Re: Homemade pump action designs?
From my tests, I've found that vinyl tubes seems to add massive amounts of friction/turbulence. In fact, removing the vinyl tubing and having just the brass piece as the nozzle practically doubles the distance, even when the vinyl tube is primed by being pretty much full of water. Originally I wante...

Re: Homemade pump action designs?
Nevermind... if I take out the vinyl tube it shoots 40-45 ft... roughly the same range as a CPS 1000. Maybe the vinyl tubes slow down the water greatly. Guess I'm gonna figure out a good way to add 2 check valves

Re: Homemade pump action designs?
I just made a test, before I bothered getting any check valves. This is a 1-1/4" outer pipe. The nozzle is threaded so I can easily swap out different size openings. So far, I've tried a 3/16" and a 1/4" nozzle. https://i.imgur.com/Ker1Hb3.jpg Sadly though, it only shoots 20 ft. max. (Both the nozzl...

Homemade pump action designs?
Does anyone know if there have been homemade pump actions? There are some pump actions from Nerf/Water Warriors that shoot 40-50 ft. (Water Warriors Drench Force, Nerf Zombie Strike Ripstorm etc.) So I'm wondering if it is feasible to create something that outperforms these stock blasters at a compe...

Re: CPS 2000 vs 2500 questions
I'm almost certain that the pumping issue with my 2000 is that the check valve between the pump and reservoir is just sluggish for whatever reason. I'm not sure if that can be adjusted or fixed, so I'll leave it at that since I want both my 2000 and 2500 to be in working condition. I've done some me...

Re: CPS 2000 vs 2500 questions
OP's brother here. When the 2000's pump is extended (moved towards the nozzle) very fast, it makes a swishing sound, which seems to come from the valves near the reservoir. You have to wait a little bit before retracting the pump otherwise it seems like water doesn't get into the pressure chamber an...
