Favorite gun instead of best would probably be a better term to use...
Anyways, from what I've seen, an Arctic Blast would be most preferable in terms of power to size ratio. The HydroBlitz is hardly seen in stores now due to the size and people probably aren't buying it because of the price. It also probably isn't much more powerful than the Arctic Blast, if at all. It definately has a bit better capacity but it feels bulky and awkward to most people.
And the 2 other guns? They're weak gimmick guns (more gimmicky than the other two) and most people here would never use them. Sneak Attack hardly gets any range and is piston based, while Secret Strike is basically an Overload with another nozzle and larger reservoir. The Secret Strike probably has a very small pressure chamber (since the Overload did) and probably requires nearly as much pre-charging as the Arctic Shock does to be of any use.
Of course, I haven't tried any of those, but going by what I've seen and heard, those 'predictions' pretty much summarize those guns.

Compared to a stock 1000, 1200, and Power Pak, some 2007 guns aren't really that bad. The WW Orca and Tiger Shark can both outrange the 1000 and 1200 [and all Aquashock guns except the Hydroblitz].
As stated before, there are three options - mod older guns, build your own, or do nothing. The first two may give you high ranges, the third saves you money, and complaining isn't an option. Only those who have seen great power, such as ranges over 60ft and outputs over 100x, have a real case for complaining. And even then, complaining still does nothing useful.

In a big water battle, Hydroblitz would be more of a defensive gun. Unless you wear a max infushion back pack, it would run out of water after you do the first four bursts. Plus it requires alot of pumping, and the strap would probobaly hurt. It looks like a fun gun, but your better off with a cps or AB. The AB can do the flood many times an is lightweight and easy to pump.

You can't judge a book by it's cover. You don't even have a HB so don't go posting on how you feel the gun will do in a war.andrewajt62 wrote:In a big water battle, Hydroblitz would be more of a defensive gun.

1. It doesn't run out of water on the first four bursts.
2. It doesn't require a lot of pumping. I pump it 30 times and it's fine.
3. The strap doesn't hurt.
Soak On!

30 times is a lot of pumping.. I pump my CPS 1000 about 10 times to get it completely ready to soak .
@DX: Umm.. I said Hasbro guns? Plus, power-wise the SC makes those two look like a joke..

If you have elaborated enough in your post, the warning about post length will not appear. I don't see how having to write a few more words would "suck a lot" - it's not a big deal.
For example, soakermaniac, you could have said how long your water gun shoots after only three pumps. Those ten- and thirty-pump figures above were the maximum number of pumps for the water guns, so you'd have a lot more shot time.
Look, this post has nearly 500 characters
