Sorry for incorrect information, but there are actually 3 versions
of the CPS 1500. More information can be found in the Soaked
Newsletter at Water
Weapons of Mass Destruction in Article
#10 (Document on "Third times a Charm").
This doesn't come as a suprise to me because I wasn't an Internet Soaker
fan last year and never saw the Soaked Newsletter. Only this year did I
(Super Soaker Warrior) make my return into Super Soakers, Taking my name
from my 93 and 94 Water War Team Name.This was half as a fun way to do
things this year, and half as retaliation from a shot in the back with
an XP70 by my friends little sister when I was unarmed. She'll pay this
year.

The First true Battle of the CWSL came yesterday when SuperSoakerWarrior
with a CPS 1500 and BlackWolf (with SSWs 1000) took to the Field. (at SSWs
house). The battle ended at a truce, with both players left in a sopping
wet mess.
Summers Here!

Sorry I didn't mention this earlier, but on 5/27/99 I posted Detailed
benchmarks of the CPS 1000 on the 1000's review page. They have been verified
with the CPS 1000 clone Super Shooter 2000.(Same thing)
Today my CPS 1500 Broke... The metal mesh filter fell back inside the
gun. I took it back to the store to have it replaced. But the replacement
seems to have some very odd quirks. The Filter isn't right behind the nozzle
where it can get pushed in, it is on the back wall of the water output
compartment. Also the gun has a weird air valve that doesn't allow for
just air(without water) to be pumped into the gun for that CPS Puff we
all seem to like sometimes when we're bored and looking for a smile. It
also has 3 ft more range!
Perhaps I have just discovered CPS 1500 Mk. 2....

Notice to all Water Warriors still using Classic 100's and 200's (Original
ones, not new improved.). Want to turn your gun into CPS technology? Unscrew
the Pressure tank, get an empty balloon, a medium sized one. Stuff the
balloon into the pressure tank, and pull the balloon opening out and wrap
it over and around the threads of the tank. Screw the tank back in. Pump
it up as you usually would. Fire...
This worked in the Classic 200 model, It will keep a stable range and
pressure for the entire firing time. this creates a rubber water bag similar
to the ones in the CPS's, and if the balloon ever breaks, its easily removable,
and replaceable.
If it doesn't work or somehow damages your gun, I cannot be held responsible.
However, I do appreciate any feedback.

Repaired the voting box from where some immature little @%@$%# voted
10 times for the CPS 3000. The Quizlet has been reset and set to the voting
numbers counted at 4:45AST 5/26/99. When 10 votes come in for just 1 gun
within a 2-3 day stretch, its believable, but when it happens in a 2 hour
time period, something is amuck... Usually someone amuck in the head.
In my opinion, the CPS 3000 is a good gun. It is the biggest Super
Soaker. But not the most powerful. Look at this months issue of "The
Reservoir" on Supersoaker.com And look at the "Squirtage" part of the
table. It shows 7oz/sec - the CPS 1000 does 6.5oz/sec, 1500 does 12oz/sec,
and the 2500 does 14.5oz/sec. The facts don't lie.

Yesterday I made the purchase of the Super Shooter CPS 2000 listed
below on the 5/11/99 entry. It is a purple colored version of the CPS 1000.
In Design and in Performance, this gun is exactly the same as the CPS 1000.
In fact, I don't even call it a CPS 2000, I call it CPS 1000. Pictures
of this gun will soon follow and be posted on this site.

Special Information Bulletin!!
Compare the designs of the Classic
50 at Aquatechnology to the design of the Original
100 at the MiB Alliance Page ... They look the same... Not because
they look similar anyway, but look at Aquatechnology 50's Barrel length,
and count the ribs on the bottom of the pump handle. On MiB's Classic 50,
the handle has 7 ribs. The Original 100 has 10 ribs. The Classic 50 on
Aquatechnology has 10 ribs. These details in my Mind, along with My Friends
Classic 50 size, have sparked two considerations of what the Original 100
is. It could be...
A) Original 100 was the original number for the 50 before the Classic
100 was released, taking its numerical place. they then downgraded the
100's number to 50.
or....
B) As not to waste the stock of constructed Original 100's when Classic
100 was released , maybe they were labeled as Classic 50's and then sold
off, then eventually replaced by a smaller 50 gun.
or....
C) Classic 50 was released in europe (MiB says it was found in Paris)
as Original 100, due to reasons that may have left Larami without rights
to sell the actual Classic 100 (Patent or Safety reasons).
At any rate, something is amuck. The design variations are difficult
to ignore.

