Description:
The XP90:Pulse Fire, despite its size, can only be classified as a light
assault rifle. This is due to the fact that the it is based on presurized
reservoir technology. The pump seems somewhat short. The novelty of having
this weapon is its nozzle which is interchangeable between a solid and
pulsing stream. On stream, the XP90 fires like any other XP-class weapon.
On pulse, the nozzle (with enough pressure and water), toggles forwards
and backwards, resulting in a pulsing stream reducing one's water consumption.
It also sprays a little while firing, but the sprayed area is minimal.
When pulsing, the XP90 also makes sound which may be amusing, but can
quickly give away one's location if on a covert mission.
Its size and balance are nice, but its usefulness is questionable. Its
ability to fire pulses of water does help one conserve water, yet it is
peculiar why Larami Ltd. decided to put this nozzle on an old-style of
weapon as opposed to XPs with a separate pressure tank or perhaps even
a CPS-based weapon.
NOTE: Some
models of the XP90 had to be recalled due to a manufacturing defect
in the reservoir/pressure chamber. Affected models' reservoirs would
explode if over-pressurized. Be wary when pumping up this blaster.
Pros: Nice
size, light, easy to carry. Despite its size, it packs decent power. Pulsing
ability allows one to conserve water if needed or make a neat noise if
desired.
Cons: This
is a rather small weapon compared to the others out there. The XP-class
nozzle is outclassed by all of the CPS-line of weapons. Its water reservoir
is also the pressure chamber meaning one needs to pump a lot to power
up the weapon.
