Hands-On: Defender - Max Infusion Defender

[DX]

$10 is enough for PVC, endcaps, reducers, couplers, thread seal tape, and everything else you need to make an APH except for the ball and check valves. You don't have to guess where I would spend that $10. :p

I won't be getting a Defender, but I would love to see some members of the other team buy some and "defend" with them, for that is all they could do with a weapon of such caliber. :laugh:

OMG, I laughed when I read that. Yeah, I should put my money towards pvc, but I know I will never make a homemade as good as your creations, and I am content with highly modded soakers.

Anybody could make homemades like mine, or better ones, sorry for not having a guide available yet. But you should really try, designing and putting together a homemade is actually fun, while modding a gun is mostly hard work and no fun until the end. You also get the vindicating feeling that "You built this beast yourself, from total scratch." And while regular soakers raise parents' eyeballs, homemades are another level, something that they think is amazing, not childish. My parents show off the tech room to every visitor they have... :laugh:

Lol, I would never use it though. I will make one eventually, to see just how much range one can get. But I will only do that once I feel like I don't want to continue with soakers, either because I have all of the ones I ever wanted (yeah right), or because I will want something to do while collecting air pressured guns.

Remember, an air-pressure homemade is an air-pressure gun too, so your collection can't be complete without at least one... :p

:laugh: Man, that was funny.

I certainly won't be getting a Defnder though, anyway.

I'll try to pick up a Defender as soon as I get my next paycheck next week. I like the size of it, and it looks like an interesting blaster to add to my arsenal.

I found out that my my freind is going to buy 3 Defenders. One for him, one for his little brother, and one for me. Ecept I will not be getting mine until Easter comes. So I guess I am going to get a Defender, eventually.

Possibly one of the best Super Soakers released since 2002. While it may be beat by the Flash Flood (and HydroBlitz?) in terms of power, I really admired how this gun combined elements of tried-and-true separate chamber air pressure technology with a solid design and excellent aesthetics/ergonomics. This is a gun that is completely straightforward and delivers with absolute panache and gravitas. If you can find a MI Defender out there for under 15 bucks, I would strongly encourage buying it. It needs little in the way of modification and the simple casing making deconstructing it for a paintjob a breeze. I'm still hoping to pick another one up simply for the purpose of painting it.

As a side note, it also features the MI cap that allows you to attach the backpack to it for added reservoir capacity. While I was never very fond of the MI backpacks (or backpack reservoirs in general), this may prove to be a useful addition for those of you out there who do.

I've wanted to try one for some time and it would've made a good substitute to the SC 400 back in the old days when mine broke. The P90-style grip seems to work fairly well but I haven't tried one. Powerwise, I heard that it can actually get reasonable range with a nozzle drill, but I'm fairly skeptical since it has a fairly small PC and appears to use the horrible intake tube design to get the PC's water out. I suppose this blaster is supposed to be more along the lines of the XP designs, which it ends up being far less powerful than a Max-D 6k and puts it around the power of the smaller Max-D's.
