Who would like to see more and stronger CPS guns?

The Flash Flood and some WW soakers are but i've got fed up with them.

I want beef, Like the good old days where soakage was achived in seconds, not minutes.

@ Stencil: I think you're misunderstanding things on these forums. The majority (if not all) members would love to see larger soakers return to retail. Fact is, we also have direct contacts with manufacturers and have told them directly what the soaker enthusiasts want. They (the manufacturers) would love to build bigger soakers. However, the retail market cannot support larger soakers, thus they are not presently available. No manufacturer/retailer is willing to try to sell things that have actually sold poorly in the past.

The larger CPS cannons did not sell as many units as smaller soakers. Presently, there are still soakers available capable of ~CPS1000 like performance.

These types of threads do NOTHING to change the situation and only add negativity to the board. Understand that what you're asking (and things like wanting email and people to sign petitions) have been done many times before. As a group, despite our small size, Soakerdom members in the forums have a good amount of influence on things despite making up such a small percentage of the consumer base. Sadly, the time is not right for retailers to gamble on seeing whether larger, more expensive blasters will sell well, thus manufacturers won't make what retailers won't sell.

If you really want to see large soakers, harass companies like Walmart and Toys'R'Us to carry them again. DON'T bother Hasbro or Buzz Bee Toys with such demands since they do not dictate what ends up appearing on store shelves.

@ Stencil: I think you need to spend a little more time checking out the rest of the threads and other forums like SoakerMedia and SSCentral. If you were wondering if you're the only one, you really don't know Soakerdom.

I'm closing this thread.
