Flash Flood mod question

[SSCBen]

Removal of the screens can be good and it can be bad. The screens were added for a reason. They increase stream lamination, which in turn theoretically will increase range. A side effect is reduced water output. If you remove the stream and see no negative effects in range, the screen was doing more harm than good.

But, several years back (like 2001), a modder named xneverfacedefeatx experimented with the screens and found that, at least in the older CPS water guns, they're very important for range and lamination. Had they been removed, the stream from a modified water gun likely would have been turbulent.

What I'm essentially trying to say here is that the streams may help or may hurt and removing them is a gamble. I'd personally leave them alone because they couldn't hurt by too much by being there. Removing them can have many more problems than keeping them.

But I removed the screen and my gun works fine.

Then that's fine. Perhaps you should read my post more closely. What I was saying that it could go wrong and it could work fine. Removing the screen has more potential risks than keeping it, so you probably should leave it as it is. That was my suggestion, but if you already removed the screen(s) without any problems, removing the screen was the right thing to do.
