I've just colossused the devastator and preformed a check valve freeze. She was working fine until a small leak began. The stores are closed however and I'm out of epoxy putty. Anyway I'll finish tomorrow and post a bunch of the pics I took.

On another note: (I want to stay away from the phrase after it wound up not being true for the 2100) However the Flash Flood seemsunmodablee. Correction - it looks perfect to mod just a monster to open. I have a feeling that we'll be needing a hack saw to get this puppy open... If anyone has and ideas I'm all ears, thanks.

On yet another note: I just added the nozzle adapter for my 21k, not that anyone cares but I've had a very good day.

The AquaPack Devastator sounds good. How large is the leak? Is it losing a lot of water? Also, does it look like some sort of PC expansion is possible? For a cylindrical pressure chamber, you'll need to replace the case it's held in with a larger one (if you didn't know).

Hmm, where do you need to cut on the Flash Flood? I might not get one if it's too complicated. Take a picture and label the caps and such and I suppose you'd get some help.

It's still leaking even after some epoxy putty :( so I'm planning to add more. (It was originally glued shut but this is no longer.

On the note of the Flash FLood I'll post pics when I get a chance... I have a ton of homework all week.

I'm new to soaking, so I'm not sure if the terms I'm using are correct.
On my Flash Flood, after unscrewing all the screws(what a pain), I brute forced it apart. After that, I found 2 problems with getting it open,the cap on the front of the pump shaft(I sawed that), and a screw on the inside of the gun holding it together, just pull on the 2 sides really hard, that gets the screw open. I've been fighting with it for a while, it hasn't had any problems.
Hope you found this helpful(or at least understood what I was saying)

I can't get pictures from my computer to here unfortunately

You post formatting is poor... I find it hard to read what you are typing. In the future, put a line in between paragraphs and a space after commas and before parenthesis (). ;)

Good that you've got the Flash Flood opened though. Which mods are you planning on trying out?

I've already drilled the nozzle to 1/8" instead of the previous 1/16", I didn't like the previous output, it's better now.

I'm working on a review for the flash flood that I plan to submit when I finish

I must say, you're a lot more willing to try new things than most new members (very impressed).

Are you going to try some form of power mod? (I not sure if colossus or k-mod is required).

Keep up the good work hunter! Oh, try to use good spelling and grammer, they are very very keen on it here.

I thought about colossusing it, but I didn't happen to have a bike innertube at the time. I might try it sometime though

Hunter emailed me pictures of the Flash Flood. I'll host the Flash Flood's internals here until I add them to the site.

Take note of the orange pressure relief valve for super easy check valve freezing! Thanks Hasbro! ;)

WOW! It's almost like Hasbro wants us to mod these things. Now I'm definitely getting one. It looks really easy to colossus. Hasbro gets two thumbs up for this year. B)

The mechanism around the top nozzle looks fairly complex, any ideas why?

The mechanism for the top nozzle is just a bigger version of the mechanism on the bottom nozzle, it just looks complicated because the thing that fires it (trigger?)is so close to the valve.

Or maybe I just took the picture at a bad angle, I will email doom a photo of the valve.

I'm going to go mod-happy this year, I'll do every mod I can for the FlashFlood, NOT the devestator, besides, the Dev is more expensive, Hey, that's funny.... Besides, the FlashFlood would look KILLER in black, blue with yellow accents.

Guys, that trigger valve on it is just a bigger version of the Max-D type valves.
