Check Valve Freezing On Overload

[illi]

I was wondering where do you cut on an Overload?





Is this correct?

Hasbro recently has been making this easy; it usually colored. The pressure relief valve is probably the small colored section. However, the Overload is a plain separate firing chamber air pressure water gun. A pressure relief valve removal for a smaller air pressure gun is not recommended; the chance for damage is greater while the performance is not much greater. It's like trying to make a tricycle perform like a monster truck. It's not happening.

Edit: Wrong word

Agreed.

But still, the Overload has a decent amount of flow for a modern water gun (look at the iSoaker.com review - range is similar for both stream nozzles). With water guns with poor flow, large nozzles have terrible range, and modification doesn't help because it breaks up the smaller streams. With a water gun like this, you could do some power mods and use the larger nozzle or create your own.

Still, the internals might be quite flimsy. It takes a lot of extra pressure to see a satisfactory range improvement, and I don't know whether the internals are strong enough to do that. 3rd-millenium water guns aren't very reliable.
