Please keep in mind that both guns of the guy on youtube need much equipment to refill. It is not useful to have a incredible shot and then the thing is over and you have to run for the rest of the war. THese guns do use big "bottles" filled with water and then added some compressed air with high pressure. While the one fires a big shot and that is all, poeple with powerful CPS just pump and get ready for another shot in seconds. Soakers must be refilled fast and easily to be useable in a water warfare. And also keep in mind that the farther the range, the longer the time till it reaches the aim, which makes it easy to dodge. Best range and fastest streams are at 12-15 metres maximum of range.

Speaking from own experiences it is very difficult to hit someone 14 metres away with a CPS 2000. The water needs time and the opponent can flee...But get into 10 metres or less and you will give your opponent a big flash which he will never forget.

Well I'm not sure if you determine that someone is dead or out of the round in your water warfare by being completely soaked head to toe swimming in their shoes then I beg to differ :D these guns are extremely effective the volume they deliver in a split second is greater than they could expend in the entire round at a greater distance. The guns you saw are more of a guard the base or one man army kind of guns also those 8" tubes are heavy and expensive.
I make multi tank smaller packs that don't weigh a lot or cost a lot and running is a lot easier when you run out. I also can make a crossover basically a little version of a "supercannon" that is hand pumped. I must warn you no one will want to have a water warfare with you after that. The people who wanted me to have water wars with them all quit and gave away their guns except for my devil dog friend true story lol :p

Difficult to say. Depending on which materials I use and what the Homemade should look like I would say between 30 and 100 pounds. Sometimes things work at first try, sometimes you have to make something 10 times or more often so you get what you want. No Homemade is the same and the same work, even if you build up the same Homemade again.

It would also be easier if you can post a CONZEPT or an idea/image of what it should look like, how it should work, PC volume, nozzle size and so on. The idea is always the first thing to start with and for homemades, the idea have to come from its USER. So show us what you want(in detail^^) then I can have a try and then talk about a price.
