I've decided to know for myself what ranges our guns really get. No more estimations, eyeballing, or markers. Ranges on good level cement with no wind and down to the tenth of an inch. There's a stretch of sidewalk nearby with exactly 4 ft long blocks, all of them. It beats stretching out the entire tape measure in my driveway, which isn't even level.

To test the accuracy of my new shooting range, I brought out the CPS 2000 mark II :cps2000: . iSoaker gives the mark I 49.21', so that was the ballpark to expect. I came up with a 3 shot average of 49.02', which is pretty close. I am sorry for doubting you, iSoaker. :laugh:

hehe.. well, even if you got different numbers, I'd attribute to soaker variation. :goofy:

I'd prefer it if more people reported range measurements. While I trust my ability to measure the range my soakers can fire, the soakers I'm testing may or may not be the true average for a particular model.

:cool:

I don't have the time to test all 60 of my soakers, however I'd be glad to take the average of a few shots, with my MK2 2000, because that seems to be the soaker that is most contested in terms of range. If there are any other specific soakers for which it would be very helpful to have additional range data, please let me know. I'd be glad to help.

BTW, I tested one other gun today before the sun went down. It was Cobralex297's freshly modded 21K-3-5. iSoaker gives it 29.53' stock, so I was hoping for 40' with the light K integration. 38.12' was the 3 shot average result. That's still amazing considering that there's only 16 balloons on the 21K pc and that the main nozzle is essentially a 1x!

Edited because I meant 38.12'. 38' 12" is 39'. Doy. :goofy:

I'd be happy to test ranges for, er... the um... HydroBlitz with the mesh removed.
Soak On!
