XPS

Post by used man » Fri May 30, 2008 12:01 am

so today i decided i would test my modding skills by trying to mod a ss100 that is badly torn up. so first i cut off the top of the pc and stuck a balloon around the stub i pumped while i held it on. when i fired it went about 3 feet. so i tried to add more balloons but i just couldn't get the new balloons over the original and there are no xps guides on the website.

The XPS guides were removed because the XPS modification isn't beneficial. What you did wasn't XPS anyway. XPS did not involve putting a hole in the pressure chamber, just putting balloons in the chamber.

You probably just ruined that pressure chamber so I would suggest epoxying on another small bottle. ;)

I thought that the balloon PC, which used just a couple balloons to separate water and air, was the one that required an intact PC. XPS actually uses balloons as the pressure chamber, so drilling a hole might be a good idea if you want constant (if low) pressure. That said, I wouldn't recommend it because the water gun still doesn't have much capacity for high performance.

XPS is pretty much a useless modification. The only real benefit it gives you is that it lets you shoot the gun at any angle. Other than that it's likely a royal waste of time. You can't make your air pressure gun into a monster with a few balloons--it's not the K-mod.
