Max-P 5000 final outcome!

I haven't really taken the time to fully test this thing out. I know I've gone on and on about how good it is, but yes, there are more downfalls to it than I realized. I took my sister's unmodded Max-D 5000 and filled both soakers with the exact same amount of water and pumped them both up about fifty times. After, I held one in one hand, one in the other hand and shot them both at the same angle out my back door. It appears that both get about the same range at the beginning, but the unmodded Max-D 5000 lasts longer in the tapering stream afterwards. However, I found that my Max-P 5000 did have a stronger stream than the Max-D, so I conclude that both have same starting range, and the unmodded's tapering stream lasts longer, while the modded Max-P has more output. I might make a small backpack for the Max-P 5000 because the small tank empties quickly. Another thing I found interesting is that after a certain amount of pumps, my Max-P 5000 gets a definite range bonus, but the stream dies out quickly.

So, to guess a conclusion, the stock soaker is a better all-rounder, but the CVFd one can get more range quicker?

The check valve (I belive this goes for any pressurized resevoir blaster) is on the pump shaft. If you look on the end that belongs inside the soaker opposite to the side with the pump grip, you will see an opening. You have to epoxy that end of the pump. I shall link a picture of this

Did you make a backpack in the end?
I'm not sure that it would work for a PR gun, so I'd be interested to hear if it did.

I produced an external PC for a 3XA out of a 1L drink bottle - it's detachable and fits using a special hose connector.
http://forums.sscentral.org/t3495/ - it's post number 5 on the page.
Perhaps that could be modified some how - if you just pump air into it you would create a bigger air volume to maintain shot strength.
You could therefore fill the reservior to full and thus have a better shot time, but with much less drop off.
I wouldn't want to be filling a 1L bottle with the pump on a Max-D 5000 though, so I'd put a bike valve on it so you could use a foot pump.

Fair enough - keep the mobility. It's completely up to you.
The idea is open to anyone who wants to improve a couple of stats on their PR gun.

They may well do - soakers that appear very similar on the exterior can be completely different inside (the opposite of humans)
But nonetheless check valve freezing will be identical for both types. It's the same for different PR weapons, let alone different marks.

Extract the pump shaft from the pump. Look on the end that fits into the pump. There will be a hole in the centre of the piece if you look at it from the end. Plug that hole in the piece with whatever seems suitable. You can plug the side hole as well, but many people don't bother - it's more likely to do harm than good.
