The XP150 is also actually larger in sheer size than the majority of the newer soakers. If used properly, the new soakers can still do well, IMO. I'd happily face an XP150 user using any of the 2006 line so far (well, with the exception of the Arctic Shock :goofy:). However, I'd have second thoughts against a CPS1000+ user. :goofy:

The XXP275, SS300/XP300 and the Pool Pumper Blaster are all air-pressure soakers that could easily out-soak an XP150. Heck, I also prefer the XP310 over the XP150 due to more variability in nozzles.

On my XP150, output measured 52 mL/sec.
The Flash Flood's normal nozzle still got 45 mL/sec, but got better range.

XP150 (rereleased) vs Flash Flood

:cool:
Wow, the flash flood doesn't have bad range. I think it might be a useful lighter weapon, not that I'll get it. Which would you prefer, a Blazer/Haydra Pak, or a Flash Flood?

By the way, the XXP275, SS300/XP300 are soakers that could kill the 2004-2006 line. But the Flash Flood does lood like it has some advantages over the XP150.
