The almighty CPS 3200… I was laughing my head off when I got this gun @ Metrotown, Burnaby (Vancouver), because I bought it on a band trip, and I was gonna shoot the girls in my band… But anyways, to the review.
This gun is the predecessor of the CPS 3000, and I’m glad to say that this is better in every way than it. The fast fill backpack is a must for any battle, and the bigger pressure tank is a great improvement.
The gun has the same nozzles as the CPS 3000, but the new 2000 line of Super Soakers tend to fire more water at the beginning of the shot, so it will make a loud bang and spray a bit, but it doesn’t do anything to performance. The 5x, 10x, and 20x are all useful, but the Typhoon, is kinda useless unless shooting at close range at a group of people. The gun has excellent output, just 8oz shy of the CPS 3000’s 20x nozzle. But this gun may powerize, as mine is right now. The 20x nozzle used to be 10oz/sec, but it has doubled in output in one day (I like to use my guns a lot).
The backpack, although kinda space-age and goofy looking, is a LOT more durable than the CPS 3000 backpack, and is QFD compatible, which is a major plus in a battle. Yes, you may now RUN with this backpack! I always do, and I have won in every water fight that I have been in. The weight isn’t really a problem (even though it is the heaviest overall supersoaker) because most of the weight is on the shoulders, which is all right if you can handle such weight. DO NOT use this gun if you pant and wheeze after carrying such weight on your back, or you’re dead in a water fight.
As for looks, they
may look cheesy on a picture, but when you actually see the gun, it looks
pretty kewl.
Overall, I give it 10/10. The perfect gun for someone who wants to unload a bucket of water on somebody. Plus several more.
POWER TIP: Oh yeah, if you want some fun, take a 3000 and 3200 (3000 backpack in front, 3200 in back, gun in each hand) and start kickin some butt. It works… all the time for me.
