While searching ebay I found this. If you look closely at the box, it says "Costant Water pressure". I wonder if it's some kind od Storm CPS.

It's just a standard 1-3x nozzle, but it does have a substantial sting to it. Reminds me of an XP-105/Splashzooka/Max-D 4000 hybrid.

T-Shock on eBay.

When Storm still had an active website I streamed a commercial for the T-Shock. It had the "main kid" defeating two other kids with double T-Shocks and then chasing them out of an arena of sorts. The T-Shock hasn't been available in stores for a least two years (since new CPS sokaers were stopped).

Storm's disappeared or something. I haven't seen any new storms recently. Maybe Trendmasters wasn't making enough profit, so they just stopped making them completely.

luckily i bought a crapload of storms when they were out, so i have some... but it does seem that trendmasters vanished completely.
just imagine if they sudenly came out with an awesome line of giant guns with some new technology, like better than CPS! that would be cool.

That would be great with the combination of Super Soaker's CPS technology and Storm's durability. The only disadvantage would be that Storm soakers' rigid shapes would painfully cut down on the reservior and PC capacity of such new soakers. Perhaps Buzz Bee Toys will be able to sucessfully combine the best of both lines.
