Description:
The XP40 provides a decent back-up for any water fight. Its small size
makes the XP40 easy to conceal and carry. Based on the pressurized reservoir
system, the XP40 requires a little more pumping to maintain good pressure
when one's water level begins to drop. Also, one cannot refill the blaster
when pressurized, leaving one temporarily vulnerable when filling at an
unsafe filling station. The pump stroke is also rather short and may feel
a little awkward when pumping. Then again, that's the price one pays for
such a small weapon. The reservoir comes with a tethered screw-cap to
prevent the cap's loss.
Being an XP-class weapon, the XP40 still packs a good punch and will definitely
outgun most pump and shoot water blasters. However, it is not recommendable
to try and take on any higher rated XPs, CPS or SC-class weapons with
this alone.
Pros: Small,
light, easy to carry. Despite its size, it packs decent power. It also
does not take too much effort to pump up the pressure chamber. Easy to
fill with a nice, tethered cap and transparent water reservoir.
Cons: This
is a rather small weapon with limited water capacity. The XP-class nozzle
is outclassed by all of the CPS-line of weapons.
