 THE XP
75
Dimensions: 45 cm x 7.5 cm x 24.5 cm Description: One of the smallest XPs out there, the XP 75 packs a decent punch but leaves a lot to be desired. Not that the XP 75 is a poor quality water gun, but after handling the SC and CPS lines, the XP line almost seem antiquated. The XP 75 is not even one of the "true" XPs since its water reservoir is also the pressure chamber. The newer weapons have separate reservoirs and pressure chambers so that the gun can be refilled even when pressurized. This is not possible with the XP 75. The water tank size is decent for this class weapon, but the opening requires one to keep the gun upright and fairly level to keep the water flowing when the tank is low. One nice feature is that the nozzle is removeable, allowing one to unleash what many describe as a "riot blast". The riot blast in a hard to aim but wide area cover blast of water ejected from the opened nozzle of the XP 75. It will drain all pressure within the reservoir nearly immediately and range is reduced to about 2 meters, but the area effected may be worth it. To get the most out of a riot blast, the tank must be fully pressurized. 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 firing chamber and has the ability to "riot blast" one's opponents. The tank provides a respectable amount of water considering its rate of fire. Cons: This is a rather small weapon with limited range due to how it is pressurized. The XP-class nozzle is outclassed by all of the CPS-line of weapons. This weapon also has a tendency to dribble if overpressurized (a safety feature to prevent the tank from exploding or something...) The most aggravating point of the XP 75 is the way the water reservoir attaches to the gun. It is a pain to attach and remove with a good chance that the O-ring will wear out after multiple uses.
