I was finding it hard to keep a constant stream going with the Triple Aggressor as I am constantly being careful not to brake the pump handle (which feels very fragile)

I therefore attempted to find a way to focus all my attention on pumping. I decided to remedy this I would make a wooden lever. Needless to say a lever activated water gun was going to be one of the hardest mods I'd ever performed, so I got my fellow team mate over and began work.

Several hours later we have made a front mounted working wooden lever, that when over to the right, shot no water out, you then flick the switch/lever over to the other side and whatevers in the tank comes out. Once the lever is over one side it stays there (no need to push.)

This means you would leave the lever to the right (no water) pump it to full power (as you do) then smoothly move the lever and out comes the payload, and since it stays there you can just pump to maintain a lovely smooth beam of the substance we live by.

The power is also controlable as you can move the lever sort of into the middle and it will fire a less powerful but none the less soaking beam of water.

Interesting modification! Do you notice any improvements in range or output? I only have a minute to write this post -- I'll try to get another reply in later today.

Elliott · 02-16-2005, 06:24 AM

Ah yes I forgot to post about that. I don't know how but from the tests I did before and after, My lever seemed to have added an extra 2 1/4 metres of added water range. I was shocked to see the blast that usually fell just short of the fence at the end of my garden go straight over. I don't get how this occurred however since all we did was remove the spring and play around with the trigger.

Ben · 02-16-2005, 04:43 PM

You may be opening the nozzle more than it previously was cabable of, therefore allowing for a higher output. The higher output could increase the range.

Could you take a picture of your modified Triple Aggressor shooting? I'd like to see this in action.

I also forgot to say in my other posts, welcome to SSCentral!

It might also be because you are opening the valve faster. The valve on my Hydroblade opens pretty slow. I will try that on my Hydroblade because the thing that pulls the trigger valve broke after one day of use. <_<

I had that same problem with my hydroblade <_< I did a lever trigger thing and shotgun modded the nozzle

Elliott · 02-17-2005, 05:21 AM

When my Digital Camera has some batteries I'll take some stuff on both my 3XAggressor and my AquaPak Dev. Oh and thanks for the welcome Doom.

Godzillasoaker65 · 02-19-2005, 02:18 PM

I finished the mod on my Hydroblade! Doom can you put this on the site, so it doesn't get forgoten?

Ben · 02-26-2005, 10:00 AM

Hmm... I missed this topic's last few replies apparently.

I can not add this to our site. We do not have permission from Welliottdude. You can't just put anything on your website, you must have rights to use it. With Welliottdude's permission, yes, we could put this on SSCentral.

Yes sure you can, but 'Welliottdude' (IE. My old account) had its posting rights removed thanks to Miss Falcon. Thanks again!

Sorry, could you explain that further please? :huh:

[at]Spinner :
Old account banned, so he made a new one?

[at]all :
I felt the 3A's pump as pretty sturdy myself, for a non-tracked pump. Then again, that's in comparison to my XP310 and MD6000 (which are... the same really). So it may not be that sturdy. The Pressurizer's is better, but anyway, I had no problems pumping and firing with my Triple Aggressor. Maybe yours has a loose pump, Welliottdude64.
I think the extra range comes from, as Doom said, the valve opening further than before and letting out more water. Doesn't the 3A use a Max-D trigger mechanism? Possibly the mod is just pulling it further.

Elliott · 03-30-2005, 02:10 AM

See 'Saving Water' under 'General Chat' for details of that.

I bought an SC Power Pak from toysrus yesterday. Yes, thats right they actually had a SC Power Pak from 3 or 4 years ago. My bet was they found it in their store cupboard, but anyway it was really really battered and there was only one, but I decided it was worth holding off the purchase of my flash flood for it. It was 30 Pound but due to the awful condition of the box, they knocked it down 5 pound (cheers toysrus!.)

I got it home, couple of cracks in non-essential places but one on the charging nozzle (

) I got my friend over and duct taped it up, then tested it and was very impressed. Good purchase?

Wild Boys · 03-30-2005, 05:04 AM

At the Toys'R'Us I went to (which I went to about a week ago) they had loads of Power Pak's for the same price. I counted and there was about ten. The boxes weren't in too bad condition. My dad says he is going to get me a Power Pak next time we go. But again I think that Toys'R'Us stores around the UK vary. The one I went to was in Sheffield.

I suppose it is a good purchase. Althought it was damaged. But getting £5 off it kind of made up for that.

Dark Elite · 03-31-2005, 10:04 AM

I have heard about a lot of good soakers coming into Toys 'r' Us recently. Unfortunately, there isn't one within thirty miles of me, so I guess I'll be missing out on the rumoured CPS4100s they have. Also, I have heard about a two-pack of XP310s in new, better colours, a sort of urban camo.
