The blazer is now available at Amazon. It's sold as "splash gear".

Wow, I've never even seen one before. Might just get one. I don't have any Water Warrior guns, so why not, you know? Maybe I can learn a little more about their tech in the PC. Isn't it like a sheet of rubber stretched out or something like that?

Whoa! Cool! I have to get one! I just hope it isn't the old version, but the 2006 version. The Pirahna they sell is the 2004 Pirahna, I'm afraid.

Great find! Too bad there's no pic. :(

I prefer the Piranha, But a lot of people don't have K-mart's to go to, So, I posted it.

I've never opened my blazer's PC, But I'm pretty sure that it's just a piece of rubber streched over a plastiv disk.

Yeah, Hydro Power is just a rubber disk that is clamped in between two pieces of plastic. And Hannibal, the Piranha that they sell on there is the 2005 version, the one with increased nozzle sizes and a strap.

I drew up some diagrams of hydro-power. Note: they are not to scale but the way it is held together is correct, I have opened my lightning's PC before.

Hey! That's a pretty nice, simple diagragm of the diaphragm system (a.k.a. Hydro Power). Actually, considering things, the term 'Hydro Power' appears to now also include truer CPS-like bladders (as seen in the Hydro Pak) as well as a spring-based system (as seen in the Splat Blaster).

:cool:

Wow, I might order that today! I told my dad about the $6 Piranha and he said it would be fine to order one, but I might be able to convince him to let me get this since they don't have the Piranha anymore :;):

I hope it has a fan nozzle.

Oh, so they still have it. It's not listed under buzz bee toys. I hope they will have the '06 Piranha soon.

From what I've read on the back of the boxes, there is no 2006 Pirahna. Just the Lightning, which is, of course, a Pirahna recolor.

Sorry, for not posting in a long while. Cadets is currently taking over my mind right now (pride?).

A '06 Blazer? I got a white and blue Blazer last year (but I'm not too sure what year it is). I hope it doesn't change alot, because I would want to get it. :p
It seems that Water Warriors is improving on a good design every year.

Did Buzz Bee say anything about a 2006 Blazer?

Of course, previous models are still available in different color combinations for 06.

That's about all he said about that.
