Today, my CPS 3000 came, which was the gun I was telling you about but didn't want to reveal yet, until now.
While the gun is quite faded, it still looks ok, so I don't think I'm going to do anything to it just yet (may re-spray some gray spraypaint on it in the future).
Once again, I won this gun from Germany on eBay.de poorly listed.
When I tested it out, my theory of German guns outperforming UK and US versions got proved even more, this gun is really powerful! The 10x nozzle goes around 45ft I reckon and has a fairly large kick to it as well. The 5x is good and solid, and ranges far too, now the 20x, WOW! It didn't go the furthest, but man, the output! Such a heavy 20x this one has, the nozzle has around the same, if not a bit more out put than the 2500. Finally, the Typhoon Blast, well, its ok, and feels good and shoots far, although a little useless. If you ask me, the 3000 is more powerful than the 3200.
The backpack was good too, although I feel as if its a little fragile, so I wouldn't really go crazy with it, although it is nice and comfortable. What I also like about the backpack is that it drains all the water out of it because of the material it is made out of, so it makes full use of the water supply without leaving any remaining.
A very good gun in my view, was worth it, and another great addition to the arsenal.
Pictures.



I'll try to get shot pictures soon.

Careful with a fully loaded backpack on the CPS3000. It just feels waaaaaaay too weak to support the weight of water it can hold. If it had stronger straps, it would have been really good. The newer backpacks are sturdier, though sadly hold much less water than the good ol' CPS3000.
Nice addition! May you get some good soakin' fun from it!
As for the CPS3000 vs 3200, I've read both sides and, well, believe both view. They are from the same mold so the differences experienced in power are undoubtedly due to variations in manufacturing.
Planning on posting a more detailed review, Wildboys? Also, as always, may I repost your pics on iSoaker.com?

Yes, post my pictures please by all means.
About a more detailed review, well, I'm afraid I don't think I'll be able to do that (well, not too soon anyway) as these next few months are crucial for me to get down to hard studying and revising for the actual exams, leaving me not very active I'm afraid.
While I have another gun coming, I'll see if I can post details on that, but I'm not promising anything.
