Think about it, the last true innovation towards Super Soaker was the Constant Pressure System, and the Super Charger capability.....there is no possible way the technology in these weapons can get any better, and the Max-D technology isn't an innovation, its just an upgraded trigger system, in my opinion, SS technology will remain the same for a LONG-G-G-G-G-G-G time :soakem:

I think ive posted about this already, but, yeah. There are no new technological advancments that could be made. Once while surfing google, I found a "water gun" that used electricity to propel one drop of water thru pieces of paper. The only problem is the range was about 10 in, and it was really expensive. Fire trucks use gravity and pumps to get the water moving. Other than that, there isnt much hope for soakers. If the fire departments made portable water hose things, that would rock :Hey, that's funny.: .

Maybe a mod or admin deleted it.
Soaker technology may imporve, it may not. There may be a system BETTER than CPS, we just don't know about it yet. But since Larami, not Hasbro was on the front line, we got CPS. I wonder if we'll get the next thing....

Yeah, you know, their probably going to be in debt soon, like every other company I can this of. Bad economy. But it would improve if better soakers were released.

I think the people who buy the most soakers are in our age range, 13-17...and these stupid spacy designs and such aren't helping sales <_<

I agree. Hasbro is just being "smart" in their opinion changing their focus from us to little kids.
How sad. You know Yugioh and Pokemon? They got kids hooked on it. Hasbro is trying to get little kids hooked on soakers probably.

Some parents won't even let thier kids have Super Soakers because they don't like the idea of kids shooting at each other.... :Hey, that's funny.:

No, like I said before, with Hasbro in control there will be no good Soakers for a long time, Larami was going good ( EXTREMELY GOOD) before they were bought out...then Hasbro ( a young-kiddie company) gave the Soakers wimpy space designs and weak output <_<

Unfortunately, Hasbro seems to have the common sense to make killer Nerf guns, but I guess that Water guns are more dangerous. Personally, I think water guns are less gun-like than nerf guns. Nerf guns shoot actual ammunition, but water guns shoot just... water.
Whatever music you listen to probably sucks.
