Unlike the standard issue firearm of the time, Super Soakers required no batteries, held a lot more water and fired a stream of water as opposed to the pulsing streams of the motorized water weaponry. Larami lowered the number of the 100 to 50 and released a larger, albeit fragile, water blaster more deserving of the stature of 100. The success of these two water blasters put Larami well ahead of the competition and allowed them to invest more R&D funds resulting in more incarnations based on the original 50 in the years following. The true Classic Series made by Larami Ltd. are based on the original designs but have some minor design changes to make the blasters a little more effective. The Classic series pays tribute to the water weaponry that began the water war evolution.
XTRA POWER
SERIES: The summer of 1993 marks the start
of the 2nd Age of Super Soaker®. The Xtra Power series boasted larger
nozzles and a more rugged design compared to the original makes. The first
XPs on the market were the XP75, XP150, XP250 and the XP300 (which was
actually a SS300 repackaged and made slightly sturdier). The XP35, XP55
and XP95 were released in 1994 bringing the total number of XPs available
to seven. These weapons provided decent power for the majority of simple
water fights, packing a good punch for their size. The larger nozzle size
on all XPs means greater soaking ability.
Max-D SERIES: In 2002, Larami Ltd. released the Max-D series. The Max-D series wa structurally similar to the previous XP series, but the major differences between the Max-D series and the XP series appears to be in the inner workings. The Max-D series' trigger system appears to be rather different than in the XP series. Triggers cause the nozzle to snap open and closed as opposed to the XP series in which nozzles can be opened at various degrees. As well, it appears that the Max-D series can be pressurized slightly higher than the XP series could. The end result is a similar-sized soaker able to produce stronger streams and fire further than their predacessors.
