Is this a fake triple shot? Or just a fancy colored one.

Looks like a real XP 85 from the side to me. You just can't see the sticker. I don't have any idea what's going on with the name however.

Looks like a fake to me. The real one has a solid tank and smooth sides. The tank on that one looks really cheap. Also I don't whether it's just me but the handle appears to be at a different angle. Check out the pic at iSc:

That Is not a fake my friend has one that looks EXACTLY the same. ;) I saw that auction earlyer and I am gussing the sticker came of so he/she made a name up.

That's true. The XP-85 actually did come in two colo(u)rways, one was orange and one was yellow. I have the orange one.
Whatever music you listen to probably sucks.

I wouldn't buy it though. That soaker is best left to the collectors. The CPS 1-3-5 is bad enough........ The XP-85 is an air pressure version with only three nozzles, which is worse.

I wouldn't take the risk, personally.
