Post here your nominations for the Worst Super Soaker of All Time, along with reasons why. I've listed a few here, but others might have other ideas. After the nominations have died down, a poll will be added, and once that has died down, this will be moved to the New Members & FAQ forum.

XP BackFire - back nozzle more powerful, can be suicidal!
XP 85 Triple Shot - weak and nozzles have little use on battlefield
SC Triple Charge - difficulties with angled firing

XP-Backfire. Bad concept, bad production.
XP-85 could at least have some usefulness if all three are angled forward.

Monsoon · 11-18-2004, 02:21 PM

CPS 1-3-5: Can be both bad or good, but I look at it as a bad soaker overall, seeing as you are forced to mod it to get any good use out of it (we are, after all, referring to the stock soaker).

Soaker Leader · 11-18-2004, 04:00 PM

I think it is the Backfire also that is worst, However it is usfell to fully pump spin in circles and fire but otherwise it stinks.

superstormer · 11-18-2004, 05:53 PM

The entire EES line. Curse you, EES!

trekkie00 · 11-18-2004, 06:02 PM

2004... need I say more?

Monsoon · 11-18-2004, 06:05 PM

Small-ish XP's: Such as the XP 40, have tiny water tanks, are cheaply made, and have nozzles the size of a pin's head.

EDIT-specifically the XP 40, XP 240, XP 20, XP 65, and most of the early XP's.

Crashdummy · 11-18-2004, 07:04 PM

Yeah but the early xp's didn't have big nozzles to start with and hey, some of those are just meant as sidearms, not main weapons.

Monsoon · 11-19-2004, 02:10 PM

But they are lame weapons in combat. I know, I've used some of them, and they straight-up suck.

Well, the activity in this thread seems to have died down, so now it's time to add the poll.

I voted XP Backfire. Although EES and 2004 guns aren't great either.

NiborDude · 11-21-2004, 12:47 PM

I'd have to try out all of those guns to know, and I have not. Null vote.

Monsoon · 11-22-2004, 03:00 PM

They all equally suck, so I had a null vote

Spinner · 11-22-2004, 04:21 PM

Cloud, please check with me before editing a poll. It's getting tiresome. <_<

DX · 11-22-2004, 05:42 PM

I don't understand why the 1-3-5 has the most votes-it beats everything else on that list! Sure it sucks, but its still CPS, and still better than EES, Xp Backfire, 2004, etc.
