I'm not quite sure where to put this, but anyway. Due to the lack of info on storm guns, I decided to take some pictures of them. Here are some pictures of the old (Trendmasters) Storm 500 as opposed to the New (Jakk's pacific) one:
Picture 1
Picture 2
Picture 3
Picture 4
Picture 5
I'll get some pictures of others, including one of the rare E series of storm guns. Until then

Yup, this is the place to post 'em. Nice, BIG pics! Fun, steel background, too! Wish I had a large surface like that to take pics of soakers on.
As an aside, may I repost your pics (though potentially slightly scaled to reduce bandwidth) in iSoaker.com's image gallery?

Go ahead and post them, I don't mind :;): . I have no problems with you resizing them, as they are a bit big, I guess I got too carried away with the macro function on my digicam

Nice pics again (though the first two seem incomplete on my screen)!
Here's a question: would you be willing to write up reviews for these (and any other) soakers you've got? If so, I'd be rather interested in pushing them up onto iSoaker.com together with the pics.

He may have taken the pictures, but I bought the soakers. :p Its about time that someone did decent info on Storms, especially my 500. That thing has been through a lot, including being submersed for several minutes during a special ops strike. Look on the battle scars on the green one! Courtesy of me! Way to go!

Oh! Well, if that's the case, would you be willing to write up some reviews?

I would be more than happy to write some reviews, XP20Warrior might beat me to it though :laugh: . It appears the first two pictures didn't upload properly. I'll upload them again later and post the correct ones :;): .

You can see that the Storm 810e is a very streamlined yet defined form. This gun has a special place in my arsenal, just for its looks. Its performs well, however, similar to an XP240 with a more coherent stream. Storm may not have firepower, but they do have one thing; a smooth constant stream of water.

They use a patented technology to keep the stream together (or so I hear). The stream is more wind resistant than that of an XP-310!
