Flash Flood review - anyone up for another of my reviews?
Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2005 9:27 am
This is my review of the STE: Flash Flood.
The Flash Flood is a light assault rifle sized blaster, with the power of a blaster of Medium assault rifle size, because of the Flash Flood nozzle, activated by sliding the silver colored thing above the nozzles backwards. The Flash Flood nozzle is a riot-blast style nozzle, with no cohesion at all. It fires a cone of water about 25", drenching anything within it. It fires for about one second.
The Flash Flood is a CPS based soaker, and the maximum range for the normal 2.5x(not 5x) nozzle is attainable within 2 pumps. Two pumps!!! The maximum range for the normal nozzle is 32", almost as far as paraded around on the box.When fully pumped,(25 pumps) the normal nozzle fires for 6 seconds at full pressure, and then cuts out, like any good little CPS soaker should.
The only things I can see bad about this blaster is that mine leaks. A lot. Then again, I know I got a defective model. There is also a crack on the bottom part of the resirvoir, right below the now user-friendly quick fill cap. (meaning that it doesn't soak you)
I would reccomend this soaker to anyone using a Helix or a shotgun modded XP as a backup, because it can do the job better than those guns can.
Overall, 9/10
