New Water Warriors

Post by Finnster » Wed Jun 24, 2009 2:38 am

Well, I seem to be on a roll of remakes and new blasters. I've just found some new BBWWs that are coming out in the near future.

These aren't really that new. iSoaker.com already has reviews. I own a PulseMaster (and it ain't bad).

They've done some minor rebranding. I'm not sure grouping elastic and pressure blasters together is a good idea, but it doesn't bear on the performance of the guns.

I'm pleased to see the Hydra Pak is still considered current, but wish I could actually find one in shops.

Judging from the talk at iSoaker.com, the Vindicator seems to be pushing the boundaries on performance. Obviously its style leaves much to be desired, but if its pressure chamber is really held within the reservoir, then that's a neat innovation that can obviously save space.

The iSoaker review notes as if the PC in the reservoir is a bad thing. It's more like having extra reservoir space and not having to top off the reservoir after pressurizing for full capacity. I may have to PM that to him since he missed the post I made about it.

I heard from iSoaker.net that the Vindicator is not as powerful as the Pulse Master, which apparently rivals the 1000. (but with only a 100mL PC) However, since the Vindicator uses a spherical PC, that means it's probably k-moddable. I'd really like to see how well a k-mod can make the blaster.
