Description: One of the smallest XPs out there, the XP 20 provides a decent back-up weapon for any water fight. Its small size makes the XP 20 easy to conceal or carry, but also means that it does not carry much water and would not last long in a larger skirmish. (Even less water than the XP 40)

The main drawback, other than size, to this gun is the fact that its water reservoir is also the pressure chamber. Because of this, it requires a little more pumping to maintain good pressure when one's water level begins to drop. Also, one cannot refill the gun when pressurized, leaving one temporarily vulnerable when filling at an unsafe filling station. The other minor bit of annoyance is the water intake. Due to its design, one cannot completely empty the water reservoir when firing, meaning that some water will go to waste. The pump stroke is also rather small and may feel a little awkward at times. Then again, that's the price one pays for such a small weapon.

Being an XP-class weapon, the XP 20 still packs a good punch for its size, but it is not recommendable be used as one's only weapon since its water supply will not last long, even if only sniping. Best used as a last resort weapon.

Pros: Small, light, easy to carry. Despite its size, it packs decent power. It also does not take too much effort to pump up the pressure chamber. Easy to fill with a nice, tethered cap and transparent water reservoir.

Cons: This is a rather small weapon with limited water capacity. The XP-class nozzle is outclassed by all larger XP, SC and CPS-lines of weapons.
