HELLOOOO0000oooo....

Post by Datum000 » Mon Aug 31, 2009 4:41 am

Well, one might say I'm a bit younger than most here, but my enthusiasm for supersoakers were brought upon by older brothers who had the luck to buy GOOD supersoakers and leave 'em here for me whilst they be in college etc.
More importantly, I've signed on for a bit of help in the construction of an APH, as the only 2 guns of old that are left are a CPS 1000 and an XP-310.
The CPS has served me well in most situations, murdering any modern water gun, but my brother primarily uses the XP-310, which is falling behind when brought up against the CPS-class weaponry that the older people always bring to the water wars.
Anyways, as previously stated, I'm developing plans for my APH, using sections from an old Potato gun barrel as the PC's and PVC for everything else.

Oh right-
Hi.

Cool. My CPS 1000 has served me very well so I know what you mean. Have a good time here!

Welcome to the forums, Datum! As steelboot said, the CPS 1000 is a fine water gun, but I'm interested in seeing where you go with your homemade, too. :cool:

I'm attempting to match output and shot capacity at least to the CPS-1000, with the math down, I just have to get the parts.

I've never built an APH, but from what I've heard matching the CPS 1000 shouldn't be hard. Main thing to bear in mind is an air pressure gun will suffer drop-off in power towards the end of the shot.
I work on Windows. My toolbox is Linux.
Arsenal:
Super Soaker: XP215, 2xXP220, Liquidator, Aquashock Secret Strike M(odded), Arctic Blast M, CPS1200, CPS2100, SC Power Pak, 3l aquapack, 1.5l aquapack
Water Warriors: Jet, Sting Ray M, Shark, Argon M, Tiger Shark, PulseMaster
Others: Waterbolt, The Blaster, Storm 500, Shield Blaster 2000, generic PR gun, generic backpack piston pumper (broken), 3l garden sprayer M, 10l water carrier:

Yep, I got the parts and have assembled and glued the thing together, except for the pump and a reservior.
I'll post the thing in a new thread.
