iSoaker.net: The iSoaker Network

Modded a soaker recently or built something from scratch? Let us know about your work! Give us a brief overview of the sort of mod or build you did and how well your project turned out. If it's an on-going project, let us know what stage you have reached and how things are progressing. This thread, akin to the Latest Soaker / Water Blaster thread, is meant to chronicle and showcase members' mods and creations.

For modded stock blasters, tell us what blaster you modded and what things you did to try to improve it. Include, if available, the resulting new blaster stats (i.e. new ranges, new output measurements, improved capacities).

For homemade blasters, let us know what you built or are in the process of building. For homemade blasters, please only detail blasters that are at least functional, not ones that are only in the designing or early building stages. Describe, if possible, its size/shape/dimensions, the type of pressurization system it is using, and how well it performs.

In either case, pictures of the blaster as well as action shots and shot pics would be great additions, too!

Soak on!

I have recently changed my CPS 2100 shotgun back to a CPS 21k.

Stats:

CPS 2100 (stock):

Output: roughly 200 ml/sec
Range: 38 ft.
Shot Time: 3.3 sec

CPS 2100 shotgun:

Output: 310 ml/sec
Range: 15-20 ft. ,varies
Shot Time: 2 sec

CPS 21k (20 balloons)

Output: 240 ml/sec
Range: 48-51 ft.
Shot Time: 2.9 sec.

Also, I gave it a strap by opening it up and tying string around 2 screw holes/slots, letting one end of each loop stick out of the gun. I closed the gun with the loops sticking out making it possible to attach a strap to the stable loop.

I will be giving my 2500 1 layer of bike tubes sometime in the future, but likely won't for a while as I have been very busy with homework.

APH: Stats
Range 1/4 stream: 60 ft.

That's all I've measured so far.

-APH: Needs a reservoir, some leaks need to be repaired. Best range: ~55'
-CPH: Needs some things added on, have yet to shoot it.
-Max-D 6000 PRVD+nozzle drill (actually Croc did this), top range: ~40-45', and the nozzles are all bigger than the original biggest.

I have changed my 21k.20 back to a shotgun, seeing as there is no need for it now that our team has acquired another CPS 1000. Only, this time, it has balloons, making it the 21k.20 shotgun.

Stats:

Output: 540 ml/sec (full PC in 1 second)
Range: 5-10 feet, depending on amount pumped
Shot Time: 1 sec pumped fully, if not pumped fully, 1> sec

Any of you guys got pics or even shot pics of your mods/homemades that you can share, too?

On Nov 08 I got a Hydro Blitz. On late Jan this year it was not building pressure. I opened it just to learn that the pump system went dead.

I had a Tiger Shark since early Dec 08. I took the pressure chamber from the Hydro Blitz and replaced the one on the Tiger Shark.

Took me about 2 days looking for parts around the house and performing the mod. Now the pressure chamber hangs from a side, kinda resembling a shock rifle or something. Power, range, shot time and usable water have notably improved, so has pump times, force required to pump and weight gone up, not to mention now is off balance and difficult to carry it on the right hand.

I was unable to connect it from the top opening of the pressure chamber as the water tank would not let it fit, nor the parts I was able to find and use. So I place it as you see on the pics and the other way around, thought it was better the way it looks now. I could have place it in a way it would go upwards but then it would block your view or hit your face. What I basically did was to use an orange garden hose splitter which has a tight fit with the gun opening, but was quite loose on the pressure chambers opening. So I used some thick rubber rings and vaseline on both ends. Afterward I sealed the unused ends on both, the splitter and the pressure chamber, and used some straps to hold everything together. It definitely works as it is, and has no leaks at all since first assembly, but also hurts the eyes, needs some sort of extreme make over.

This is a basic table showing Before/Now specs (Largest nozzle only for now):

Level - 45 Degrees - Shot Time - Pumps
8M/9.5M - 9M/11.5M - 3s/4.5s - 13/30

Still haven´t tested smaller nozzles, nor current weight when full.

Considering that I have changed a 0.4L pressure chamber with a 0.9L one, plus the 1.4L water tank, you can say it is now a 2.3L water gun overall, giving about 2 full shots and a half. Recoil is also clearly felt now when using the largest nozzle.

Pictures would be great! You can attach/upload pictures directly here in your post (see the "Upload attachment tab" below when you're posting). Sounds like an interesting mod and would love to see what you've done and hear more about how it performs now!
