 THE XXP
175
Dimensions: 52 cm x 17 cm x 21 cm Description: This was one of Larami Ltd's few attempts at making a double-barrelled water weapon. (I was not aware they were still making these, but I stumbled across a bunch of backstock at a local store.) The XXP 175 is basically two XPs slapped together with both water chambers being pressurized by the same pump. The pressure gauge on the top makes it simple to pump and determine how much more pumping is needed to give a sufficient water yield. However, being an old-style water reservoir, there is no separate firing chamber and it takes a fair number of pumps to get the weapon charged. Its size, though, makes the XXP 175 a nice weapon to have. The weapon is almost as wide as it is tall. Both streams fire at relatively equal strength though one stream always seems to fire a little better than the other. Being double-barrelled, the weapon is akin to a shot gun and can effectively soak any one foolish enough to oppose. Its shape also adds to its intimidation factor. The main drawback apart from the water intake is the fact that this is merely an XP-class weapon and can be outgunned by basically all CPS-models. Pros: Not too large or heavy and easy to carry. Packs decent power for its size. The tank provides a respectable amount of water considering its rate of fire. The top-mounted pressure gauge allows the user to easily determine firing chamber pressure without having to tip the gun on its side unlike the XP 110. Cons: The water reservoirs are screw-on bottles which much be fastened securely. No separate firing chamber means a lot more pumps to power up the weapon. The XP-class nozzles are outclassed by all of the CPS-line of weapons.
