California Water Cannon = shoots over 75 -100 feet
XLR/Water Cannon = shoots over 60 feet
(These website have been posted here before, Im just refreshing memories.)
Stream Machine Water Gun = shoots 70 feet
As mentioned in earlier posts, I like Piston soakers for it's simple yet effective syringe technology. I interpret CPS Soakers as "Automatic Pistons", which explains their power. Even though most people look down on "Manual Pistons", I think they might be a future in those kind of soakers, since the power increases with the muscle strength of the user.
Example models of good pistons are listed above. All 3 water cannons would be almost perfect if they would have a large tank supply and a gun design.
Any thoughts about Pistons?

keep in mind that methods actuated in the same way as pistons power dollar store guns. also, even piston cps guns aren't REALLY the same type of piston. now what would be cool would be to see a gun with a spring on one end of a piston and a qfd on the other. im thinkin bigger zook with more power. doom, MAKE A HOMEMADE LIKE THAT! dunno what you'd use for the piston, but the spring would be easy. you could use some 2 or 3" pvc for the casing, and an epoxied-on cap at one end. the other end would somehow connect to 3/8" tubing, which would connect to a ball valve and one of freakymist's homemade nozzles.

Actually, I've expirimented with that stuff before. The spring CPS was actually my idea, from way back at the Aquatica iB!

Remember that? I love it, glad I picked one up.

Thats the Stream Machine double gun shooting. I don't think it's goind 70 feet.

No because even if the support arm is steady, the pumping arm will not be steady since it is moving back and forth.Originally posted by The dark ANNIHILATOR@Jan 19 2004, 12:46 AM
One can aim with a piston very well if you hold the suporting front arm tight. If one keeps the suport arm steady while the other arm pushes, the aim is as good as the comon Soaker.
Yeah. it's already arching.http://epswww.unm.edu/field/eps420/420i ... swater.jpg

Yeah, but that would only work for longer guns. And if the handhold is on your shoulders, how would you pump it.just thought of this - if you have longer arms, you can probably put the handhold of the piston up to your shoulder like the buttstock of a real gun, you'd be pretty accurate that way.
