Description:
The SC: Triple Charge is unique in the SuperSoaker series. Possibly based
on the SC400, the SC: Triple Charge is a pressurized-reservoir-type water
blaster with quick fill capabilities. What makes it unique is that its
has the ability to change reservoirs while on the field. The reservoirs
can be prepressurized and/or filled separately at a QFD or at a regular
tap. The SC: Triple Charge comes with two additional reservoirs, the 2-way
QFD and a strap/vest for mounting the reserve reservoirs while on the
field. Unfortunately, though a novel idea, the clips which hold the tank
to the blaster feel prone to damage. Also, the vest feels of questionable
strength, especially when carrying loaded reserve reservoirs. The angle
of the reservoir on the blaster forces one to point upwards when firing
to make the most of the water.
In the end, the weapon has a good feel to it and would put up a good fight
in any small engagement or as a last-resort weapon. However, it not recommended
for major water fights or fights where running/climbing is needed.
Pros:
Small, light, easy to carry. Despite its size, it packs decent power.
It also does not take too much effort to pump up the firing chamber. The
additional ability to have two extra pre-charged reservoirs is a nice
concept.
Cons:
As with any of the air-pressured water weapons, pumping is required between
shots to maintain firing rate. The intake tube for firing lies above the
level line of the blaster meaning that one needs to point up to use most
of the water in the reservoir. One thing to be careful of is the pumping
mechanism which extends from the front of the blaster. Also, the weapon's
vest/belt does not feel too sturdy and it is not recommendable to run
with it if it is carrying two full reserve reservoirs.
