Larger XPs would be really good. I really like those larger XPs, they give long shot time, low pumps and low weight, and usually great range. If another company made larger XP's like that, I would buy a ton of them. Maybe those Lanyard X-Stream people could do that, their Nerf clones are great, but I've never tried any of their water guns. Their water guns look like XPBackfire-esque.
Shadow, I've tried things like that and I think it would work. I had an idea very similar to that one a while back, it was exaclty the same except that it was 2 types of CPS pressure in one, because that way would have been the easiest to make.

X-Stream is the worst way to go. Not only are they rip-offs of Super Soaker, they don't even use a trigger mechanism! Most of them you just pump it and the water squirts out!

I think it is going to be the new Super Soaker logo for 2004. It is probably made along to go with the 2004 Super Soaker boxes and the 2004 www.supersoaker.com.

shadowstalker · 11-29-2003, 08:20 PM

maybe theyll have better soakers in thoes box's

Those logos might be examples of what the artists can do....

I aggree. Those logos are too good to be examples, but technically they are examples, since they're on the logos page, as an example.

About the X-Streams...Some of them may shoot far, but the stream is so thin that it doesn't really make a difference. -_-

Ben · 11-30-2003, 01:00 PM

I thought that since X-Stream's Nerf guns are great, their water guns would be similar, but they seem to be XPBackfire-esquepy PowerSoaker's.

I like those preston soakers with a tank supply. Back at 1987 there where no Super Sokers where I lived and Preston Soakers with a tank supply where pretty nice and as good as it gets. The nozzle was even 1.5X. Now I don't know, if todays Preston water guns are still good, but they should be. A comparison between an X-Stream and a Splashfire would be interesting.

Ben · 12-05-2003, 05:31 AM

I bet they would be really similar in performance though. I personally like the Blastfire's looks better than any of the X-Stream guns. Why does X-Stream make such nice Nerf clones and such XPBackfire-esquepy soakers? :blink:
