You claim your 21K shoots 4 feet. I assume that is a typo....

Yep, I meant 40 feet. I will fix it once I am again on the pagebuilder.

I guess you managed to pull together a brief compilation of soaker history--but I was thinking that you'd have more tactics, etc. Are you thinking of expanding and covering tactics as well? Nobody's too interested in history (not I, at any rate).

Nope, no tactics or war stories, since its meant as a water gun model guide. It was made for people who are interested/curious in a basic overview/review of history such as I. If "nobody" is interested in history, then it shall be a website made just for me. ;)
[Edit]: Plus I doubt you are speaking for everybody on the internet.

Not that I have anything against tactics, but my interest is not really big enough to research all the vararities of other users tactics, and there are already enough websites out there who specialize on gaming not even counting paintball, airsoft, nerf and lasertag.

Hmmm...good point about other sports having similar tactics. I'll check them out, though those sports are used to much longer ranges ;) .

I never said anything about war stories! Most of them are just fantastical and too over-the-top. They just seem to annoy me.

Tactics and war stories go very often together. And most tactics descriptions are mini-war stories/summaries anyways. At least they way they are told by some.

Somebody may use actual war stories or realistic hypothetical situations to illustrate tactics, but beyond that...

Every website has different strengths/focuses. Zoccoz's new site is for models and soaking history. You'll have to look elsewhere for other things. That's what other sites are for. If you want tactics, look in the wars sections of the three large forums, you'll find plenty. If you want some more advanced stuff, you'll have to look harder, not much exists. I am of course going to write as much expertise as possible about tactics for SM, yet very little on stock models and history. If you want to find good information about various things, you'll have to look in more than one place. ;)

And I do write actual war stories and use realistic hypothetical scenarios.

Okay, I guess this topic has finally reached a conclusion...thanks, everybody. I guess I should be increasing the variety of sites that I visit.

@ Duxburian: I never said that you do make up fantastical scenarios--I was just expressing the difference between tactics and war stories.

Somewhere during the next week I will try to put up the CPS 2000 Mk.2 review on in the same style of the Cosmic Liquidator.

Well, if you have a CPS 2000 Mk.1, then use that. As everybody knows, it's supposed to be the strongest.

Of course, you probably knew that, and you just don't have one to test. It's good to know that there are others like me ;) ...

Yes, I know about the mk. differences since 2003. The MK.1 has 6-7X more output and a more fragile PC rubber. Which shows once again that every soaker has its ups and downs.Very often one should see the Mk.2 as a different soaker from the Mk.1 having different internals(Rubber, Pc size...) and externals(pressure gauage). Which is what I am doing and my upcoming review is doing once its done.

I don't have an Mk.1. It would be interesting to test one, but I don't want to pay over $60 for one. And all those ebay nOObs with their 0 or less than 10 feedbacks don't make it easy of course.

By "it has 6-7X more output," you probably mean "it has + 6-7X more output." It's a bit confusing both ways, though.

I need any CPS 2000 at all. In fact, I could make good use of any CPS that comes my way ;) .

Exept for the "+", I don't see much of a difference in meaning. Which might be the reason why both seem equaly confusing.

Yep, nowdays CPS guns(actual CPS guns, not those flash floods or blazers) are high in demand. My youngest CPS model is a Monster X 03, so that shows what my actual apreciation for the current CPS blasters is.
