Possibly one of the best Super Soakers released since 2002. While it may be beat by the Flash Flood (and HydroBlitz?) in terms of power, I really admired how this gun combined elements of tried-and-true separate chamber air pressure technology with a solid design and excellent aesthetics/ergonomics. This is a gun that is completely straightforward and delivers with absolute panache and gravitas. If you can find a MI Defender out there for under 15 bucks, I would strongly encourage buying it. It needs little in the way of modification and the simple casing making deconstructing it for a paintjob a breeze. I'm still hoping to pick another one up simply for the purpose of painting it.

As a side note, it also features the MI cap that allows you to attach the backpack to it for added reservoir capacity. While I was never very fond of the MI backpacks (or backpack reservoirs in general), this may prove to be a useful addition for those of you out there who do.

I've wanted to try one for some time and it would've made a good substitute to the SC 400 back in the old days when mine broke. The P90-style grip seems to work fairly well but I haven't tried one. Powerwise, I heard that it can actually get reasonable range with a nozzle drill, but I'm fairly skeptical since it has a fairly small PC and appears to use the horrible intake tube design to get the PC's water out. I suppose this blaster is supposed to be more along the lines of the XP designs, which it ends up being far less powerful than a Max-D 6k and puts it around the power of the smaller Max-D's.
