CPS 1021?

[SSMarlowe89]

I’ve seen the “1021” referenced in a couple threads and I was wondering what gun this is referring to?

As I recall, that's a naming convention used by DX, and maybe a few others, to indicate that a bladder was swapped. I think 1021 probably means a CPS 1000 with a CPS 2100 bladder in it, though it could be the other way around.

I think some people also used terms like CPS 2250 for a CPS 2500 with a CPS 2000 bladder.

Interesting. Is there any power or performance benefit to these swaps?

[SSCBen]

Depends.

A CPS 2000 bladder in a CPS 2500 seems to increase power/performance. More info here.

I am skeptical that switching a CPS 2100 bladder or a CPS 1000 bladder would make much of a difference. The two blasters are about equal in power. There probably are variations in power from blaster to blaster, so maybe if one liked the ergonomics of the CPS 1000 but had an unusually powerful CPS 2100 bladder, it could make sense. But otherwise, I'm skeptical.

I was under the impression that the CPS 2000 Mk 1 had a longer (and thicker?) bladder that was allowed to extend further than the CPS 2000 Mk 2 or CPS 2500, as evidenced by the longer pressure gauge. By putting the CPS 2000 Mk 1 bladder in a 2500, wouldn't this be limiting its ability to stretch further, and thereby limiting its pressure potential? That may partially explain some of the results that Matt obtained.

Good point. Looks like I misunderstood what toothpickmatt did. Skimming his webpages again, looks like he took the CPS 2500 nozzle selector (and internals?) and put that on the CPS 2000. See the last image here. I'd read more in depth but I don't have the time right now and wanted to fire off a quick comment.
