Yes it would be a great gun when modded, no it is not worth $22. A (1-3-5-)K might reach the 50ft. Standard, which would make it good for sniping. With 75 balloons it should at least come pretty close, if not more than 50ft. But $22, no way. I've seen one sell on Ebay for 75 cents. IMO the 1-3-5 is not worth more than $5. If you don't want to get ripped off by inflated water gun prices, really take their normal value and cut it in half. Heck, I've bought a CPS 3200 for less than $22. $22 used to buy 3 CPS 2100's. I would pass on the 1-3-5 and look for a cheaper one.

[at]Dux. Stop bragging over how low of a price you got your soakers for.

[at]Godzillasoaker65. I don't think the price you are waiting on is the best. The 1,3,5 is not the best soaker and should not have too much money wasted on it. I suggest waiting for the next one. It'll probably be cheaper. That is if this 1,3,5 is on ebay.

I would just bid on it ;) . Who would want a CPS 1-3-5 :huh: . I bet if you bid nobody will want it anyway. It is such a bad gun.

Many people, including myself, would disagree with you. While a gun may be bad for a certain situation, there is always a use. What do I see in 1-3-5 in case you ask? Backup, Scout Blaster ^_^

The 1-3-5 uses the same size and power PC as the CPS 1500 and 1700. Arguably the best allaround soakers ever produced.
Unfortunately, the entire thing is messed up by the multipble nozzles and trigger mechanics. So instead of the high output long range shots. You get about 1/3 of the pwoer with long shottime. If you plug up all but the first nozzle, you might be able to bypass this, but I Don't know.

The auction should say who the winner is, and I'd imagine you'd get a confirmation email of some sort. I've never directly used eBay however, so take it for what it's worth.

Yeah, eBay will tell you by email what the outcome of the auction was. It should also tell you if you've been outbid by someone else. You can also check the status of anything you're bidding on/have been bidding on in 'my eBay'.

Depends on how large of a K-mod you do. I'd reinforce the internals just to be safe. B)
