Description:
The statistics are estimated, but have not been actually measured since
this blaster still resides in its original box.
To celebrate the dawning of the new age of water warfare, the original
series SS50 was repackaged, coloured silver and sold in a plastic-sealed
box: a "MUST-COLLECT" for any water-weapon enthusiast. By current standards,
the SS50 poses little threat. It does not have a separate pressure chamber
and does not hold much water, relatively speaking, but its water use-to-supply
ratio is excellent. The pumping mechanism is rather fragile but the SS50
still reigned supreme in the time of primarily pump-action and battery-powered
water guns.
This version is really not meant for use in the field, but meant for keeping
as a reminder of days gone by.
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). This
is one of the weapons which helped change water war forever.
Cons:
Fragile, has a tendency to leak, especially if the O-ring is damaged or
loose. Nozzle size is significantly smaller than the newer weapons and
range is more limited. The pumping mechanism is also somewhat fragile.
(Don't force it to hard or it will break. I know from experience.)
