Classification: CPS | Type: MEDIUM FIELD GUN/ LIGHT CANNON

Description: The CPS1500 is the larger brother of the CPS1000. While slightly larger than the CPS1000, the CPS1500 provides greater water power. At its front, there is a switch to toggle the nozzle size from 5x to 10x. In battle, the larger setting yields a thicker stream of water for use in quick victim water saturation while the smaller aperture can be used to extend the firing time of the blaster. Though the CPS1500 has a 3.0L water reservoir, its maximum rate of fire can easily drain its resources. The shoulder strap allows one to carry this weapon even when climbing or if using another water weapon while its built-in handle facilitates refilling.
The CPS1500 is a great all-purpose blaster, perfect for any size enemy engagement. The CPS 1500 can outclass any XP or XXP weapon in terms of firepower. Its size-to-power ratio makes it one of my favourite general- purpose water blasters (I now own 2 of these just because...)

Pros: Mid-sized, light, and easy to carry thanks to its shoulder strap. Despite its size, it packs good power and stream size. It also does not take too much effort to pump up the firing chamber. The two nozzle settings also allows one to be a little more thrifty with one's water usage or more sadistic with drenching your foes.

Cons: Like the CPS1000, this weapon can quickly drain is resources if the user is too trigger-happy. One should also take care not to run or fall with the pumping mechanism extended as this appears to be the most fragile part of this otherwise well-built blaster. The pump may break if not treated with proper respect.

Review By Tiger Claw (Edited by iSoaker.com)

This review will be short and sweet so I will not deluge into the nozzle details. This blaster has good range as I have tested it in a recent band trip. Although the small reservoir will be sucked dry in about 3 full shots, it can still pack a punch. Power is great, no hassle with the nozzles, and I was maneouverable enough to run with it. A con is it has a rather fragile pump handle, although it has not broken on me, yet. The CPS1500 is a very well rounded gun and should be included in anyone's arsenal.

Pros: Light enough to run with, heavy enough to soak with. Good range on both nozzles.

Cons: Small water tank, fragile pump handle, and may not be able to compete with anything like the CPS 3000 or above.
