Speedloader Crossfire (?) Knockoff
Looks like no one's safe from the cheapo ripoffs.

How can it be "tested" if it's in it original packaging?

Post by **Soakologist** » Fri Aug 20, 2004 9:21 pm

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe they assume that if its in the package that it'll work.

I think that you don't actulally get what's in the picture. You just get the same item.

Well of course. It's a big company, they don't have time to take each gun's picture individually,

I can test some soakers while not having to remove them from their original packaging. The particular soaker shown can be filled at the top (or side if you prefer) of the cardboard backing then both triggers can be pulled to see if it shoots. By the looks of that one which I've seen in stores, it is a modified dime-store squirt piston with a fancy case, but only trigger-based pump action squirt shots.

Disgraceful! Knocking off a venerable Speed Loader to make some dime-store piece of junk....

Of course, I'm a huge Speed Loader fan, so I might take a different view of it than most.

i never really liked speed loaders anyways... lanard makes 'em, right? no offence, but the only blasters i really respect are super soakers, storm, and water warriors. anything else is crap from my point of view.

YES! Entertainment made Speedloaders. They were better than most Super Soakers and all Water Warriors and Storms. The standard nozzle size was about 5x, they were QFD only, and the Powersurge 2500 could give a CPS 2500 a run for its money. Great guns, too bad they're gone.

I never realized that SpeedLoaders were that powerful. All I knew about them came from the old Hydrowar site and I merely guessed that they were as powerful as mid-sized SC soakers.
