Water Warriors Precharger Xenon Review

After being a bit disappointed with the Aqua-Masters precharger Krypton and it's rock-solid pump, I was a little worried that it's smaller brother the Xenon would be more of the same...thankfully this wasn't the case, and has actuallly turned out to be a really great gun.

This gun is the middle-sized blaster of the precharger line, it's overall size being between the XP 270 and XP 310. The 1.2 litre reservoir is just the right size and the Xenon is very well balanced and easy to hold one-handed.

Despite the gun's smaller size however, the stream produced is very powerful. A side-effect to this is that the stream isn’t very cohesive, especially since the nozzle is relatively small. Fortunately, the gun still gets good range so it isn’t really a problem.

Another of this gun's strong points is its very quick reload time...around 4 pumps and the pressure chamber is full. While the pressure chamber is only about 130 mls, reloading it is fast enough that this isn’t a problem at all for me.

One gripe that I have with the Xenon however is that the trigger-grip area is not very comfortable...it's quite small, and the rear facing power-meter trigger tends to dig into my hand which gets a bit sore after a while.

Overall, I really like this gun. It's powerful, light, and very easy to reload. While some may be put off by the relatively small pressure chamber, I don't see it as a problem as the gun can be pressurized in a flash. Definitely a good buy for someone looking for a powerful rifle in a small and easy to carry package.

Stats:
Capacity: Reservoir: 1.2l/Pressure Chamber: 130ml
Pumps: Pre-charge: 17/Shot: 4
Pump Volume: 32ml
Output: 65mls/second ~2.2x
Shot time: 2 seconds
Range: 10-11m
Shots Per Tank: 9

Nice job on the review! IMO, good reviews try to cover as many aspects of the blaster in detail as possible, from the raw stats to the shape, styling, ergonomics, functionality, and overall feel in your hands which you have done above. I was wondering whether you could also take and send picture(s) of your Xenon to be included alongside your review. My only little mini-critique on your review is to, well, avoid the use of the ellipsis "..." when doing a formal review. I know I tend to use "..." a lot when I post, but that's since most thread posts are semi-reflective of conversations. I pause a lot when I speak so "..." comes rather naturally. However, for more formal review writing, avoid "..."

Otherwise, I plan on grabbing this text and pushing it onto the Xenon page on iSoaker.com (with the appropriate acknowledgement, of course)!
