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

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 short and may feel a little awkward when pumping. Then again, that's the price one pays for such a small weapon.

Being an XP-class weapon, the XP 40 still packs a good punch and will definitely outgun most pump and shoot water guns, but it is not recommendable to try and take on any higher rated XPs, CPS or SC-class weapons with this alone.

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 of the CPS-line of weapons.
