Well none is really better. It depends on the user. A really skillful CPS 2100 could defeat a CPS 1200, although it doesn't mean the actual weapon is better.

Here are some catagories and their winners:

Range: CPS 2100
Shot time: CPS 1200
Weight (when full): CPS 2100
Output: CPS 2100
Capacity: CPS 1200

Also, the 1200 has a strap, but it could do without. But still, a strap is great in some places, and others it is not really needed.

The 2100 is cheaper currently, so that got my vote. If they were the same price it would really depend on what the user wanted. The 2100 lacks a strap, and the 1200 lacks a guide pumps. Other than that they are the same for the most part.

If I were modding then then I'd get the 2100. I could add a strap but not a guided pump so easy. :goofy:

I chose the 1200 because from what I've seen of it, it has a longer firing time than the 2100.

They're really the same gun. You got a solid weapon either way.

In my book, the CPS 1200 classes as a light-medium assault rifle, and the CPS 2100 a medium assault rifle. You will get more power out of a CPS 2100, but more shot time out of a CPS 1200. Niether can reaslly be best, but one can definatly be an advantage over another in certain situations. For example, Id choose a CPS 2100 for sniping, since i can get a good shot off, and Id choose a CPS 1200 as a scout's weapon if I was far from a filling source. Again it depends on the situation, and the preference of the user. :)

Iceman's right. Both can be better than each other in certain situations. In a bush/forest war I'd go with the 1200 because it holds more water, which will be useful since there aren't really any taps in the bush.

For a suburban water war (say, around a school) I'd choose the CPS 2100 because it has more range and power. You'll need both because there isn't too much good cover. You won't need capacity as much because there are a few taps on the sides of buildings.

I chose the 2100 because I've used it and I like the output, weight, and design.

I suppose that if I had to choose, I'd pick a 1200 (2001 model) because it's not colo(u)red like a frickin' hot dog stand. I can't stand the 2000 version of the 1200 though..

I prefer the 2100. The tracked pump is a definate plus, it is durable and slides easily. I like the output and range, but most of all the 2100 is a modder's gun.
There are 3 marks and each model acts differently when k-modded. Therefore, when you k-mod a 2100, you never get the same results twice. Some become super-efficient, my first got more than 10 shots per tank. Others gain higher output, or stunning range. 2100's are also very light, so a strap isn't necessary.

A CPS 2100 is more durable, and it has more range, power, and output than a 1200, so I'd rather use a 2100. Don't get me wrong though, a CPS 1200 is a great soaker. The 2100 is just my preference.
Well none is really better. It depends on the user. A really skillful CPS 2100 could defeat a CPS 1200, although it doesn't mean the actual weapon is better.

It isn't even a skill issue. It's merely an issue of preference. They're basically the same with small differences here and there.

What makes you guys so confident that the 2100 is more durable than its predecessor, the 1200? ???

It feels more robust, it has thicker plastic, and a tracked pump. :)

The pump, when moved to fast, will go through the 1500-syndrome, where it snaps back while you're pumping. I don't know about thicker plastic, and I actually don't like tracked pumps, though yeah, they are less prone to breakage.

Like I said, it's all a matter of preference.

I voted for the CPS 1200. The advantages that it has over the 2100 (in my opinion) are:
1. Longer shot time
2. Shoulder Strap
3. Larger PC
4. Larger reservoir
5. Easier to pump

The advantages that the 2100 has over the 1200 include:
1. Greater output
2. It's slightly lighter
3. It's better balanced (the 1200 is more back heavy)
4. More durable pump

They're both pretty good soakers, but I tend to lean towards the 1200, mainly because of the shoulder strap. It just makes handling multiple tasks at once so much easier.

I would actually choose a CPS 1000 over both of them, since I think it's the best all-round small CPS. But since it wasn't included in the choices, I chose the 1200.

I think the 2100 is an all-around better water gun, and making a strap is denifitally easier than making a track-guied pump.

I like the design of the 1200 better because I actually prefer the non-track mounted pump, even if it's not as durable.
