X2O Water Blasters

[isoaker]

I've seen these X2O-brand blasters, but have opted not to get any of the items just yet. Anyone here actually seen one in action?

If I find one at a thrift store for $4.99 or less, I will pick it up just to investigate, but they don't look worth the sticker price.

Hah - I wouldn't expect any sane member here to drop full retail price on one of these. I was more curious whether anyone has seen anyone else using these out in the wild or, perhaps, had a cousin/friend who picked one up and they got to try it out.

Hmm, I thought the Sizzlin' Cool brand was a TRU thing with BBT only, but these blasters do NOT look like anything close to what BBT would make.

Some of the designs are suspiciously piston pumpers. I see an air intake on the Liquiforce cap, and none of the blasters appear to have sufficient space for a useful pressure chamber.

Unless someone reports otherwise, or if I see them in stores and find them to have any potential, I'll simply pass these off as common junk.

I got one of these last year. Definitely not very good (I was hoping it might be good for modding) but it is PR and has decent range and output. The Python and Charger are way better, but it is still far ahead of anything Nerf has made. It uses an interesting trigger valve, a lot like storm guns.

@darthmeow: which one did you try out?

The aqualizer, the $20 one in your link

I've never seen these in stores, but has anyone seen the Drenchinator up close before? The folding handle looks pretty useless, but it would be nice to know the output compared to the Aqualizer.
