Helix: Good Idea, Badly Executed

RacerSoaker445 · Post by **RacerSoaker445** » Sat Aug 07, 2004 11:53 pm

Well, I was thinking about the Helix today, I thought about how the spinning stream was so stupid... Yet useful... Then I thought, "What if, the Helix's spinning nozzles could be put on a CPS gun?" Then I thought if those two spinning nozzles could go more than 30 feet. I have experianced soakage from a Helix at 5 feet away, it soaked my back (Of course, I got him back with complete soakage from a few 20X blasts from my CPS 3200).

So, if someone can do total soakage from 5 feet from a Helix, what could you do from 30-40 feet?

(I'm NOT ranting about how good the 2004 sucky guns are, I'm just saying what if the idea could be executed better.)

Most of the pressure would be wasted on spinning the nozzles around. The Helix can have the rotating nozzles because it is a piston.

It could have a motor, but water and electricity don't mix.

Yes, but what if you could lock those nozzles....

Well, you could do something like give it the much needed seperate pressurizing chamber, and make that cps-tech.

Then, if you could somehow make it that it has a pump from another gun to pressurize the chamber, and still have the piston to turn the nozzles, that would be pretty cool.

But getting the CPS chamber to fire when you push in a piston would be pretty tricky.

Cool idea, though. B)
