Soaker with two triggers

Post by GJIV » Wed Apr 06, 2011 2:02 pm

hi there :D

I have just checked Ebay and found these Soakers:
http://cgi.ebay.de/WASSERPISTOLE-PUMPGU ... 35b1316ad7

They are not Super Soaker brands or water warriors. I do not know whether they are pressurized reservoir weapons or the red chamber is a seperate pc...

But they got two triggers, which are, to my mind, well installed :) THis way you do not have trouble with changing/unsing different fingers :goofy:

I like the styling, but I expect performance to be merely average. Most likely PR. Also, it's entirely possible one trigger controls both nozzles, and the other is a complete dummy.

It appears to be a legitimate separate air chamber blaster. Common sense tells me that one trigger controls one nozzle and the other controls the other nozzle. Interesting that the PC is detatchable, though the reservoir cap's top is never shown clearly to identify for sure that it uses separate chamber pressurization.

It looks real, but it's possibly just PR, and it is likely that one trigger controls both nozzles. Maybe it says how it works, but I don't speak German.

Haha, my advantage, that I speak German and Englisch too, and also some others... :goofy:

Problem is that they do not say much about how the gun do work...

Just standard of range, colour and weight...

Aaa, now I think I know how it works^^

The gun is not seperate air-pressure but seperate PR...the air-pump gives pressure to the main tank and the small, red minitank, which is a PR for its own too.
The gun is more or less two PR guns put together, just using one pump to pressurize both.

But I am not sure about this, since seller does not give clearer information and I do not want to buy and test one of these guns...

THey are shit, I am quite sure :D

Sounds a bit like the XXP 175.

Just the way it looks gives me the impression of cheap plastic. Especially on the pump rod, it doesn't have that gleam that most high quality plastics do. Having to triggers on a water gun could be useful in some circumstances, like if you had a double barreled blaster, you could use both or save water by only firing one. Also the flashflood (if you ignore the flimsy trigger) wouldn't be nearly as good if you had to turn a knob then pull the main trigger (like the Hydroblitz) instead of just using the top handle for the flood blast.

+ shaped pumped rods are a sign of a low-quality blaster. Also angled triggers are a sign of a pinch valve being used, which is usually (*cough*Point Break*cough*) only on low-quality blasters.

If they're a few quid, then it's OK, but €12.90 is too much even with the dual nozzles.

Haha, I know they are VERY bad, may even the worst guns on the world :D :goofy:

I do not want to buy any of them, but the two triggers are installed good :)
