Welcome to the Super Soaker Central forums!
The Arctic Blast is okay in its own right.
Search the forums for similar threads, or read the reviews at iSoaker.com - they're very thorough.
I'd say go with any water gun from Water Warriors - highest ranges, lowest prices (overall). On the Super Soaker side, go with a Flash Flood (2006 lineup) or an Arctic Blast.

Be sure to do nozzle modifications on the AB. The FF is very similar (supposedly) but has durability issues, and one can often break in less than a year so be prepared to do repairs if you get one.
The WW also works, but the guns are a bit weaker than the FF and AB. However, they are still much better than the air pressure guns.
As most will say, the HydroBlitz is oversized for what it can do and not worth the price. From the pics, videos, and in-store HB's I've seen, I can definately agree with that.
If you want better guns, have a look at the CPS line on eBay. Virtually all of the CPS line work better than any of the guns you can find in stores nowadays.

Yep, I was saying that the Arctic Blast was already pretty good, and if he buys something, it won't be tremendously better.
The HydroBlitz is okay if you're willing to spend $40 on a gun that only has average range and is clumsy. If you just want the novelty or intimidation factor, go for it. Otherwise, it's a waste of money.

Yep, please provide a reason in the future. People have provided explanations for why the HydroBlitz is a bad choice - too expensive, not much power, too big and clumsy, etc. Stating that the HydroBlitz is superior, with absolutely no qualifications, is frustrating for everybody, especially the person trying to make a decision. The HydroBlitz has a merit or two (intimidation and capacity, maybe), but you haven't pointed them out.
And coincidentally, exactly as totokan said, the word minimum is there to make sure people post an explanation. "No It's Not" is certainly not going to let masteruchiha12 make a decision. Why should he take your word for it that the HydroBlitz is good? Please describe in more detail in the future. Thanks.

I like buying one or two (or three ) new blasters each year. So far the only good blaster I've seen is the Arctic Blast, and by the sounds of it, it seems like the best one in a size to power ratio. I love my FF, so if the AB is better, then I'm grabbing one. As far as the Hydroblitz goes, I love how big it is, and even the awkward way to hold it (like a minigun). Since my waterfights are always small, I don't care if its underpowered....as long as its better than the Max Infusion Overload (which brought a tear to my eye it was so dissapointing).

keep the artic blast
you should keep the ab, most ppl think its the best gun for 07, the hydrblitz requires much pumpin and has lack of power jus keep the ab

yea AB is definitely the best '07 gun but you would be better off with an old CPS. The Hydroblitz is, as I believe someone else said before me, way too expensive for its abilities. Don't fall for the fancy name and look. Also, always trust these wise words: A good water gun user maximises his gun's strengths and discards its weaknesses. that doesn't mean go out and buy cr@p, but don't obsess over the gun. be sure and read reviews of a gun by its past users before buying it, though, gun A might have twice as much capacity as gun B and more nozzle options, but only from a review can you know that gun A has terrible pressure and you might as well be using a water bottle with a hole in the lid to shoot with. did that make any sense at all?
