Description:
One of the smallest air-pressure based water blasters made, the SS30 makes
a great back-up weapon. The model reviewed is a classic series one released
in 1999. The water reservoir holds a decent amount of water for the blaster's
size. The SS30 can get one out of a sticky situation should one's main
weapon run dry. The power of the weapon is surprising despite its small
appearance.
This blaster's best use is for back-up. However, as it is based on the
original design, it does appear a little flimsier than newer lines so
a little care should be taken when using the SS30. Otherwise, it makes
a great pistol.
Pros:
Small, light, easy to carry. Rate of fire-to-water supply ratio quite
good and can last a fairly long time (though water yield is low). Packs
good power for its size.
Cons:
Relatively fragile and may leak, especially if the O-ring is damaged or
loose. Nozzle size is significantly smaller than the newer weapons. The
pumping mechanism is also somewhat fragile. (Don't force it to hard or
it will break. I know from experience.)
