About my beloved SS300 Original.

I am sad to read that little is known of this magnificent piece of aquatic artillery, so I thought I'd just tell whoever reads this mail a little about the SS300.

It is quite correct that the SS300 is fragile. I've had to repair mine a few times. The trigger mechanism is especially vulnerable. Last time a repaired the trigger, I replaced most plastic parts with steel bolts and now it seems to hold. Additionally, the SS300 leaks a lot right after it has been charged.

The tank holds about eight litres (about 2 gallons) of water, but it is very, very incomfortable to wear, and impossible to run around with. It is better left a safe place for hit-and-run attacks. With a full tank, you can reload five times. Charging to maximum pressure is difficult, heavy and time-consuming. Charging is best done with the rear end of the blaster to the ground, making use of your own weight to pump. Full charge takes about one to two minutes of intensive pumping. Most of the charge is lost after 3 to 4 seconds of shooting. Two minute pumping -> 3 second shooting... These are the cons of the SS300.

Here comes the pros: The SS300 is the only water gun I have tried with a powerful recoil. The tanks on the blaster itself holds a total of 1.5 litres; the first liter goes in the first 3 seconds! The beam is about 8 mm in diameter and the water has an exit velocity of 60 km/h. In other words, a two second shot on a range under 6 meters will make anyone so wet that there would be no need for them to hide from water any more that day.

The best way to use this water artillery gun, is to pump it up and leave it hidden somewhere, and then use it for surprise attacks. When you need to recharge, get backup. You cannot recharge and defend yourself at once.
