Description: The above statistics are
assumed, but have not been actually measured since this weapon still resides
in its original box.
To celebrate the dawning of the new age of water warfare, the original
series SS50 was repackaged, coloured silver and sold in a plastic-sealed
box, a "MUST-HAVE" for any water-weapon enthusiast. By current
standards, the SS50 poses little threat. It does not have a separate pressure
chamber and does not hold much water relatively speaking, but its water
use-to-supply ratio is excellent , the pumping mechanism is rather fragile
but the SS50 still reigned supreme in the time of primarily pump-action
and battery-powered water guns.
This version is really not meant for use in the field, but nice to
keep as a reminder of days gone by.
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). This is one of the weapons which helped change water war forever.
Cons: Fragile, has a tendency to leak, especially
if the O-ring is damaged or loose. Nozzle size is significantly smaller
than the newer weapons and range is more limited. The pumping mechanism
is also somewhat fragile. (Don't force it to hard or it will break... I
know from experience.)
