General water gun discussion.

Is the pump on the CPS 1000 flimsy or easily breakable?

The pump is sturdy! I jumped on it and it didn't even dent!

Poll: CPS 1000

This is a poll. (wow, did you figure that out all by yourself?) Is the pump on CPS 1000 flimsy? easily breakable? does it "come out" if you pull it too far? i so far asked 4 people seperately and i got equal "flimsy" and "fine" answers. So just answer this poll. really.

I got mine down from the shelf and pumped it a few times ;) . I certainly didn't feel like it was gonna break off in my hands.

huh. well read the review on CPS 1000 on this very site and see why I don't know what to believe.

The review is very old. Get as many opinions from 1000 owners as you can. My pump feels fine, and it can't come out if you pull it too far, that's what the pump cap is for.

One has to have a defective CPS 1000 or has to be defective himself to break a CPS 1000's pump. That thing is steel compared to many modern soakers' pumps, and yet most of the modern soakers' pumps are still very hard to break if you're using them normally.

You have to remember that ultimately how you treat the gun decides how easy it is to break. Obviously some pump handles are easier to break than others but I've never broken a pump handle in my life and that all comes from the fact that I treat my guns reasonably well.

all I know is that when I was a kid, I threw m Cps 1000 around. (I was a kid, I didn't respect things back then) But it took all of the punishment and kept performing perfectly. For that reason, I never really got into any of the soakers that came out after the 1000

agreed. The new super soakers that are in stores now bring tears to my eyes. I recently purchased a Cps 1200 off of ebay so I'm hoping it turns out good. Here's hoping it doesn't turn out to perform like .99 cent water gun :D
