Performance Overview.
Aye Carumba! Who need's
to conserve water with this thing? I was playing with it for half an hour
before it ran dry. Power is excellent while the pumping is below satisfactory.
Typhoon has little use, but could be used at close range effectively, or
in any situation where a wide spreading nozzle is useful. 20x is as bad
as the 2500's but worse, it lasts longer. This is a gun to use when someone
MUST pay... :P (And you're too tired to whip out the MonsterXL)
Structural Overview.
The gun has standard CPS
plastic components, so it is as prone to breakage as the rest of them.
The backpack feels sturdy
but a little thin, so I wouldn't want to trip and fall on it. The Backpack
is good that it takes the weight out of your hands and to a place that
can take it, but the straps on the pack, the same kind used for shoulder
straps found on the other CPSs, are a little rough and chafe a little.
This gun could take a beating, but I wouldn't want to push it too far.
The Backpack, due to it's shape, doesn't make the best of use of the water,
when it gets down low, there is Approx. 325mL - 11oz of water that gets
wasted in the bottom.
The Gun is Light, and stays
light even when full, there's hardly any real use for the strap on the
gun if your a big person. The real advantage of the gun taking water in
from a pack is that it doesn't matter which position you have the gun itself
in, it'll smoothly take in water from the reservoir backpack and not air
(unless the pack is empty).
Basic Overview.
This gun is great. But it
has it's drawbacks. The Pack isn't too bad, but it takes a long time to
fill the backpack unless you use a Fast Fill device. Also, if you fill
the pack with a hose and not the QFD, wipe off any overflow, or you'll
get it on yourself. Water can be cold.. :P
Anyway, this is the gun
for the extreme enthusiast, if you're big on Soaking, this is for you.
You might even find this a better gun to use than the MonsterXL... I did!
:P
