Description:
This was one of Larami Ltd.'s first attempts at making a multi-barrelled
water blaster. The XXP175 is basically two XPs slapped together with both
water chambers being pressurized by the same pump. The pressure gauge
on the top makes it simple to determine how much more pumping is needed
before firing. However, being an old-style water reservoir, there is no
separate firing chamber and it takes a fair number of pumps to get the
blaster charged.
Its size, though, makes the XXP175 a nice blaster to have. The blaster
is almost as wide as it is tall. Both streams fire at relatively equal
strength though one stream always seems to fire a little better than the
other.
Being double-barrelled, the weapon is akin to a shot gun and can effectively
soak any one foolish enough to oppose. Its shape also adds to its intimidation
factor. However, being based on the pressurized-reservoir system, it is
not recommendable to go up against any CPS-based blasters with the XXP175
alone.
Pros: Mid-sized
and easy to carry. Packs decent power for its size. The tank provides
a respectable amount of water considering its rate of fire. The top-mounted
pressure gauge allows the user to easily determine firing chamber pressure
without having to tip the gun on its side unlike the XP110.
Cons: The
water reservoirs are screw-on bottles which must be fastened securely.
No separate firing chamber means a lot more pumps to power up the weapon.
The XP-class nozzles are outclassed by all of the CPS-line of weapons.
