Has anyone tested the Arctic Blast?
I am a fan of small cps based blasters and I been wondering about the Arctic Blast since I hardly see anyone posting about it. I know we all get caught up with the biggest, best, and most powerful in every generation but lets take a closer look at what else is on the table.
The main concern is how does it compare to the Flash Flood. Some of the things I'm interested in are: size, build quality, stream size, power, reservior capacity, range, and even looks. Also, I could care less about the ice cubes, because as we all know you can put ice cubes in any gun. This post is mainly for all those who have actually tested the gun. Too much speculation without ownership is pointless.
The only piece of technical information I have gathered so far is that the total capacity for the blaster is 40 oz, where the Flash Flood has a total capacity of 50 oz. This would seem to hint that the blaster is only slightly smaller then the Flash Flood.

Yep, I've got one, but I haven't had a chance to formally test it. Overall, It's about the same as a FF, but bulkier and a bit farther reaching, and I think its got a flimsier pump rod.
I'll post again when I've had a chance to test it and can give you specifics.

Heavy artillery + high ground = an easy battle.
Why else would they call me Leviathan?
"Artillery batteries, prepare to fire. XLs, dual aquastorm. Balloons, quick burst, short range. Battery commanders, FIRE AT WILL!"

From what I saw at the stores (as in, no testing has ever been done), the AB's stream is smaller, and as said, the riot blast has higher coverage (and perhaps less range). The riot blast's screen is actually curved slightly in a convex manner, and the size the nozzle is slightly larger than the FF's. From what can be seen, the FF's riot blast is definately a lot better and of course, trading unecessary coverage for less range is no good. Maybe the AB's reservoir holds more water, and it's cap is definately larger. As also said, the AB doesn't include an ice core, and both the AB's and FF's caps allow ice cubes to go in.

Yeah. I have it and it preforms very similar to the FF. It's a little less powerful and has less capacity. The FF is much better IMO. I think it has less range and less output. I have previusly owned 3 FFs, and I find them much better.
