Wow it looks great, as a little surprise, I could throw in a Speed Loader Double Cross 2000 review (I managed to get one, and its great!). I will also soon be getting a Speed Loader Double Cross 3000, so I may put a little bit of that in too! Let me know. ;)

EDIT: That's weird, its done the same on me now, it doesn't show, just gets an error message.

You may want to use a different host. I haven't been able to view the site at all because the data transfer has been exceeded.

That's another problem with GeoCities. That's one reson my site doesn't have many pictures.

This should be interesting to read. I would put in a plea, though, please tone down the size of your pictures! Or provide a low-bandwidth alternative.

Yes, there are too many big graphics. Sure, I load it in a second, however my friend's 43k dial-up loads it in a half hour.

Nice site anyways.

Images have been cut down now (14 picture review turned into a 3 picture review.) Once the site is re-instated by geocities, the change should be visible.

My upcoming sites which are about Super Soaker Classics and Squirt Pistols will be less elaborate in art design, so much faster for slower internet connections.

Yes, definately. Guest reviews are welcome. Especialy the Double Cross 3000.

Nice website. It's about time that a Speed Loader only website came around. I too would suggest getting off Geocities because of the bandwidth limits.

It would be neat if you could track down the guy who invented the Speed Loaders (I think his name was Joel?). I just checked Hydrowar and it was: http://www.hydrowar.net/letter.html I just did a whois because the website was offline, and the domain is owned by shrockie[at]yahoo.com. Emailing them might get you a link to the inventor.

Other than that, buy some more Speed Loaders and get some more reviews! Speed Loaders really are underappreciated, at least from what I've seen.

Here's a short Speed Loader Double Cross 2000 review, obviously, since I want to make my Speed Loader reviews very detailed on SSN, I can only really do a little on here, otherwise I will be giving too much away.

Review:

The Speed Loader Double Cross 2000 was released in 1999 by a company called W3 (Wild Water Weapons). This company is unfortunately gone, since Super Soaker disabled using their Quick Fill Device which is now becoming to be that it was made FIRST, BEFORE Super Soaker did. Shame, Speed Loader were doing way better guns than Super Soaker were, so Super Soaker cheated and now Speed Loader are out of business.

Anyway, onto the gun. Its so great, it has two turrets that you can rotate 180 degrees, so you can control and make it worse for your enemies. You can fire the two streams at the same time any way/formation you like. Even better, the shot time any way you fire this gun is amazing, it never stops. Range is ok, but could be better, although it will still do the job. The output is also great, soaks and just soaks.

As from the name, this relies on quick fill technology, meaning no pumping, so you must use the quick fill device with it at all times, otherwise, it will be useless.

Overall, I love this gun and have absolutely no regrets buying it. The range could be a little better, and some people may not like the quick fill device idea, but, if you don't mind this, I suggest every soaker fan should get one if they find it. I urge you, if you see it, grab it before its too late! A must!

Thanks for the review.

Which reminds me, to make an extra guest reviewer page.

Racer. If it takes a half hour to load on your friends computer, it will take over an hour to load on mine I tried to view the site on saturday, but it took so long to load I didn't bother. :cool:

That is a nice site indeed. I actually own two speed loader 1000's and a speed loader double cross 3000. They are very nice guns indeed. Maybe if you would be so kind as to give me some time to review them and take pictures, I will.

I am definatly intersted to see a review and pictures, and even post in on the website, if you don't mind. I never have seen a Speedloader Double Cross 3000, so I am very eager to read about it.

Poor guy... It would be great if Speed Loader could make a return, although that is highly unlikely. They outperform many many water guns, even though they rely on the QFD. I wish I had gotten more of them while they were still circulating, now extremely rare and good.

I think I should redo the pics of the Double Cross 3000 as when I took them it was cloudy out, so would you want me to take brighter sunnier pictures?
