XP 90

[teamfear]

My friend gave me his xp 90 (pulse fire) and I fixed its reservoir but then it burst in my face. I'm okay but now I gotta make a screw in resivor. I think I will buy the parts in a bit. Should be relatively cheep. I'll post pics when its done.

Sounds good. You could probably do some neat mods, keeping the pulse fire nozzle and body while using a PVC pressure tank.

[teamfear]

The only thing I'm worried about is the other internals strength. I gotta salvage the O ring off the broken tank also.
UPDATE
I got all the parts except for a 2" end cap. The tank will be a little over a liter and made of abs. I also need more epoxy.

[teamfear]

This thing rocks. There is a large capacity and now the gun has an awesome feel to it. I just need to re-glue an o ring. I get my camera back soon!

[HBWW]

What part did you use to thread the homemade reservoir on? Just a regular male adapter? Which size?

If the old O-ring has trouble fitting in and sealing, you can wrap the thread in teflon tape instead. Also, you could turn this into a regular reservoir with a cap, instead of having to unthread the whole reservoir to refill.

I am just sealing it up. I have 3 new orings. I expoyed on some abs threader to get it to fit. Im still waiting for my camera.

Sounds good!

Actually, back in the day, a number of XP90s were recalled due to tanks bursting on people. Glad you weren't hurt!

As for your repair/replacement, sounds great! Share pics if/when you can!

[teamfear]

The internals leak too. The tank sealed fine but now its gonna be mighty hard to open the blaster again considering where I expoyed the pipe threader. I will take a picture of the gun when I get my camera back so you can see the other repair but in my mind the gun was just too old and too weak. It isn't that powerful but the new tank made it as long as the 1500. It looked cool but I am busy with other water warfare related projects so I guess this one will have to wait.

my new cps 2000 is superior to that old beat up squirt gun

[steelboot.]

@ metaturtle: Please don't troll.

[metaturtle]

it is true and you know it.

i give out 500ml/s and that gun gives out 20

[steelboot.]

A skilled user with a mediocre gun can give a new user with a CPS 2000 a headache. Please think before you post.

[metaturtle]

while that may be true, i can point the thing at you, squeeze the trigger and soak you in one hit before you can say "AHHHHHHHHHH"

please think before you post

[steelboot.]

And I can dodge. From now on, if you want to talk to me, use the private message feature.

[metaturtle]

just because i have a 2000 doesnt mean i can't dodge too

nothing prevents that. dang it you guys are getting annoying

[teamfear]

Alright I don't wanna start another Teh Moron issue. Metaturtle it is clear you are interested in super soakers. Thats great. If you want to trash talk us please keep it team related. It bothers me that you would insult someones work. Its no big deal. I'm fine with trash talk, steel_boot has done his far share of it to me.

[metaturtle]

heh ok i will keep it limited to teams

[teamfear]

Alright that resolves that. Why don't you make a post in the team registry to tell us more about your team?

[metaturtle]

heh were not as organized as your team. we're just 2 groups of friends in the same circle that like playing with water guns.

not a lot to say.
