Blaster Grip Techniques - ^
Ok, there's nothing complicated about holding a typical water blaster, but sometimes changing one's grip slightly offers better control/performance/accuracy in special situations. As well, different people may have different preferences on how to adjust their straps, position their hands, etc. when using different blasters
I know there have been times when using blasters such as the CPS2000 or CPS2500 that I've held the blaster higher than usual, butting the reservoir against my shoulder so I could look along the body of the blaster for better aim. On soakers like the Aquapack Devastator, I find myself moving my pumping hand from the pump to the base of the blaster between pumping.
Do you guys find yourselves doing something perhaps a little different when using your blasters for specific purposes?

I use the thumbs-forward grip for pistols. Basically, you hold the gun in your strong hand, cup the butt/handle with your off hand, and stack your thumbs along the barrel, on thumb above off thumb. Gabe Suarez said in Concealed Carry Magazine that using a grip that points your thumbs in your intended shooting direction increases your accuracy.
For rifles, I try to keep the but of the gun between my collarbone and shoulder, my off hand just behind the pump (keeping your hand on the pump usually doesn't help stabilize your soaker since pumps are rarely tracked anymore).

EDIT:I find it best to loop the strap over your arm (like a woman's purse) rather than over your arm and neck. While arm/neck keeps the gun more secure, you can't raise it as high to fire, meaning your accuracy is going to suffer. Also, it helps accuracy to hook your elbow inside the strap while aiming and put tension on the strap to keep your aim steady.

I fire all my guns one-handed except for my piston guns. I don't really need to hold a gun differently than normal, because I just have had good aim with guns all my life.
Edit: When I am trying to get a very precise shots from my Vaporizer, I hold it up close to the rifht side of my face.

When I use my 1500 I have the strap over my opposite shoulder so it doesn't slip off. Then the gun only goes down to around where my hip is. This is very comfortable because I only need to use one hand to fire the gun. The other hand is free until I need to pump.
