Homemade CPS bladder

Post by djohnson293 » Thu Aug 07, 2008 3:40 pm

I read the CPS PC expansion mod and was wondering if it's possible to replace the very short bladder on the Arctic Blast with a longer, homemade bladder. I was hoping to make the bladder just like the one in the Super CPS guide and then mod the nozzle to 1/4". The goal of this mod is a much more powerful bladder with a much longer shot time, rather than performing a Colossus mod which is said to reduce shot time.

I guess it would be possible if you found a way to connect the new bladder to the gun. A similar-in-diameter bladder would certainly work.

If you're going to go through all that trouble though, don't you think it would be easier to build a homemade? You'd get much better performance than with the homemade, albeit it would cost more.

It's actually been done already, detailed in Ben's thread. (By the way, Ben, you might want to upload it to the site under the individual gun mods.)

Silence: Not sure which modification you're referring to. I put the PC expansion modification on the website, though not under individual gun mods. Perhaps I should add a link there.

djohnson: You're looking for a PC replacement modification. It's listed under repairs because it's usually a repair. With this being said, the Arctic Blast is a limited system to be building on and if you're going to go to the trouble of ordering LRT, you might as well build a homemade water gun. Though, no homemade water gun is the size of the Arctic Blast, so this could be useful especially in combination with the multi-nozzle modification

I must have misread the first post. djohnson, I suppose you've already let the bladder expand farther but it's being limited by its own length now, right?

Ben, I was wondering whether you had uploaded the entire Arctic Blast modification article. It would then be listed under individual mods in the Modifications section page.
