An age old question answered

almoststew1990 · 9 Jul 2020 at 19:40

For literally decades I have been wondering who out my brother and I had the better Super Soaker as a kid. Now all my questions are answered as some absolute champion has tested and reviewed what seems to be every Super Soaker ever.

http://www.isoaker.com/Armoury/soaker_listing.php

Turns out I could, should and sadly didn't destroy my (older) brother with my bangin' CPS 1500 where he was stuck with a crappy XXP 275! A direct quote for you: "If there were something like a Rolls Royce among water guns, the CPS 1500 would be it" and, to avoid any and all doubt, "The CPS 1500 can outclass any XP or XXP weapon in terms of firepower."

So now you're all aware of this essential website - you're welcome.

I can't wait to jet over there and soak up the information, thank you

I just hope people are not too triggered by all this.

I think we had a couple of these, looks about right;

So you had the superior weapon in combat and still lost.

I can’t even with you, just disappointed.

The Super Soaker XP 110 was my weapon of choice, I remember going to Woolworths for it.

When I was a kid, we used to use fairy liquid bottles filled with water to squirt each other, that was if we couldn't afford to buy a water pistol from the shops at Clifton Hatch.

No way, you are a legend!!

This was mine!!!

piece of crap had that seperate pressure compartment but it had split/cracked around the thread so it just dribbled down your arm the entire time of use hahaha

loved it!

I'm pretty sure I had the SS100 as well, although I don't remember it being blue.

Hah!

I remember having a couple of water-pistol type things like that image, all the other kids have super soakers that could shoot you from miles away. I just pretended I was the terminator and charged through it firing my silly little water handguns in dual-wield.

...At least I felt like a badass.

Still got one here in a box somewhere I think!

Growing up I remember one kid had a

one with a backpack that had the water reservoir in it. Only it never worked right, and just puked water out of every joint it had. After the third or fourth time, he got fed up of getting soaked and not being able to return fire, he threw a fit and never joined in again.

Brilliant site!

I had a CPS 1500 as well! The kids up on the next block (our sworn water fight enemies) all had the XP 70:

They felt pretty nice to use, a good all rounder. The CPS 1500 was like a howitzer in comparison though, we used to use the wheelie bins as cover on the back street but this thing felt/sounded like it was going to go through them. I distinctly remember blasting somebody in the face at close range in the midst of combat, then we all had to stop because he was crying and thought his glasses were broken

I also had this one:

The burst fire mode was awesome and actually made a little pew pew noise, felt like I was laying down suppressing fire when I used it!

Amazing site, haven't thought about my XP 270 in years! Can't believe that came out 20 years ago, makes me feel old!

I remember a couple rich kids with the CPS 1500, we were like lambs to the slaughter vs that monster.

almoststew1990 · 9 Jul 2020 at 22:23

Ha, the only reason I got one was because we visited a family friend who always had the best of everything and liked to show it. We got an absolute soaking as they had some modern for the time models and we had some original looking ones (no idea what model or anything, but slim looking onee) and I think my Mum took pity on us and took us to Argos that same day, it wasn't even a birthday coming up or anything (I remember it well).

I've also noticed that if you need about 50 close up photos per model of water being sprayed then this site has got you covered!

Mate had the 50, I had the 100

http://www.isoaker.com/Armoury/Analysis/1991/super_soaker_ss100.php

Both were great just a bit more water capacity in the 100. We used to go down to the next street along and fight the kids there who just had washing up bottles.

Ahh 1991 Jazzy Jeff and the fresh prince in my Walkman and a super soaker in my hands, what a time to be alive!

Yeah I had this one, though it was called a 500, rather than 100, oddly. Was pretty great

Also had that one. It leaked so bad though, I swear It used to soak me more than it did others!

Haggisman · 10 Jul 2020 at 13:17

I had the double barrelled xxp175...

Until my stepdad smashed it up after I soaked him for being a **** XD

Eurofighter · 10 Jul 2020 at 14:30

I had a large CPS one. My grandma bought it for me.
