The Monster


Review by Joe P.(Edited by iSoaker.com):  
Series: Monster

The Monster™ is an excellent heavy cannon that not only boasts power, but also strikes fear into others on the battlefield. It is a hybrid blaster which combines the features of C.P.S.™ and SuperCharger™ technology.

Featuring 6 nozzles, it can serve a variety of needs from heavy support to sniper roles. There are three nozzles and three spray nozzles located on one turret. The 3 nozzle sizes are 5x, 8.5x, and 11.5x the water output for an XP70. The spray nozzles are as follows: Aqua Storm, Power Burst, and Typhoon.

  • The 5x nozzle has an output of 217mL/sec (equivalent to 7.33764 US ounces). The 5x nozzle has a range of 29´ when held level and 35´ when held at a 45º for 2.5 seconds.
  • The 8.5x nozzle can deliver up to 335mL/sec (11.3277 Ounces) for 1.7 seconds. Along with this high output the 8.5x nozzle delivers the best range. When held level it has a range of 28´ 9" and an outstanding 39´ 9" when held at 45º.
  • The 11.5x nozzle pumps out 420mL/sec (14.2019 Ounces) for 1.3 seconds. The 11.5x nozzle has a range of about 23´ 4" when held level and 29´ 8" when held at 45º.
  • The AquaStorm nozzle is roughly 25x the output of an XP70. 16 little nozzles scatter out water at a rate of 409mL/sec (13.8301829 Ounces) for 1.3 seconds. This has an OK range of 23´ 8" when held level and 30´ 8" when held at 45º.
  • The PowerBurst expels 300mL/sec (10.1443885 Ounces) for 1.3 seconds through 4 slits. The PowerBurst has a pretty good range of 28´ 6" when held level and 36´ 4" at 45º.
  • Last but not least is the good ‘ole Typhoon nozzle. Commonly seen on the CPS3000 and the CPS3200 as a 3-holed nozzle that expels a 5x stream through each. Well its back and better than ever with 6 holes that launch 415mL/sec (14.0330707 Ounces) of H20 for 1.3 seconds. The Typhoon nozzle has a short range of 23´ level and 29´ when held at 45º.

The Monster has one weak spot: a very small pressure tank. Weighing in at only 550mL (18.5980455 Ounces), capacity shot times are very short. This means that a skilled Super Soaker Warrior be behind this behemoth. Speaking of size, the Monster™ is 39cm long. That’s over 3 feet (36.6 inches)! Empty, it weighs 2.74kG (6 pounds), but full, it weighs 6.36962kG(14.03 pounds)! This isn’t as bad as it seems because it is an extremely well balanced blaster. This reduces the deadweight on your shoulder. My 1000 feels heavier than the Monster simply due it being imbalanced. This blaster has a bit of a learning curve to get used to but once mastered, you simply become unstoppable. This is not a weapon that should be used by snipers. Although this contradicts to what I said earlier, it is true. If in a battle and a sniper-type situation develops, then it would be OK for use. On the other hand, its large size makes it a terrible sniper weapon. Being so big can easily give away your position and it will slow down your running if need be. Your best bet would be to use this blaster as a stationary base guard or a bomber. ...or if your up to heavy assault. The supercharge ability comes in handy while in battle IF you're close to a hose. If you're playing in the woods then carry two gallons on your back. You’ll need it. Although the 120oz tank may be appealing to the buyer, they may suddenly find themselves short of water in a fight. With this blaster you should carry a CPS 1000 or some powerful XP that can get your butt in and out safely. Make sure your shot is right on. Remember, ammo is scarce. Hope you like my review.

Review by Seib-Five.(Edited by iSoaker.com):  
Series: Monster
Specification:

Depending on the steepness of a particular hill or valley, they can be used as snipering locations. Of course, more likely than not, snipering in open fields is not an option so do not be too discouraged if no spots can be found.

USE COVER
Of course, not all fields are simply just nothing but grass. There can, at times, be bushes, shrubs, small clumps of trees, small buildings, etc. which lie within the battle ground's designated area. These areas of cover can provide the protection one needs when engaging a hostile with a more powerful weapon or give one an opportunity to soak without fear of direct return fire. Either way, some cover is better than no cover.

The main problem with field cover is that they tend to lie in isolated areas of the field open from all sides. As such, hostiles can also approach the spot from all sides making these places more difficult to hold on to without getting soaked in the process. As much as one may like one's spot, if one is being approached by a greater number of hostiles, it is often a better idea to get out and moving than end up trapped in one's own hiding spot making for an easy target.

INTRODUCTION | ASPHALT/CEMENT

nozzle in the correct position or else water sprays everywhere. The blaster is long and hard to be stealthy with. The pressure tank is small. Being a big, intimidating blaster, people will go after you first unless someone nearby has a CPS 3000, CPS 3200, or a MXL. I also have to tell you about the nozzles. There are 6 nozzles, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

5x: Pros: longest shot time, best range. Cons: Lowest water deliverance, doesn't spread far.
8.5x: Pros: All rounder in most categories. Cons: Lower shot time and range than the 5x, doesn't spread far.
11.5x: Pros: High output, decent range. Cons: Not so good of a shot time, doesn't spread far.
Typhoon Blast: Pros: 6-way horizontal spread, decent range, somewhat high output. Cons: Bad shot time, up to 3 will hit an enemy at once.
Power Burst: Pros: Equivalent to 18x! Good range, High output, slight spread. Cons: Bad shot time
Aqua Storm: Pros: Equivalent to 25x! Very High output, good spread in all directions. Cons: Bad shot time, bad range. Hope you like my review, I'm out of here! (Posted 2000/04/13)
