The CPS 2500 was released in 1998 to replace the CPS 2000, and they look very similar. Same design, same color pump and grip, surprisingly similar ranges when shot next to each other. The 2500 has a red color theme and 3 nozzles, rated 5x, 10x, and 20x. While good for dumping out loads of water, the 20x nozzle is not all it's cracked up to be. Since the 10x lasts longer and shoots further, it is advisable to use that for high soakage. 20x only makes it out 30 ft or so, but my 10x nozzle has just barely reached 50ft and my 5x has come close to that. The 2500 is well built and durable. It is a very reliable weapon that rarely breaks and has a strong tracked pump. This soaker is powerful enough to go head-to-head with any large CPS or modded gun. It even has enough range and soakage to hold its own against a homemade water gun, although each shot doesn't last long. You can waste the water very quickly, so I would reccommend tap shooting to prolong the time between refills. You can go for more than an hour without the need to refill, even in heavy combat, if you only take short tap shots. The grip can sometimes give blisters, but it takes at least an hour for this to happen. As for weight, the average user may have some difficulty, but an experienced user can really run and move with this thing. It is much easier to be mobile with a large soaker than most people think.
Pros:
3 nozzles
Very durable
Great power and long range
Strap
Pressure Gauge that doesn't break over time
Cons:
Lots of pumping
Fairly short shot times
Heavy until you get used to it
Mods for the CPS 2500:
Colossus
Check Valve Freeze
Pump Reinforcement
Positions for the CPS 2500:
Almost any position, even scouts and skirmishers if you are experienced enough

Proper maintinence is very important on any type of stock gun.
