Description:
The CPS2500 matches the CPS2000 in size and was Larami's replacement
to the discontinued CPS2000. The CPS2500 has three varying-sized nozzles
on the front which are selected by turning the front end clockwise or
counter-clockwise. The nozzles are rated as 5x, 10x and 20x. The 5x setting
is good for conserving water. The 10x setting is good for typical engagement
with the enemy. The 20x setting works best if one desires to seriously
drench an opponent. The 20x setting is nearly equivalent to the stream
produced by the CPS2000! Upon closer inspection, one will see that the
size of the firing chamber is significantly smaller than the CPS2000's
chamber. While lowering the amount of water that can be fired in a full
burst, it does extend the battle time this blaster has on the field. The
shoulder strap makes the CPS2500 easier to carry despite its size and
weight when fully loaded. Its built-in handle offers a comfortable place
to hold when refilling.
All in all, the CPS2500 is a great weapon for heavier engagements. It
is best, however, to carry a sidearm along with this blaster if travelling
farther from a safe source of water.
Pros:
The blaster's size definitely adds to its intimidation factor making your
opponents think twice before attacking. The three different nozzle settings
lets one choose to either seriously drench or conserve water depending
on the amount of water remaining in the tank. The pump is mounted beneath
the barrel making it quite resistant to damage.
Cons:
As with most of the CPS line, one can quickly empty the tank if being
a little overzealous with the trigger. It also takes quite awhile to pump
up the firing chamber. Though intimidating, one is more likely to be attacked
if using this as one's opponents will typically go for the larger blasters
first (unless, of course, you happen to be travelling with someone using
a blaster like a CPS3000).
