I should have reviewed this gun a long time ago. I think it's the best pistol ever. Maybe I did but lost the files on my old computer, nonetheless I have just completed a new quite in depth review of this sucker. Check out the tech aspects too. I have two internal shots and comments about how the gun works. Tell me what you think.

Good review! Nice pics!

You've got a few spelling mistakes in it, but overall, nicely written. I'm still not 100% sure, though, about your choice to use 'ergonomical' in one of your sentences. As well, I can't agree with any gun without 'cons'. There are limitations to everything. For the Storm 750, at the very least, it probably has much more limited capacity being pistol-sized.

All-in-all, though, good job! I'd like to see more reviews from you when you've got the time/energy.

I dig it. Always liked Hydrowar and the reviews you did. Your review did the Storm 750 justice, that's a great little gun.

Glad to see the Tribulation mod is up - I've been wondering, for what seems like ages, what else was done to it.

Doesn't ergonomical mean quick and easy to use? Efficient? I fixed the spelling errors, and cons means for its use. I agree every gun has cons, there is no one perfect gun, but there can be a gun that's pretty close to perfect for its recomended use. I think the Storm 750 is pretty darn close.

ergonomical mean quick and easy to use
I usually associate ergonomics with human factors, not just ease of use, but more along the design.

From Dictionary.com
er·go·nom·ics (n) (used with a sing. verb) The applied science of equipment design, as for the workplace, intended to maximize productivity by reducing operator fatigue and discomfort. Also called biotechnology, human engineering, human factors engineering.
(used with a pl. verb) Design factors, as for the workplace, intended to maximize productivity by minimizing operator fatigue and discomfort: The ergonomics of the new office were felt to be optimal.


Your use pseudo-works in my head, but not the usual phrasing/descriptions I've usually seen associated with ergonomics.

As for Cons, with your explanation, makes sense why you feel that there's none.

I have used a 750 and i actually liked it better than the 800 i had because it was silghtly easier to pump (because you could hold onto the pump easier). It makes a good light rifle but it's not a pistol.



EDIT:
I class blasters into 3 main categories (pistols rifles cannons) and 7 sub catgories here are my classifications.

My classifications are based on size weight and output and i give exeamples of each type of blaster.

Pistols: xp20 xp240 max-d 2000

Light rifles: xp70 xp90 max-d 5000

Medium rifles: xp150 xp310 xxp175

Heavy rifles: flashflood,arcticshock,splashzooka

Light cannons: cps1000,cps1200,cps2100

Medium cannons: cps1700,cps4100,scpowerpack

Heavy cannons: cps2500,cps3200,monster XL