An uneventful week at the C-WSL. The C-WSLs first battle test of a
CPS weapon came saturday as a spontaneous indoor fight erupted when a friend
shot me with a Classic 30. Not a wise thing to do when the target is carrying
a loaded 1500. The only part of me wet at the end was a shot taken directly
to the back with a New Improved 100. It seems the new 100 is much more
powerful than the old one. It's Nozzle and pressure is definitely higher.
As for other news, this site was renamed today. changing from "The C-WSL
Super Soaker Website" to the more interesting "AQUA - NeXuS". Also a more
fitting site midi sound was chosen. It is the midi of "View to a Kill"
by Duran Duran, a theme song to a James Bond movie. Fitting.
Also I got a good look at WSLer TKD-SuperStars Classic 50 today, but
oddly enough, the weapons design specs looked like the Original
100 design which can be found on the MiB
Alliance Page. TKD denied it was an Original 100, but I've dealt with
several 50's in the WSL Prior to this year. (It was the most common weapon
in the league) I noticed the barrel was longer, pump handle was bigger
and the handle was bigger. And now that I've gotten the chance to better
look over the picture of the 50 compared to the Original 100, I'm even
more certain. More on this when I acquire a Classic 50 from Zellers (Canadian
Store, related to the "The Bay") early next month, if not this month.
In the last note, if you haven't been out soaking yet, you're wasting
time. If it's warm enough here... Its gotta be warm enough there.

SSW coming at you again with new and improved cornball ways of improving
the C-WSL page. Yeah yeah yeah, if you have anything to say just drop a
message in my 
.
In the meantime, you can place your 
for your favorite CPS on the voting page...
Also in the news is the new line of Star Wars : Episode 1 Super Soakers.
Air Pressure waterguns with designs from the movie. In one opinon I have
is that Larami has violated its design history of weapons uninfluenced
by anything else on the market. In another look, these guns will make an
interesting collectors piece to anyones Watergun Rack, Star Wars Fan and
SuperSoaker Fan alike. More on them when I get a closer look.

Examined the water output of a general class water hose (mine actually).
7oz/second. Compared to the 12oz of my CPS 1500 and the 14.5oz of the CPS
2500. I knew I was getting hit by more than I expected when I let (future)WSLer
"Flash" fire it at me.
I fired a quarter second blast at WSLer "BlackWolf" as a joke. Forgot
my 1500 was at 10x. Got half his shirt wet. It isn't a smart thing to do
when he's holding my other supersoaker. It also isn't a smart thing to
attack a CPS with an Improved 100 out of vengance >:)
If you haven't guessed, I tested out my 1500 out on a moving target,
err... friend (Flash) today for the first time. He got hit once and surrendered.
He then asked me "let me just show you exactly what you're hitting me with,
just for a second...." So I let him...
Its incredible.
I can't wait for the other WSLers to get CPS's.

Did a extensive review and benchmark on the performance of the CPS
1500, check it out on the Super Soaker Review page for the 1500. My findings
are very interesting.

Another beautiful report from the web master, SSW. Today at a local
grocery/department store (known to some as a Co-op) I spotted a familiar
looking squirt gun (or cannon rather) called the "Super Shooter CPS 2000".
Gun design, CPS logo, mechanics and performance are Identical to none other
than the CPS 1000. Even the colours of the gun and it's box. Even the lettering
of "Super Shooter" was the same as "Super Soaker" and it also has "Constant
Pressure" at the top... Even the part of the box that showed off the 5x
nozzle was there. The only difference was the box was just a big flat slab
of cardboard with the gun held on by twist ties, and the gun was 3$ cheaper
than the CPS 1000. I think that all this is just too much coincidence to
be made by someone else, even though Larami wasn't written on the gun.
WSLer BlackWolf, who was with me at the time, speculated that the gun is
a lower priced identical model made by the same company to be sold at grocery
stores for a cheaper price, that the only difference is that it doesn't
bear the Super Soaker name.
I figure that another company has tied in with the production plant
of the CPS 1000 in China and is selling CPS 1000's as Super Shooter CPS
2000's to get a share of the profit, I have seen this done in the computer
world where a Laptop manufacturer sold the same Model to both Dell and
Quantex (PC-World - April 99).
All in all it is the same CPS 1000 that we've all grown to love, and
targets of it grown to hate.

Hey it's me again, good ol' SSW. Updating the page. What do you think
of the new look? Anyway, I'm proud to say that this weekend I purchased
a CPS 1500. It's major butt whooping material, and even more so because
its the only one anyone's ever allowed me touch. AND IT'S ALL MINE >:).....
As the Classic 50 did with water wars the first time, the CPS will revolutionize
water wars once again.
If you would like your new guns announced on the C-WSL page, just give
me an EMail, It doesn't matter where you're from. I'll only need the gun
type, your NickName, and where you live.
That's All Folks!!

Hello, and welcome. Super Soaker Warrior here. This is the first posting
on the C-WSL news page.
Okay, This is how I'm gonna do it. Postings will be either written
by me or sent to me though Email or other ways. Also on this page will
be links to other, bigger newsletters. I can't say if this page will be
updated often, but at least weekly.
But hey, Y'all go out there and have fun this year. This'll be the
best year for Super Soakers EVER!
