Cutting off the edges? Hmm... I need to check that. I think I know the problems, but will take a little bit to change and test the code. Thanks for the info!

No problem. I Noticed that on a lot of other pages as well, in fact just about all the reviews that I printed have the edges cut off ??? .

I think (but need to verify) that it's due to the width of the Flash movie being wider than a printed page, thus making the text run off to the right when it shouldn't. I need to put in a scaling comment for the Flash movie when the printable version is activated but not for the original web format... just need to be sure not to mess up the coding.

Update: in theory, it should now be fixed. Check out the review pages (you may need to refresh your browser's cache to get the new version).

I just purchased my CPS Aqua Pack Devastator. I had a tough time choosing between the Devastator and the Flash Flood, as on the box it says that the Devastator only shoots 30 feet while the Flash Flood shoots 35. I remember that you guys said that the Flash Flood does shoot 35, and that the Arctic Shock also shoots the same range that it says on the box. However, I refused to go by what the box said this time, and I am extremely glad.
While the Aquapack Devastator isn't the most devastating gun, like the name suggests it is, it has gotta be one of the most efficient guns out there. The backpack is incredibly comfortable, the nozzle size is decent, the range is decent, the pump is very sturdy, the shot time is decent, it has a steel belt clip. There is nothing I can complain about with this gun. It's worth $30, but not in the same way the CPS 3200 is. The CPS 3200 is far more devastating than the Aquapack Devastator, but the Devastator is a really good all around gun. I would reccomend it as a primary weapon, but I'm using it as a side arm to my CPS 1500 right now. In fact, I dare say this is the best side arm Supersoaker has ever made. Output is 3oz/sec as far as my testing goes, which is the same as what Isoaker found. The range looked incredible, and I was guessing 45 feet at first, but when I measured it it was only 35. Just to make sure I tested it along side my CPS 1200, and the 1200 outranged it by a few feet, so I believe 35 feet is acurate. It holds 98 oz of water, the firing chamber holds 15, and it has a 5 second shot time.
Oh yeah I got it at Toys R Us for $30. Toys R Us is also selling recolored XP 270s, 2 for $15, so I'm mad that I bought an Arctic Shock since I think 2 XP 270s would be better.

It only launched 25 feet? Mine launched 38!
But a good review.

My Aquapack shoots around 35 feet like it is supposed to.I also had a fight with about 20 inexperienced soakers at my school playground with it .Only about 3 were armed,they had alot of water ballons and it was every body versus every body.I had wiped them out,every body was fighting me because I was soaking them all.If I kept on moving I did not get ambushed from all sides.When they got near me with ballons I shot them quickly and moved on.When they got near me with their lightly defensive guns they got wet,when they kept on chargeing they got soaked.The only thing I had to watch out for was them sneak attacking me from behind and big ambushes on me.This did happen once but I was at a high point and most of their ballons did not hit me.Two reached me one lightly drenching me the other not properly filled,bounced of me.I ended up having to go home before it ended(I am glad I did,they were threating to take my gun)! :bringiton:

Hmmm, sounds interesting. (your longest post yet, congrats, I hope that isn't a backhanded compliment) What other guns do you own?

BTW, Doesn't the APD have a Max-D trigger?

Yes :;):

Personally, I like the FF better than the APD. It has about the same range, and the pump doesn't lag! :p

I thought that the Flash Flood was supposed to be slightly weaker than the Aqua Pack Devastator,or at least thats what hasbro wanted to happen.

Post by **m15399** » Sun Feb 05, 2006 2:06 pm

Weaker in what since? In power or in durability? I've heard it said many times that the FF has trigger problems, but the APD does not. That is FALSE. The APD has the same trigger mechanism that the FF has.

How good or badly built the trigger is dosen't matter if you mod, build homemades, or go on ebay.

I like the flash floods riot blast. But, I also like the Aqua pack Devastators water capacity. I guess that is why I will have both by this summer.

I'm back, for now anyway, nuff said.

Anyway, I took a chance and got a Devastator off eBay for £40 total. To most of you it'll seem like a rip off. But there is no other easy or cheaper way to get one it seems now in the UK.

It is by no means a weak gun at all. I really like the comfy backpack. Despite only one nozzle, it packs a pretty powerful punch for its size. Mine gives off what looks like a 3-5x beam, nothing really surprising, but good in my books. Range is also good, about 11-12m for mine.

While this really is not really new news, its just one thing I did recently.

Feels wierd posting again. Later.

Yay! You're back! I have been reading these forums for over a year, and only joined up recently, so I hope you understand how I know you left. One thing I don't understand is why you didn't just get, say, a 2500 or a MX or a 15/1700 or something. The APD has the same water capacity!

Post by **Wild Boys** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 4:20 am

Well, that fact of the matter is, that I already own all of the soakers you said!

You see, I own two 1500's, two 1700's, two 2500's, a MX and a lot more soakers. The Aquapack Devastator is a good addition to my collection I feel. I actualy like it better than my Water Warriors Lightning and Argon, although I would really like a Blazer.

Anyway, I'm going off topic.

Still, I understand how you know I left, and I'm glad your happy to see me back.

Phew. And I thought I had a lot of cannons. Of course, it's different if it is adding to your collection.

But there is no advantage to having (correct me if I'm wrong here) a APD over a 1700, for performance purposes. The 1700 has a 3x bigger PC, longer range, TWO nozzle selections, and no crummy Max-D trigger.

I personally see no reason to get one other than for collector purposes, or if it's the only gun available to you.

Oh and yeah, I really want a Blazer a a Hydra Pak. Can't seem to find one anywhere! :wacko:

An APD can actually serve well with a CPS 1700, since the APD has a belt clip, you can use it as a sidearm or backup along with a CPS 1700 as your main weapon. Quite a good from combo some people think. I'll try it out one day.

Besides, Max D triggers don't bother me as long as they don't break (and I hope it doesn't break to soon either!), of all the Max D guns I have owned, I have had no breakages yet, though.

I guess if the trigger does break down, they supposedly quite easy to repair.

I admit that the gun lags too, but its not really that bad, its about the same as the lag I get on my CPS 1500, and the APD doesn't take long to get fully pumped anyway.

My 1700's and 1500's range is not that much longer than my APD's range, I'm amazed at how far my APD shoots, and its only about 0.5-1m less than my 1500's and 1700's from testing.

I think that the Max Infusion Overload will be better then the Aqua Pack Devastator. By the way, my friend spent a total of about 50$ just for a Aqua Pack Devaststor last watergun season! I wonder what had came over him? I know that he could have gotten it cheaper.

You're kidding right? The only advantage of the Overload versus the APD is the nozzle selections. Everything else in in the APD's favor. Not that it matters, they're both bad guns compared to SUPERIOR guns like the 1700. :;):
