Welcome to SSC, Orion!

First of all, this isn't laser tag, this is Super Soakers.

Secondly, those are pretty ok soakers you got. You can check our reviews section for a good deal, and http://www.isoaker.com has a excellent reviews section. Once you have some ideas about CPS, XP, etc, the best place to find soakers now is either the Buzz Bee toys line (avaiable at Toys R Us), or the magical place on the internet, EBAY! :Hey, that's funny.: Actually, you can also find the CPS4100, the best soaker currently avaiable in stores, IMO, on Amazon, as well as the Max-D secret strike.

As for strateiges, Again, Check our stratery section for more tips.

Hope you have a good time soaking!

Thanks,
Hyper9

I think the XP 240 is one of the small guns, but I did not check. Triple Charge I have used. That gun is really bad. I disassembled it and most of it got trashed, so I don't have it anymore. All I remember was that it took a ton of pumps when not using the QFD and it didn't perform like it should have.

If I were you, I'd get some better guns pronto. Amazon.com CPS 4100's are the most readily available CPS soaker. Many Sports Authorities have very cheap ($7.49) CPS 2100, and there also is rumors of Monster Xs there at some, again, very cheap. I would check SA before going to Amazon or eBay, you can really get a good deal there. I would buy a couple 2100s and mod a few.

This site has it's own Tactics section. The (here we go again) Board Guidelines recommend looking around before asking.

thanks for the welcome guys! Oh and I found out that my triple charger is XPBackfire-esque so im returning it. I only have 10 dollars. Should I get the secret strike? Or that one gun that has a backpack. Thanks.

What is the name of the gun with the backpack? I would get that one, most backpack guns are really good.

not really sure, but is the Secret Soaker any good?

SSCBen · Post by **SSCBen** » Mon Jun 07, 2004 12:57 am

It's ok, but most any backpack gun should be better. Before you buy, find out the name of the backpack gun and post here. You don't want to get a XPBackfire-esque gun.

The Power Pak, definitely, unles you plan to be only fighting in woods away from a hose. :Hey, that's funny.: Read my review of it on the site.

WEll, thanks for replying quick!

Anyways, Im not really in a league or anything, I just skirmish with my brother who has a triple charge. I Don't really play with 'stations' and stuff.

You'll need a hose for the Power Pak; it's QFD-only. I have one, and used it today. I love using the Saturator nozzle when facing kamikaze-style warriors who run up to you. :Hey, that's funny.: You should be able to completely soak a Triple Charge user; if you can't, then...er...well... :huh:

If you're looking for a full arsenal, at least get one of each class of blaster (one heavy, one rifle, one light rifle, and a pistol). Good idea if you want to qualify for all game types.

Following up, I have the options for guns in stores now in those categories, though you may want to check eBay. I replaced some of the categories to um...better fit my needs...shut up.
Heavy Blaster: Cps 4100? Might be too light. Check eBay for guns like the Cps 2500.
Medium Blaster: Cps 4100
Light Blaster: Xp 310, Triple Aggressor (not the best...), Max-D Secret Strike
Pistol: Storm 750, Max-D 2000, Max-D 3000, Liquidator (total XPBackfire-esque)

If you know of more soakers in stores that Orion may want feel free to add them.

Ok, I just got the Secret Strike for ten bucks. I didn't try it yet, Il let you guys know how it performs. Thanks for da help!

Monsoon · Post by **Monsoon** » Tue Jun 08, 2004 12:06 am

[at]Blaze-I wouldn't classify the Secret Strike as a pistol--it's more a light rifle more than anything.
