I am pulling out the dust covers on my soakers today and will perform inventory on the entire arsenal. I will pick up the Water Warriors Blazer from K-Mart I saw awhile back, and will update you on the arsenal's status. I have a feeling this year will be good for soakage.

Its a bit too early for me to do mine, New-England is deep into winter. (Literally, 4 feet of snow)
But in April I'll be doing a system check on my armory in preparation for the Maple-Mountain-Marine's first meeting of the new year, which we should be holding as soon as its warm enough.

I'm planning to do a video tapping of our team's practice skirmishes, so I'll submit that sometime in May probably.

WOOHOO!! Let the uncovering begin and keep us up-to-date with your findings! :cool:

Sadly, I'm a good distance away from the bulk of my armoury *gasp*! Hopefully, though, will be able to test out new 2007 stock soaker models in the coming months as they begin to appear on local store shelves.

:cool:

isoaker- If any 2k7 soakers come out in Canada, be sure to let us know- I really want to get a few guns
Way off topic, but how do you get a member rating?
Meanwhile- I have no want/need to test my guns for range and other things until the snow... Well, you know, melts. I might post something about ranges in these forums and on my website (COMING SOON, as mentioned by mr. dude). I may have to wait until July or so to get some new soakers (Hydroblitz, Arctic Blast, maybe a new WW gun {If there are any}) Did anyone ever notice how your height affects the range of your gun?
This will come soon on these forums, and the others

You go to another person's profile and give them a rating. The average of all ratings is displayed. Just gave you a five. ;)

Height isn't too important. The stream is falling at maybe 45 degrees by the end of the trajectory--so an extra foot of height is only and extra foot of range. Not much. And at chest height, it's essentially the same deal.

Videos are great, I have a bunch uploaded just recently actually. I saw some new guns recently but my money is tied up elsewhere at the moment. I'm bringing my soakers here to school next time I go home.

Cool.
I saw this movie that Duxbrian made and it inspired me to start doing some of my own.
So keep an eye out in the spring and summer, I'll (hopefully) be releasing regular videos of our training as it progresses.

Will get the updated list later, but bagged a WW Blazer & Yellow Jacket for $15 total on Thursday. I have 34 soakers total, 6 needing trigger repairs & 1 a pump handle to be reattached. 5 is easily repaired, so there is a total of 28 total operational soakers on-line.

Very nice video.

I got just a Pirahna off eBay at $0.99 with $11.22 shipping, though thinking again maybe I should've skipped it and saved it for some other guns. (looks like the poor guy was struggling to get it out, it was the second time the Pirahna was getting listed) Anyone used one before? It seems to be a slightly less powerful and lesser capacity version of the blazer. Since it has many nozzles, I might do a drill on one of them though. The gun hasn't been payed for yet, but should arrive in a bit after being payed for. The rest of my armory is pretty much from 2006, in my sig. (plus I have an XP 90 Pulse Fire with a broken pump, and a friend's Max-D Secret Strike that's leaky)

$15?? :p My blazer cost $25.00, and that was without the yellow jacket!

38 operational soakers, eh? Are you planning on posting a list of your entire armory? If not, please do, I'd love to see it.
