UserID: 110 |  I don't get it. 1st why is it 1500s/1700s. 2nd why do they like tricking and screwing people so much. And 3rd, how is this legal. THEY ARE LYING TO US! I personnally find it an outrage. We are just kids who want a nice fun water gun. Not a rip off! :angry:

UserID: 30 |  because the manufacturers are based in foreign countries where the US can't get governmental cooperation to make a bust. some people just care about money dude, get used to it.

UserID: 1 | They do it because people think of the SS name and they think of quality. As Neo said, they don't have to follow the US rules because they are manufactured elsewhere.

UserID: 1 | There is a good fake CPS 1000, but it looks exactly the same as a normal one except for the sticker. I think it's a real bootleg, meaning it was made by Larami but sold illegally.
