Like most other blasters, the Super Soaker 100 has faults. The main fault with the soaker is that it is rather weak compared to blasters of today, due to its small nozzle; the Super Soaker 100 has been outclassed by more powerful weapons of a similar size. The Super Soaker 100 is also known to be very fragile, with a poor pump and leaks a lot. Super Soaker Original Classic Series". www.isoaker.com. Archived from the original on September 23, 2015 .

In 1992, Larami was sued for patent infringement by Talk to Me Products, who claimed the Super Soaker was a copy of their American Gladiator water gun, which was patented in 1978. However, Talk to Me Products lost their case as their patent referred to a water gun " having a chamber therein". The Super Soaker used a water chamber on top of the gun, that was detachable for filling. [8]

In our range tests we fired each water gun several times at various angles to find the maximum range we were able to reach. Across the board we found that aiming your gun slightly higher helped the water fire further.

Performance

We're looking especially to see if manufacturer claims prove accurate in the real world, so if a product is advertised on its ability to fire water jets far, but in reality they go just a few meters, we'll tell you. We then fired each water gun from a couple of metres away, ensuring that the whole shot hit the tester's overalls. Super Soaker Other Pressurization Systems Soaker Evolution Tree".

After two more years, the final CPS models were the 2100 and 4100. If you've got a water gun with a good range, this tactic will help you maximise your advantage. 3) Keep moving

Reading the box art it seems that Hasbro were very keen on keeping the removable reservoir for retro points so unfortunately no fast filling screw caps here although they've also gone a different route from the SS100 style screw on variety with a bayonet style attachment that uses the orange collar to fix it in place. Super Soaker is an American brand of recreational water gun that uses manually-pressurized air to shoot water with greater power, range, and accuracy than conventional squirt pistols. The Super Soaker was invented in 1989 by engineer Lonnie Johnson. The prototype combined PVC pipe, acrylic glass, and an empty plastic soda bottle. [1] Super Soaker started with two pressurized reservoir water guns, and has continued to produce them in various shapes and sizes. Smith, Monica.

This tactic can be used to your advantage when your enemies run out of water, too. If you're close to the refill station when they need to come in to load up, they'll be left wide open for you to give them a good soaking without any risk of return fire. 2) Aim high

The other major difference is the pump. More precisely, the pump in the remake is physically larger than the old version. Which means you can actually pump up your blaster in reasonable amounts of time! The pump handle, and its placement above the barrel, remain the same. You'll have to make those shots count, however, as despite having a capacity of more than a litre we only fired it seven times before it needed refilling. This may be partly due to how much water is wasted during pumping, as it dribbled a lot of water out of the end of the barrel when we were pumping it up. Eastwood, Brian (2017-12-08). "The case of the Super Soaker and the chamber therein". MIT Sloan. MIT Sloan School of Management . Retrieved 2021-07-21. The stream is small, but consistent for most of its range. At most, I was able to get 35ft of range at the beginning of the shot (with a few sprinkles outside that, but that seems disingenuous to count). Range drops off fairly rapidly, but the stream itself takes a good ten seconds before you’ve completely lost power and have no range at all. Overall, we think this is a superb water gun that'll make everyone want to be on your team for your next water fight.

The XP100 is a lightweight, solid blaster, with the modern, durable plastic you’d expect from Hasbro. It keeps the overall shape of the classic it’s based on, but has a few key differences to go along with the face lift.

[10] These guns do not have triggers; they are fired simply by pumping. Although this design feature allows them to reload rapidly, piston pumpers tend to have less range and less power than other designs. Experience the water-drenching fun that started it all!

XP 15 As a micropistol and the smallest XP soaker ever made, this was roughly equivalent to the SS 10 XP 35 As a light rifle, this arguably filled the same role as the former SS 30 XP 65 As a medium rifle, this was the effective replacement for the SS 50 XP 105 As a heavy rifle, and as the lightest one still in production with a separate pressure reservoir, this effectively replaced the SS 100 XXP 175 Featuring two tanks and two barrels, and being the second-largest blaster in the lineup, this was the successor to the SS 200 XXP 275 Despite being a single-piece blaster, this inherited many design principles from the SS 300, such as the fact that it was fired by pulling a lever on top of the barrel rather than by pulling a trigger.
