelfest 2018

Great writeup. I would like to run that 300 vs 2000 test again with different people since you are so used to using the 300. SEAL, it's ok if you use the term sniping, we all know what you mean by that within the context of a watergun fight. I think Rob and I did the 275 vs 150, but I will have to g...

Re: Favorite Type of Fighting?

Field: Generally I prefer flood plains with a mix of forest and high grass. Ideally this location has some changes in elevation but nothing too steep/hilly as this only seems to promote a race to the top. IMHO, the best type of elevation changes are small ditches or ridges no more than 5 feet in he...

Re: Duelfest 2018

Hmm, very interesting. What are the stats for the Storm 2500? isoaker doesn't have them. Not sure if the 150 is the "greatest" light primary ever, but it is favored by a lot of people. Also you can't call the 750 the greatest pistol of all time until you match it up with an MD 4000, Liquidator, Tri...

Re: Time Spent Fighting at Major Wars

Am I the only one who actually likes hunting the enemy? In the last war it was almost as fun as the fighting part. We were moving in formations, watching all sides, and even did some tracking when we found some trampled grass that ended up eventually leading us to the enemy. It felt a bit like a re...

Re: Time Spent Fighting at Major Wars

I do think overall time spent on the battlefield is a valuable metric, but Rob also has a point about fight time. Consider my opinion to lie somewhere in between. I often don't mind hunting but this year we literally covered the entire battlefield from end to end twice, including me checking the par...

Re: Time Spent Fighting at Major Wars

Good writeup SEAL. Here is the graphic representation. I have added a few missing numbers. You can definitely see an upward trend. The increase in overall fight time has not been as steep because there were more 3 day wars in the past, but the overall hours of fight time per day is up quite a bit. F...

Re: Single stream Nozzle vs duel/spread output efficiency

Nice write up. For me it's not just a matter of soakage, but the increased chance of scoring a hit. The increased spread makes it more difficult to dodge. That being said, issues such as mobility can also make it more difficult to aim and need to be taken into consideration as well.

Re: 2018 WWN League Season Opener

Thank you to everyone who came out. This ended up being a great meet up. I may actually end up writing a war story for this one. It was definitely worth it. I also have some still shots and video footage to share with everyone. Until then, here's a brief write up - We played one long OHS battle from...

Re: HBWW Downsizing!

Most likely the leaks are from the pull valves, cracks, and/or stuff like reservoir O-rings. I may slash the prices down since many of them don't look very repairable but I'll have to test first. I'll have to ask Scott if there's any updates on Soakemore this year lol. Bruh, you didn't hear? Soaker...

Re: HBWW Downsizing!

hi Sam, I hope your foot is healing up. I will definitely buy the Storm 750 from you and I am interested in the CPS. Where are they leaking from?


We need to get you out to a war. Tony and Danny were asking about you. Maybe Soakermore?

Hydrate a bunch durring a 6-7 hour car trip? That sounds like a good idea! What could go wrong? Sarcasm aside, thanks for the advice on things, might not be possible this war, but useful knowledge for my next local one.

Re: 2018 WWN League Season Opener

I apologize for the double post, but there is some important information I need to put out. First, I am trading Aaron for Tony. Since Aaron and Noah are both new, and both only in 8th grade I feel responsible for them. I cannot take any chance that they wander off, so teams are now going to be the f...

Re: Most important stat for gameplay

Obviously there has to be a balance, but when it comes to most important - I always go for output in Soakfests and range in the others. Field life is usually more important with OHS. I keep going back and forth on mobility, but I think that my playing style gives me a bonus when I use more mobile we...

A manufacturer like Buzz Bee Toys would be more than happy to create a high-performance rubber-bladder or even more advanced technology-based behemoth adult-sized and styled water blaster if it could sell them. It is up to retailers such as Walmart, Target, etc. to choose to carry items. I stopped ...

Re: 2018 WWN League Season Opener

I assume Noah and Aaron are your nephews' friends? How old are they and are they up for fighting all day? This ain't no wussy battle. Anyway I guess I'm okay with the teams. It'd be better if Noah and Aaron were on the same team, but of course that weakens my own team. They are 14 and are in the Ro...

We could be up against 2 2000s and a 300 with nothing heavier than a 1200. We will play ...
