I would like to know how I can keep my water guns in good condition(preferably not by opening the them up). Most of my guns break in a couple years. My record for longest living household gun is only 4 years on a rarely used XP 85. I might soon be getting a CPS 3000 and I want it to last a long long time. Also where should I keep the guns. Before I just put(sometimes threw :Hey, that's funny.: ) my guns in a plastic container that had a bunch of XPBackfire-esque in it already. Please help me on this one.

keep your guns indoors. expecially in the winter. if u leave a cps gun in the garage or outside in the winter, the cps balloon/cylinder could break the next time you use it cuz it would be frozen solid. thats basically I can say. that and Don't drop your gun.

Ha that must be why my CPS mysteriously broke over this winter.......Hey, that's funny. :P

Hey, that's funny. that sucks. also, you may actually want to open them up for a few things. like if you have a cps 4100, open it up and reinforce the trigger, since it breaks very easily. go to the reliability mods on this site for more.

It was leaking like Hasbro HQ. The poor fella was beyond repairing

.+ I threw it out already anyway -_- . I still would like to hear more on repairs.

1st lesson; Never put a soaker in the trash!

2nd: Storage... keep them indoors in a place that's very dry, I keep mine in my famly room on a large rack.

3rd: Cleaning... every month or two, fill the soaker up half way and pump for about 20 pumps then fire, this flushes out the system, make sure to clean it and get all leftover water out.

I polish mine and keep them in my room on a velvet pillow every night

like racer said, keep them in a warm place indoors, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE CPS! otherwise, like I said, they could break when you pump them.
