I'm quite new to super soakers and I want to get two small handguns to use when I scout out enemy bases. because everyone here seems to know so much about soakers compared to me, could you please tell me if it is worth buying 2 xp 220s? or would 2 storm 500s be a better idea?
p.s. the 2 xp 220s cost £10 and the 2 storm 500s cost £9 in the shop I'm going to buy from (woolworths)

Personally I would choose the 2 Storm 500's. I think it would be the best to choose I mean the range is farther (I'm pretty sure), its lighter, smaller and you can belt-clip mod it.
I own an XP 220 and I don't like it much. The range isn't that great even after I modded the pump shaft. Also the reservoir IS SO HARD TO FILL UP, its a real pain, the whole is so small and you have to have the water on very low or else it'll take forever.
These are just my opinions and yours and other peoples views may differ.
Hope I helped

I aggree completely with Storm. Storm guns are way better for scouting, they have great range for the size and they are durable. At least in my experience. -_-

ok thanks I'll buy them tomorrow unless sum1 says otherwise.
do you think a water bomb catpult is worth having? or is it better to simply throw bombs by hand?

The XXP 175s have shot time like nobody's business (my neighbor has one) and the range is not bad. Though an XXP 275, one of the most powerful air pressure guns (up with the XP 250, and the best...XP/Classic 300), is the better of the two XXPs, the 175 is fairly small and has two barrels yet still has hella shot time (hella). I'd pay $13 if its almost new and $10 otherwise. That's in american dollars.Originally posted by Commander_Gaunt@Jun 30 2004, 01:02 PM

I agree. I have an xxp 175 and its a fairly good gun. The double barrel allows for a better area of soakage and more output. I Don't like having to screw the bottles off to fill them but its still a good gun.

I would easily choose the 2 storm 500's, they are quite nice guns, and small. But if you could find a 2-pack of Max-D 2000's, I'd take those instead. My Max-D 2000 is much better than my friend's Storm 500. and Max-D 2000 can be belt clip modded too. (I know because I've done it...) That's just my opinion, it's your choice.
