Description:
The XXP275 is another of Larami Ltd.'s attempts at making a double-barrelled
water weapon. Unlike the XXP175, the XXP275 was given a single water reservoir
with a cap for easier filling, a shoulder strap for easier carrying and
multiple nozzles for a more capable blaster overall. The four nozzle settings
are rated 1x, 3x, a fan sweep and a shower head-type spray. Two decent-sized
pressure chambers give power to the dual nozzles. The trigger is mounted
on the top of the blaster and looks/feels like a lever. The pressure gauge
on the top makes it simple to pump and determine how much more pumping
is needed to give a sufficient water yield.
All these characteristics makes the XXP275 a decent heavy assault rifle.
The main drawback is the fact that this is merely an XP-class weapon and
can be outgunned by basically all CPS-models. The top-mounted trigger
mechanism is more fragile than index-finger based triggers and makes it
awkward to pump and fire at the same time. Once the big-blaster in the
field, the XXP275 can be out-soaked by more compact CPS-based blasters
such as the CPS1000.
Pros: Has
a shoulder strap for easy carrying and [acks 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: Top
mounted level trigger is tricky to use, making it not possible to pump
and shoot at the same time. Pressure chambers, though about the same size
as those on the XP150, drain quickly due to the two nozzles. Not all nozzles
are useful. The XP-class nozzles are outclassed by all of the CPS-line
of weapons.
