Also, would you recommend the [SIZE=3]CPS 1200[/SIZE]? :huh:[/font]

Well, I love my CPS 1200 and would recommend you get it if you can. Though apparently the CPS 1000 is better.

No offense, but the arc of a water gun's water output would make a scope useless for aiming. At sniping distance (say, 30-40 feet), the arc of the water would be far below that of the scope's crosshair. It could, however, be used to scout out enemies, but that purpose is better saved for binoculars. Binoculars have a wider view.

Edit: See last sentence.
Edit: Changed the distances.

What mod are you talking about?

[at]Mdriver-A CPS 2100 is much more common than a CPS 1200. Also, a CPS 2100 is more known as a sniper gun on multiple pages.

The one shown in the link at the top.

You could use a scope if you wear camo, and hide in a bush. Then if a enemy comes within 10 feet, you have pinpoint acuracy.

Freakymist would tell you CPS 1500 or 1700 all the way. CPS 2000 is still the best. or a homemade. (doom! idea!)

BlueSmudge · 05-13-2004, 08:17 PM

the 2000 would be an awesome sniping weapon until you had to get away.

Ben · 05-14-2004, 05:51 AM

Yeah, homemades do work great for sniping. My latest one (need a name!) actually has a good enough shot time to allow me to adjust the shot so it's better than a CPS 2000, it also has better range.

BlueSmudge · 05-14-2004, 08:19 PM

Cool, and it's not even CPS. I have a question about it though. In the pictures you had a check valve right after the barb on the gun thats connects to the backpack. Wouldn't that check valve need to be on the pump side to work? Otherwise either the water couldn't get out, or the pressure couldn't get into the backpack to pump it out.

Ben · 05-14-2004, 11:02 PM

Both of the check valves are pointed towards the PCs. A homemade will not work without 2 check valves.

When the pump is draw out, it creates negative pressure inside the pump, causing the check valve near the backpack to open, sucking the water in. Then when you pump it in, the check valve near the backpack prevents it from going back into the backpack and the water goes into the PCs. The water is held in the PCs by the check valve near them.

Does that explain that better?

BlueSmudge · 05-15-2004, 01:46 AM

Oh,I didn't know when you pulled the pump out it opened the check valve. That's cool. WOuldn't it also work having it right after the pump, before it gets to the "T"?
