Well, think about it. It has five nozzles, all at 1.0x output. The fact that it is a CPS doesn't change output, and the fact that it has five nozzles reduces its range. Really, it's about the same as all the other guns on the list. It probably has the most votes because it's a disgrace of CPS soakers.

EDIT-No SC Triple Charge votes? :blink: That gun is terrible, worse than the EES guns!

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.

Agreed, that would be the one I would choose to use. However, looking at the logs, this poll has been tampered with somewhat...I may have to reset it. <_<

Slightly off-topic - poll numbers can be adjusted on this board by moderators/admin? That's not good.

As for blasters that just don't work well, IMO, I'd still choose the XP Backfire as the worst. EES line is limited in power, the XP Triple Strike and Triple Play have tank clamp issues, and the CPS1-3-5 is not as potent as similarly sized brethren, but overall they still do what they were meant to. The XP Backfire... well... that's another story. I suppose it succeeds in backfiring... :P

As an aside, don't knock the smaller SS and XP soakers. Sure they're not great in battle, but for their size, they perform quite well.

Tru dat, my SS 60 is a lot better than you'd expect from a gun that was made in 1993.

Spinner · 11-24-2004, 11:58 AM

You also have to remember the competition they went up against, especially in the case of the original SSs. Though I can't find an excuse for the Backfire... :huh:

Soakologist · 11-30-2004, 04:25 PM

I did/can not "fudge" poll numbers. All I did was change the choices. Triple, for instance had two "p"s in it. I also put "Blaster" after 1-3-5 and added dashes between the letters "XP" and the guns' names.

Because of the poll intergrity being questionable, I'm deleting this poll and then putting it back up. In other words, I'm resetting it.

Ben · 11-30-2004, 06:15 PM

^ The Admin logs don't lie. I saw that 3 of the 4 times you edited it the numbers stayed the same, but the first time the number did change. Anyway, let's not argue about this. Back on the topic of the worst Super Soaker.

Forceuser · 12-01-2004, 01:53 AM

Presumably, if you delete one of the poll choices then it will change the numbers. Maybe that explains it?

Not at all. The total number of votes increased. Let's get back to the worst water guns.

I voted XP Triple Shot for what it's worth. Worst gun I've used - the multiple reservoir idea was good, just extremely weak.

Spinner · 12-01-2004, 06:22 AM

I voted XP Backfire again. I really don't think the CPS 1-3-5 deserves as many votes against it as it got last time, it is CPS at least!

Soakologist · 12-03-2004, 11:03 PM

It bast[at]rdizes the glorious name of the Constant Pressure System.

Doom, please allow Bast[at]rdization to be used...

Commander_Gaunt · 12-20-2004, 04:21 PM

The triple play is so bad, they are really hard to put in and (literally) shoot 5 feet!

Way worse than the backfire.

Jadefalcon09 · 12-20-2004, 06:51 PM

Null Vote. Some blasters may out-perfom others, but it will always depend on the situation or circumstances you are in. In my opinion, the worst blaster is a broken one.

hotshotwithcps4100 · 01-25-2005, 06:22 PM

The Backfire is not all that bad,it's just a matter of getting used to the positioning of the back trigger if you have trouble then try putting your left hand where you would put your right one and vice versa.one of my favorite tricks is pulling both triggers and spinning in a circle I nicknamed it "Circle of Fire".it's not that great but it's not that bad either.

Who put the XP 90 up there? My brother bought one a few years back, and its range, output, and weight balance were quite decent.
