Description: The XP 90, despite its size, can
only be classified as a light assault rifle. This is primarily due to the
fact that the XP 90 is based on the single reservoir/pressure chamber technology
which requires many pumps just to build up decent pressure.
The pump, itself, seems somewhat short. The only novelty of having
this weapon is its nozzle which is interchangeable between a solid stream
and a pulsing stream. Set on stream, the XP 90 fires like any other XP-class
weapon. Set on pulse, the nozzle (when there is enough pressure and water),
toggles forward and backwards. The end result is a pulsing stream. The
advantage to the pulse stream is that is reduces one's water consumption
since the weapon fires more slowly. It also sprays a little while firing,
but the sprayed area is minimal. When pulsing, the XP 90 also makes some
sound which may be amusing, but can quickly give away one's location if
on a covert mission.
Its size and balance are nice but its usefulness against most higher-rated
XPs, SCs and CPSs is questionable. Its ability to fire pulses of water
does help one conserve water yet it is peculiar why Larami Ltd. decided
to put this nozzle on an old-style of weapon as opposed to XPs with a separate
pressure tank or perhaps even a CPS-based weapon.
Pros: Nice size, light, easy to carry. Despite
its size, it packs decent power. Pulsing ability allows one to conserve
water if needed or make a neat noise if desired.
Cons: This is a rather small weapon compared
to the others out there. The XP-class nozzle is outclassed by all of the
CPS-line of weapons. Its water reservoir is also the pressure chamber meaning
one needs to pump a lot to power up the weapon.
