javascript:emoticon(':blazer:')Does anyone have a suggestion on a back up gun or side gun to go along with an aquapack devastator? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

i personally use the aquapak as my backup and my 2700 as main. but if you want a good sidearm, try the storm 500 or max-d 2k.
Stealth over speed. Accuracy over firepower. Coordination over chaos.

Only the arrogant claim they do not make mistakes in combat, hence they never learn.

I have a 2100 and it is great but I am just beat by the lightness of my friends soaker tag elite guns so the only way I am able to keep up is by using my APD as my main I use my Xp20 as a back up a lot but it broke so now I am trying to use my Storm 760 as my back up but it is to hard to use. I am thinking of getting another main gun does any one have suggestions that could compete in manuvuerability with the Artic Shock, FF, and Triple Shot. Any help would be appreciated!

SC600 (my prefered, does this count as a sidearm?), XP110, and the Triple Shot this year looks like it would make a good one. I always carry a little Storm 500 not as a sidearm, but last resort.

I'd not recommend an Arctic Shock for much unless you really feel a need to hit someone with ice-chilled water. The Arctic Shock's general performance, IMO, is sub-par compared to the rest of the STE line. A Water Warriors Argon works really well and would be recommendable as a side-arm as well as the STE Triple Shot.

My heavily modded 2100s and 4100 are my backups, and I know that doesn't help. :laugh:

A Max-D 5000 or 6000 would be a good, very light main gun, or an XP 270 or 310 would be good. They also work well as sidearms, but will hold their own as main guns.

STE guns are really not that much lighter than the 2100, the 2100 is stronger and holds a good amount of water. If you mod the 2100, you could blow them all away, but most people are unwilling/hesitant to open their gun. Manueverability has less to do with the gun itself and much more with the user. Example, I consider the CPS 2500 a fairly light and mobile gun. All it takes is lots of experience using a certain gun. With experience over time, you could beome more mobile than your friends, even using a larger gun.

Thanks for the help could some one post some mods for a CPS 2100 that would be easy to install in the mods forum. I will be thankful for all mods posted

Off-topic curiosity: Soakerboy0109, why do you seem to get 'javascript:' code in your posts? It's a little strange and the first time I'm seeing the board behave that way. Are you using javascript-restricted browser settings or it is caused by something else?

For sidearm recommendations, Storm pistols are w/o a doubt the best guns for the job. See if you can find a 750 or two. Failing that, 680s are quite nice too.

I posted this in the other sidearm thread.
i use double XP 220's and i might switch to a CPS 1k if i can repair it. i hold the 220's in my coat pockets. also they're durable. my mom ran one of my 220's over with her car and it still works perfectly. sometimes i use storm 500's but they only hold like a tablespoon of water...

I used my friends hornet when I was at his house, and it was pretty good. but i'm going to get an APD and clip it onto my belt as my sidearm (then I have a sidearm with TONS of water)
