Water Warriors guns - Where can I find them?
Nope, no K-Mart in my area.Some Guy wrote:I've been looking for a blazer for a while too. I think that most powerful WW water guns are sold at K-mart. I forget where I heard this though, but you might want to try them. I'll double-check on that though.

That's right, I've seen a big WW gun there, must have been a Pirahna or Blazer. That was when I was new to soakers, though, and was trying to get a MXL.


But anyway, I really want a Blazer. I wonder if Walmart might have one. Haven't checked there yet...

I might, but it would probably cost more to ship than the item itslf would.XP20Warrior wrote:Would you like me to try to nab you a Blazer when they put it on the shelves down here?

Thank you, m15399. My sibling give me a hard time about just three, saying I have too many soakers. I wish there was some way to silience them!m15399 wrote:Because you can never have too many soakers! :;): You can always lend them out to people who don't have any so they can play, too!
I wish I had more...


What soakers do you have, m15399?

I'm hoping to get a Piranha or Blazer this summer.
Yeah, those guns would definitely help your armory.

Don't judge the 2000 that fast, unless you've used it.m15399 wrote:Don't trust ebay. I think if I had a choice of any soaker I would take a 1700 or a 1000. Not a big fan of the 2000. :p
The 1700 is a very good gun. It has plenty of power. The only thing I wish it had is a 3x nozzle for conservation.

The 5x is fine for conservation. You should be able to get over 10 tap shots with each full shot and the gun should last up to an hour, half an hour in heavy combat, without the need to refill. In comparison, a 2000 can yield 7 tap shots at best with each full shot, it takes a veteran user to get 7, and doesn't last nearly as long without the need to refill.

Remember, the 5x is like a 8x on the 1500/1700. It shoots for 4 seconds, though it would shoot for 6 seconds were it a true 5x. As it is, I can get 15-25 tap shots from my 1700 on the 8x.Duxburian wrote:The 5x is fine for conservation.

Sorry if this question wasn't for me, but I've been after a Blazer for a while, and since I'm in the UK, its impossible to get one. If you can get one and ship to the UK, i'll be interested in buying.XP20Warrior wrote:Would you like me to try to nab you a Blazer when they put it on the shelves down here?

Yeah, I really want a Blazer. I've heard it's as good as a CPS 1000 minus the large nozzle and plus the extra nozzle selections. And, of course, it gets great range, like 40+ feet.Wild Boys wrote:XP20Warrior wrote:Would you like me to try to nab you a Blazer when they put it on the shelves down here?

I'd disagree with that. I have a 1000, and have used a '05 Blazer quite a bit. While the Blazer is a nice gun, in terms of power and range it can't touch the 1000. I have noticed that the blazer will shoot 40 feet for about a second, then drop back to around 35 for the rest of the shot. Plus the stream just doesn't have the 'punch' of the 1000. :bm1000: Just my 2 cents.

OK, thanks for the input. Would you recomend a Blazer or a Pirahna more? The Blazer has a larger PC I know, and of course more nozzle selections.sbell25 wrote:Yeah, I really want a Blazer.

The Pirahna I think is nearly identical to the Lightning, I have the Lightning, and while its good for its shot time, multiple nozzles and feel, its range isn't very good, as again it drops off quickly. Also, it lacks power, the smaller nozzles don't have as much ooomph behind them as others. The large nozzle fires ok but again the power just can't support it, which makes it not shoot as far as others dropping off quickly. The Lightning is a good gun, but not as good as the Blazer from what I have seen from the stats.
Here are some comparisons.
Lightning: 3 Nozzles, 15oz (around about) Pressure Chamber, about 35oz reservoir, about 9-10m range which drops off quite quick.
Blazer: 5 nozzles, 25oz (around about) Pressure Chamber, about same capacity as CPS 1000, about 11-12m range, not sure how quick it drops off.
I'm still after a Blazer, which I have been since early 2005, and one day, I will get one!
Everyone who wants a Blazer I hope they get one.

Whoops. I mean 1000 vs. Blazer. My problem.

Full Comparison:
CPS1000 vs. Blazer
Compared to the CPS 1000, the Blazer has a larger PC, smaller water tank, smaller pump volume, and is heavier. The largest nozzle on the Blazer is half that of the 1000. The Blazer gets better range level, but the same angled...(wonder why?). Of course, the Blazer gets better shot time due to the larger PC and smaller nozzles, the nozzle selection is certainly an advantage.
Hmmm..., I can't decide which is better, both clearly have their advantages. Of course, that won't stop me from getting a Blazer.

Wild Boys, the Blazer and Lightning actually shoot around the same distance. I used to own a Piranha too. :;):
Hannibal, the choice is up to you. The Piranha and Blazer are pretty much identical powerwise, the Blazer just has the advantage of shot time and capacity. However I actually prefer the Piranha, as it's lighter and more comfortable to use.
EDIT: Whoops, I thought you were comparing the Blazer to the Piranha as well! Anyway, I would take the 1000 over the Blazer anyday. In my opinion it's far better.
EDIT2: Fixed post.
