Performance Overview.
Now this is a Super Soaker! It gives an excellent buck when fired,
so never stand on one leg and shoot it on 20x. 20x Dishes its comparitvely
small 20oz payload in 1 second. Even though it does hurt in the Shot times,
5x can still punt a CPS 1000 past the goal posts. As for the water deliverance,
Incredible. Just remember that conservation is the key.
Structural Overview.
Big. Not just Big, but long too. Be careful walking around with this
thing. It seems to have a tendency to hit walls and doorways and knock
over lamps when carrying this thing. The pump, where it is positioned under
the handle, is much safer, but a little more akward to use. When the water
gets low, it needs to be tilted down forward, but with the strap and the
barrel mounted pump handle, you'll want to tilt it back. Also, the Nozzle
settings are difficult to tell without firing, and with the low shot time,
every drop counts. That can be solved with labels, or markers and duct
tape. The Trigger also has a tendency on some models to be bent in
one direction or another. Some people find this difficult to use it this
way. (Mine is curved, but in the right direction for me.)
Basic Overview.
A little different of experience when coming from using a CPS 1500,
its lower shot times bring more pumping in on a more difficult pumping
system. Its length is hard to get used to, but easyer to aim as the end
of the barrel is reletivley round, and small. It is also fairly narrow.
A pressure guage is a neat novelty, not really of any use if you can mentally
tell how much is left (As I have been using Guageless gun my whole carrer.)
It's weight, length and body design around the handle, can cause bruises
on the carrying hand if used without the strap. So use the strap at all
times. 20x on this sucker may be very short in duration, but can absolutely
SOAK anything in it's path, as its stream billows out after leaving the
nozzle, creating a thick, sadistic 1.5 inch compressed stream of air and
water that feels like being hit by a bucket of water over the head. The
Penetration value is off the Scale.
All in all, CPS's are just totally fun weapons, if not just totally insane, but the fun ends in a face blast. These guns, even the 1000, carry a high force blast that can lead to serious injurys. So don't shoot these things in the eyes or face. Hit their shirts, it scores you more points.
