I know, but what I meant to say is how did you make it so that the tank retains its normal pressure, yet still draw water from the backpack to the tank?
Sorry for the confusion.
edit: I want to be able to fill the backpack and the normal resevoir at the same time. To keep the normal pressure, can I just add a pinhole onto the backpack resevoir and make a hole in the gun's pressure cap?

I made a backpack for my 1200 about a year ago and it was very simple. The way I made mine was I had some tubing duct taped into where the cap goes on. The tubing lead to the actual backpack tank which held the water. The tank then was strapped onto my back with some cheap twine.
Now when you pump up your gun and put water into the pressure chamber gravity lets water from the backpack tank flow into the reservoir. In other words, as you put water in to the pressure tank, the backpack refills your reservoir.
You don't even need a cap to shoot some Super Soakers. Any CPS gun doesn't need a cap. It may leak water all over the place, but it works without a cap.
Yes you would need to put a pinhole but only if your backpack is a actual tank. If the "tank" was something that gets smaller as it runs out of water such as a trash bag (etc) then you would not need a pinhole.

I have an old XP310 but it's got a shattered reservoir, d'you think I could backpack-mod it?
(P.S. it also has my XP310 FanSpray mod, so it needs more water than the single shot I can get now because of the wrecked tank)

I'll try the soda-pop replacement reservoir, but you don't need a backpack if you do that...
Oh yeah, I'm halfway through XPSing my 310, but I ran outta balloons... I'll let you know how my fan-spray with XPS and a 2l reservoir on an XP310 works out...
