How is the x system mesured? Is there a formula or something?

I think it has something to do with the nozzle's width in milimeter's.

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that not it. Here's an example. isoaker.com gives the flash flood a 12x rating and he gives the cps 2000 a 20x rating even though the cps 2000's nozzel is smaller then the flash flood's.

It's all about output my firend.

Nozzle size has nothing to do with x rating! This has been explained before in several topics on multiple forums, doesn't anyone bother searching first?
1x = ~30mL of output/second.
The Flash Flood has a larger nozzle, but the 2000 has much higher output.

For iSoaker.com, the 'x' rating, as Dux noted, is based on output (1x = ~1oz/sec = ~30mL/sec).
However, for the original Super Soaker ratings, the 'x' system was actually loosely based on approximate nozzle diameter. Output just happened to be similarly increase for soakers with larger nozzles, but as later soaker generations showed, large nozzles don't always add up to increased output.
