Removed CPS 1700 Cap
>Why is it shooting farther just because cap is off?
You still have the selector on there? With the selector removed, the opening is larger. IF the selector is still there, perhaps there is some peculiar air turbulence created as the stream passes between the selector and the end-point of the cap's opening, partially disrupting the stream's coherency.
>If I keep cap off wil it damage it or hurt my gun?
The capless CPS1700 should be fine, but the exposed nozzle selector is just more prone to damage if you hit it without the cap in place. However, no damage should occur just because the cap is off. It is just slighly more fragile without it.
Neat pic, BTW, though a little blurry!

After some thinking, perhaps the decreased range is better explained by poor stream coherency when exiting the nozzle selector. I could better imagine parts of the stream hitting the cap's opening on the way out, adding in more significant turbulence in the stream (this would make more sense over my earlier air-turbulence theory).

Ok that was "Exactly" my guess lol. I just thought it would sound stupid and nobody would think that could be an explanation. I'm glad to see you also think the same as me haha.
This thread makes me want to grab one of my CPS1500s and pop it open... hmm.. first to figure out where I put it...
