I'm a very greedy guy, at least according to Wild Boys. That's why I desire literally no new water guns. I have all I need, and that's most of what I would like. Admittedly, I'd love to get an old Super Soaker 300 or two and if you have any I could take for free I would, but I figure my money could...

Here's what you have to do then: 1) Repair all leaks. 2) Replace the trigger valve, preferably with something simple such as a ball valve. 3) Put a new nozzle with an appropriately sized orifice on the other end of the trigger valve. Or altenatively, you could put the water gun into storage for par...

Actually, competition does not necessarily mean better products. That thought is true for many things, but I do not believe it will hold true in water guns. People buy the Super Soaker brand name because it is very well established and has earned it's reputation from it's commitment to quality in t...

Hasbro isn't "hiding" anything. They simply aren't very inclined to believe someone claiming to have three of the same broken blaster and asking for replacements. That isn't what you can expect from Hasbro, it's what you can expect from most every company. I also don't think that the CPS 4100 is st...

The problem could be your diagnosis: CPS 4100s do not use Max-D triggers. Please explain the problem in greater detail and you should at least get a potential repair. The problem could be as simple as a misplaced part. Pictures help a lot in repairs too. If repair isn't a route you would like to ta...

Good that I finally said what I meant correctly! Now there should be more people who understand this when I write the article. I also agree that higher velocity means higher output on a fixed nozzle orifice size. Never considered that's what you meant, but I see now. I should list a few "laws" like...

Rule of thumb: never discard any broken water gun unless it is completely worthless! That rule especially applies to CPS water guns. The parts in the water gun alone make it good for canibalization if another one of your water guns breaks (or if you are looking for a modification or homemade water ...

No, that's not what I meant. In what you are saying, the position function tells where the stream head is located. The velocity function (the first derivative of the position function) tells how fast and in what direction the stream is going. The acceleration function (the second derivative of the ...

A quadratic equation may do ok to approximate a measured curve, but may a higher order equation may fit better, but that's a moot point currently. Yep, and I mentioned that. Some situations will work best with a simple quadratic equation, while in other situations other types and orders of equation...

No, the curve does not represent the decelleration of the water stream over time. That would be the second derivative of the position function. This is completely different. As I said earlier, these types of graphs will be useful in several things, namely: seeing really where the output of air pres...

(posted at all forums because I believe this is important and should get fair notice) Recently my thoughts have been dedicated to making a system to accurately predict a water gun's stream distance and design efficiency (efficiency being a calculated value). While I had made some considerable progr...

Yeah, those nozzles look much better in design. You say that is the design BB will be adopting in the 2007 guns? That is the design I emailed them about. Likely, they will modify the design as they see fit, but that is the basic design I emailed them about. They might remove or add a few features a...

You say you want to use it on your homemades, so I assume to get it you will need to modify a endcap. No. Endcaps actually make theoretically poor nozzles. I would have to modify something designed to be a nozzle, such as the fire hose or straight stream nozzles I have ordered from McMaster-Carr. T...

2007 improved range year That has not been confirmed and it's premature to assume that this year's soakers have crappy ranges, but by some strange miracle of forsight, the 2007 blasters will have good ranges. My bet is the ranges are going to stay exactly the same for Hasbro and Buzz Bee. As iSoake...

Sidenote: on the boxes of the new soakers, there are little rating scales for Distance and Capacity. The rated distances of the 2006 line is 35', but on their little graphs, it is only ~70% of the length of the max tick on the graph. Might this mean that they have farther shooting soakers coming in...

The first problem probably is caused by some sort of clog in the valves. The clog could be anywhere in the valves. I would suggest opening up your Super Soaker CPS 1500 to see if any clogs are obvious and removable. If the clog is inside of the valves, repair would be harder and I suppose it would ...

Good deal on that SC 500. You could attempt to repair the valve, though I am unsure how that could be done. A check valve freeze should definetly repair your water gun. You could also remove the defective valve and replace it with a valve that operates similarly if you would like to retain that fea...

Newb, I really don't like how you are so incapable of finding information yourself. You can email iSoaker from this message board and finding his email address is easy on the website. I'll make it even easier for you though by posting it. :) http://www.isoaker.com/SoakerNetwork/NorthAmerica/Images/...
