Description:  One of the smallest air-powered water guns out there, the SS 30 makes a great back-up weapon and is also useful for covert operations. The model reviewed is the one released in 1999.

The small water reservoir definitely would not last one long in a large firefight, but the SS 30 can get one out of a sticky situation should one's main weapon run dry. The power of the weapon is quite good despite its size. It is also one of the few weapons made by Larami Ltd. which actually looks like a pistol except for the water tank on top.

This weapon's best use if for back-up. However, as it is based on tha original design, it does appear a little flimsier than the XP, SC or CPS lines so a little care should be taken when using the SS 30. Otherwise, it makes a great pistol.

Pros: Small, light, easy to carry. Rate of fire-to-water supply ratio quite good and can last a fairly long time (though water yield is low). Packs good power for its size.

Cons: Relatively fragile and may leak, especially if the O-ring is damaged or loose. Nozzle size is significantly smaller than the newer weapons. The pumping mechanism is also somewhat fragile. (Don't force it to hard or it will break... I know from experience.)
