O I doubt that its going to be THAT good, its basically just a step up from the standard design, by combining the positive aspects of several APHs that I've seen, while doing everything I can to keep it compact and low-priced. If I was so inclined to (and I might be someday), I could design one to ...

The other problems I can understand and have taken into account on mine, but what do you mean when you talk about terrible nozzles?

Well the ball-valve trigger shouldn't be a problem for me, I've had experience with them before. I like the idea of making the parts of a homemade able to break-down partially because as you use it, you may find that you want to make some small changes. A little more water here, a little less weigh...

Thats why I'm building mine this way.
I built my recent WBL with that in mind and I am VERY thankful that I did, I had to make several revisions of the trigger and the secondary PC, so having had that experience, I think its definitely worth it.

In what way was your APH impractical in battle?

Ok then, I've put the changes for 2 PCs on my design and recalculated its costs. It looks somewhat like this homemade, with the standard APH configuration, but mine's more compact, has fewer parts, bigger pressure-chambers, a lower price tag ($52.20 instead of $62.00) and a 1/2" pump rather than th...

So basically, two 3"W x 3"H PCs is better in that they have more range and balance, but worse flow and more expensive to build. While a single 3"W x 6"H PC will have better flow and is cheaper to build, while making the gun less balanced and possibly having slightly less range. I'm leaning towards ...

Well, recently I dug up some old designs I had for an APH and started making revisions. Then I began wondering about the pressure-chamber/s. So my question is, what are the advantages/disadvantages of having two pressure chambers instead of one? (Eg: One 10" chamber vs two 5" chambers) I'd searched...

I don't own a CPS 4100, but from what I've heard from other people, the stats in isoaker for it and experience with my own CPS 1700, I'm inclined to say that the 1500/1700 is a better gun in a more compact package. (If only it had a track pump)

This idea has been thought of several times, I've yet to see a working model though.
I work in comuter 3D-Animations and my brother is learning how to program, so maybe someday we'd try that out.

INCOMING SOAKER!
I checked Entertainment-Earth and their site said that the HydroBlitz would be ariving THIS MONTH.
I would however, not suggest buying from them, since their selling it at a higher price of $50 rather than $40.

A HA, theres the switch to chose between nozels.
Look at the picture at the bottom! It seems that the top nozzel fires pulse shots, but with massive amounts of water per burst, depending on the design and range, that could be quite interesting.

When ever somebody says, "O, squirt guns" it really ticks me off.
Lets see you call THIS a squirt gun after I blow you away with a modded CPS 2000.

I usualy call them Soakers or Aqua-Weapondry.

Cooool. (Literally and figuratively)
Too bad there was no mention of us hard-core warriors, just video clips of soak-fests.
Too bad he had to retire from soaker desighning, maybe thats why they took such a bad down-turn a few years ago.

You can get bulk orders of bio-degradable balloons from here:

I bought a bunch from here a year ago and I'm still working through them.

Ha ha, sounds like you guys are pushing hard for early recruiting. With all the tactical development we've seen last year, this season should be a particularly interesting one.

I doubt it, with only 9m range and a company that has had no past experience with building soakers.

Hmm, I would opt for "E" on the backup soaker issue. That way, all the players on a team are contributing to its strength, rather than the individual who brought the soakers. But I would prefer some kind of system where by the person who brought the soakers can decide which ones are allowed to be b...

What about balloons? They tend to spray water in all directions, so a fist size splotch would be difficult to achieve without a direct hit.

I guess I'll just dive in and bring up possibly the most difficult of the combat rules. Deciding on the scoring of kills. From what I can see, there are 3 options. 1: Any amount of water that is more than mist equals a kill. 2: An amount of water on clothing. 3: Some sort of wearable object that ge...
