XP105 Submitted Reviews Review

The XP 105 was released in 1996, the second generation of XP's. This blaster has a nice size and weight, but is fairly hard to pump if you are young or aren't strong enough. The power of the blaster is very high for an XP which often gives a sting to the receiver of the blast. Another popular method of soaking the enemy with this blaster is to remove the nozzle and fire which releases all of the water in the reservoir in a big BANG. The end result is heavy soakage. The pressure gauge is a nice feature though it may move around to a different starting point. You can also place balloons (make sure they are layered together) in the pressure reservoirs to make it like a CPS as the balloons act like the rubber bag in all CPS blasters. This gives it a definite pressure boost. The main use of the XP 105 is light-medium skirmishes. It also makes a good secondary weapon. Watch out for larger blasters as they will be a problem for this weapon (especially CPS' and Monsters). PROS:
Very high power for a water blaster it's size, nice water payload, excellent
size to weight ratio, riotblast (woo hoo!). Review by Jacob S. (Posted 2000/04/14 | Edited by iSoaker.com): My good old XP 105 is a good soaker in my opinion. I've had it for close to four years and its never broken before. It still works today. This water blaster has a good reservoir although now the XP 310 has approximately 25% more water. The only problem with the reservoir is the difficulty one has in removing it and re-attaching it. The reservoir is however a good size and fits into most house-hold kitchen sinks. Good range and firepower makes a great ally although the CPSs outclass it now. It takes very few pumps to fully charge but it is difficult to pump and has a pressure gauge to tell how much you have. Although when the pressure gauge got to the red area, it would suddenly jump to maximum at the next pump so it wasn't that accurate. It's a light-weight water blaster even fully loaded.Two pressure tanks make it good even by today's standards. Pros:
Comes equipped with two pressure tanks and only requires about five or
so pumps to fully charge. Pressure gauge available to tell how much its
pumped. Lightweight blaster even when its fully loaded. Fair amount of
water storage and has good power and range. Review by Ryan
