Free-for-All

Use at your own risk/discretion. Posted 20010714 | On July 10th, 2001, I had the opportunity to go to a group picnic with people I used to work with. At any rate, it was time for their annual picnic. While working there, I had assisted them in stockpiling a decent armoury of Supersoakers. They had several CPS1000s, one CPS1200, a few SC500s and several XP110s, not to mention a bunch of little mini-soakers. However, I chose to get a little more combat training using my Monster (2001). Besides, I needed to test if the beast really performed in battle as well as I had imagined. The joy (and danger) of Free-for-Alls is that, well, you never can be sure who is targetting who. There are many alliances called between some people which all-too-quickly breakdown once someone's back is turned. Another basic fact on free-for-alls is that it is virutally impossible to remain dry, no matter how much tactical knowledge one may have. The Monster performed very well. Granted, it was outranged by the CPS1000s by a few feet, but this could be easily compensated for using good angles and a little help from the wind. It was also nice having a choice of nozzle settings on the battle field since the filling station was a good walk from the main battle-grounds and the 2.5x nozzle allowed me to keep engaging targets when others had already run dry. When full or nearly full, I typically had the Monster set at 4x, though when sniping people from behind other people (think: human shielding), I often set the Monster on 8.5x to unleash a large bolt of water at some unsuspecting individual. Even the fan spray nozzle proved useful, though only at close range (within 10 feet). Most of the time found me toggling between the 2.5x and 4x nozzle settings. Other Notes:
