iSoaker.net :: Soaking the world!

I wish for a soaker with a tracked pump, cylindical CPS firing chamber, 2X, 5X, 10X, and 20X nozzles, 110-140 oz. capacity that is semi-transparent, has range of 50 feet and has decent shot time.

Why cylindrical? If you would settle for a spherical, just build this, but with a tracked pump and a clear pipe reservoir. Just attach a piece of PVC or ABS around the pumpas long as the pump fully extended, cut a slit in the bottom for the handle, and one on each side for a bolt to help secure the pump. Tada! Or get a CPS 2500 and get slightly less range, but add 3 more nozzles, including your 2x.

However, this is the kind of thing hasbro could sell 25-30 dollars, but doesn't feel like making. Grrr. I do feel that with a sherical PC though, you can have just as much PC capacity, but in a more compact form. Look at the vanquisher.

So... basically you just want a CPS 2500?

Martianshark- i beat you to it.

I want a new cps backpack gun were the gun itself is pistol sized and a small cps gun the size of water warriors steady stream equalizer vindicator and such. oh and add a semi tracked pump, 1x 3x 5x 7x 10x and 15x nozzle selector, pressure gauge, and clear resivoir.

I was reading through some old "suggestions to improve current soakers" topics, I decided to post some thoughts in here. Some are more detail-specific while others focus more on the actual internals.

-As I've noted many times, I'd like to see more semi-tracked pumps.
-Trasparent/transluscent reservoirs are nice. This year's WWs are a step in the right direction, as the Gorgon has semi-transluscent PCs and reservoir.
-Better organization for the nozzles. I think the Gorgon takes care of this as well, things like the Orca and Blazer were tricky to get used to with their "smallest-medium-fan-second smallest-largest" kind of nozzle configuration.
-I'm not sure about the rest of you guys, but I find 0.5x nozzles on mid sized/large soakers pretty useless. I use the second smallest nozzle on the Blazer/Orca/Gorgon when I'm conserving (about 1x), the 3x sized for general combat, and the largest on the former two for close-quarters drenching. Lately I've been using the fan blasts to water my lawn Currently there's just too much overlap between the nozzles. One conserving nozzle (somewhere between 1-2x in output) should be enough, as well as one general combat nozzle (anywhere between 3x-6x in output, depending on the size of the soaker), a riot blast and a fan/other fancy spray would be my ideal 4 nozzles. If there must be 5, I'd go for something with spread that can acheive a decent range, perhaps something like the shower nozzles on the Monsters.
-Assuming that the next few years will be air pressure from WW, and that the Aquamasters Precharge system is out of the question, I'd like something with big fat PCs. Give us another SS300 (but perhaps more user-friendly) and there'll be no shortage of praise. Looking at the Gorgon's internals, there does seem to be quite a bit of dead space that could go toward having deeper pressure chambers, so if we assume that the Hydro Cannon is the most shelf space a current soaker can take up, there's a lot of room for a single-piece SS300.
-Speaking of SS300s, while I prefer on-board reservoirs, many yearn for backpacks. Perhaps an interchangeable system in the future?
-This year's WWs were also a step in the right direction (going by my preferences) with the light air-pressure rifles. I love the XP100something series, I'll go as far as saying they're some of the best soakers ever made, and I want to see them rise again. Something small, let's say around the dimensions of an Ultimate Explorer (with a bigger pressure chamber), and only 2 nozzles are needed: main combat (1x-3x in output) and a drenching nozzle/riot blast designed to just belch water out (which I vote becomes standard across the entire lineup, except the toddler pistols).

That's all I've got for now.
