Yeah, I believe it was Excelite here a long time ago (when he actually posted here), that the 2000 should be more famous for it's range than output. Everything else still is a few feet behind, a considerable advantage.

Output is what gives it range. But yeah, also the way the stream manages to stay together for longer should be wider known, it outranges any other stock soaker as well as outpowering them. Does anyone have range stats for the CPS2000 MK1?

Possibly toothpickmatt. iSoaker's CPS 2000 is a mk.1 as well.

iSoaker only gives the stats to the nearest metre, giving a margin of 50cm either way. But his output stats are very accurate.

Yeah, that does make his range statistics a wee bit inaccurate. I hate that when you have to compare 2 guns and it's the same in meters, but you know it's different when it's more accurate. It would be quite a task however for iSoaker to redo all of his range statistics, I'd imagine he'd need a while to do it.

That doesn't make them inaccurate, it makes them imprecise. You're confusing terminology. He's the most accurate really...

Dark Elite · 09-22-2004, 12:06 PM

iSoaker is very accurate, yeah, but just imprecise with range. And I think weights are only to the nearest kilogram too.
He might be re-doing his range stats as we type, and putting them all on at once when he's done. Maybe someone should suggest it to him?

I can't see how he can get output to within a millilitre and have his range stats 50 times less accurate... Also, it would be useful if he said in his reviews which mark the soaker he tested was...
Dunno why I'm criticising someone with hundreds of soakers, but there you are.

I think he's mentioned something about doing something like that. We'll have to wait and see.

Its actually very simple.

Say we have 900ml. That is exactly .9 of a Liter. He can get statistics in other measurements, but all he has to do is add a decimal point of a 0, fairly common way scientists do measurements.
