Super Soaker CPS2000 review:
A personal favorite, the CPS2000 is the hardest firing water cannon ever designed by Larami toys. This is a must have water blaster. Prized by collectors and water warfare enthusiasts alike, the CPS2000 represents a
pinnacle in blasters to those who can handle this ferocious gigantic beast. Debuted to the public in 1996, the CPS2000 marked the beginning of the CPS age. Though a rare find today, this blaster is well worth the search if one can stumble across one today. Unfortunately, this blaster was thought to be discontinued because of safety reasons. The blaster would unleash a fast-moving steam of water that had the power to injure the unfortunate
victim if shoot above the neck.

The CPS2000 is a respectable cannon. The blaster is capable of releasing a powerful shot of water with amazing feedback and speed. This blaster is easily capable of knocking the socks off the user of any larger blaster when in capable hands. The CPS2000 can out range and out power all Super soakers to date. Despite being even more powerful than the Monsters, the CPS2000 is actually a very compact weapon for its size.

This weapon will take some getting used to if one is not familiar with using CPS size and grade weaponry. Though a very capable blaster, this weapon is limited like all others to the capabilities of its user. I personally recommend practicing using this water blaster before engaging an opponent in battle. Though as ferocious as this Super Soaker may be, someone with a weapon with less pumps, and/or greater water supply may send you running for the hills. This gun is great for support and makes others think twice before charging the nose of this blaster.

There are actually two known versions of the CPS2000. The CPS2000 Mark1 was originally released in the spring of 1996. This gun can be seen in the above picture from iSoaker.com. As seen in the picture below, the second CPS2000 variant (CPS2000 Mark2) had a shorter pressure gauge and the Super Soaker
labels where reversed. Also the forward sticker on the CPS2000 Mark1 stated "Air Pressure Super Soaker" While the newer blaster had "Constant pressure." The original blaster sports a much larger CPS chamber which could hold 1/3 more water than its new counterpart. Despite its impressive CPS tube, the CPS2000 Mark1 only had a single second shot time compared with the CPS2000 Mark2 which could shoot for more than two seconds. Now here is the best difference between the two variants of the CPS2000: The CPS2000 Mark1 could shoot 3-5 feet further than its replacement.

See: <http://www.techsoaker.com> for a comparison of the two variants of the CPS2000.

Pros: Nice size and design for its power. Good buck when firing, as well as a comfortable handle. Blaster is easy to aim and fits nicely into shoulders; has a Pressure gauge. Darker colouring scheme than most Super Soakers. Sturdy, tracked pump, good handle, and has a strap with small, strong, black clips as opposed to the common, weak, neon clips found on today's soakers.

Cons: Pump handle becomes stiff with use, heavy when full, takes some time to built up pressure. Drains its resources very quickly. Only one large nozzle to chose from means one can not conserve water on the field.

The CPS 2000 is the most powerful water weapon ever created. It can easily defeat 20x power with its enormous nozzle estimated at 30x (Which is to say, absolutly ridiculous. You gotta shoot it to see what I mean). You can feel the gun fire since it is so powerful. The blaster itself is so huge it will scare away anyone thinking of opposing you. The blaster is, in fact, more powerful than the Monster XL. If you think about it, the MXL with both barrels set to 11.5x adds up to 23x. Remember, the CPS 2000's nozzle is estimated to be around 30x.

This blaster was the first true big blaster. Until then, there were no blasters as big as these bazookas.

Just be careful that you don't shoot anyone in the face, because this blaster could do some harm and waterfights aren't meant to blind people. Also beware, firing the blaster at close range will splash back and drown you as well as the unfortunate victim you're soaking.
