I haven't use a Splashzooka or XXP 275 from what I remember, so I can't help much with the comparison.

iSoaker.com has a page to compare water guns if you want to look directly at two of them. If you want more information on each water gun, open two windows and look directly at them. If you want a really close analysis, make a spreadsheet with all the information you can find about them and read all the reviews online about them. We link to most reviews online in our reviews pages, so check out the water guns you're interested in and visit the links.

Saying that you've already purchased the water guns (and received one from what you've said), you'll know how well they work soon enough. ;)

I would go with the XP because the splash zooka is kind of lame, You only get a coupld of shot out of it and its way of firing is stupid!

I like the XXP 275; it's tended to get overshadowed by the Monster XL, but it's a very good two-barrelled blaster with good power and choice of nozzles. It's probably quite a fair match with the 1200.

The only places you can buy older soakers are eBay and yard sales at this point. You could also put up a request in our Buy/Sell forum, but I see that you've already done that. Yard sales are hit or miss--for the most part you won't find any real good soakers even if you do find any. eBay is a great place to get older guns if you want to spend a lot of money. Either way those are the only viable options left.

well it came today and it is awsome. there are a few problems though, 1-the cap has a big crack on it, 2- the pressure gauge doesnt work 4- the verticle fans are more like a spreading beam 5- one 3x nozzle shoots a little crooked, fusing with the other one at the very end.@sneakycookie I did get it on ebay. @spinner i personally think the xxp275 could pwn the mxl in a battle any day.

I wouldn't be surprised, considering the MXL's poor range and much inferior manoeuvrability. Just be careful of that top-mounted trigger system. ;)

I've got two 275s so I suppose I should try one against a MXL sometime.
