Interested in both of them, also I am new here. I am very honored to be here.

Welcome to WWN!

The CPS 2000 mk1 has a longer range as far as I'm aware, but the Spyra is no slouch in terms of power and has a respectable range. If you can only pick one, your decision should probably focus more on availability (older blasters like the CPS 2000 mk1 are becoming harder to find) or operation (Spyra's blasters are battery powered, which you may not like). Spyra's blasters also seem more durable based on my handling of a Spyra 1. Another factor is that a lot of the CPS 2000s available require repair. I've seen a lot of CPS 2000s with burst bladders, for instance. You can replace the bladder with latex tubing. I would not be surprised if a new bladder outperformed the old worn-out bladders of most functioning CPS 2000 mk1s.

(Full disclosure: I've done some consulting for Spyra, but these views are my own.)

Hi! Thanks for the reply. For example if I brought a Cps 2000 mk1 what are the requirements to take of it very well? I try my best to take care a item. Do you have any statics on these2 guns?

iSoaker has a guide on the care of water blasters: http://www.isoaker.com/Tech/cleaning.php

As for statistics, I haven't seen any independent statistics for Spyra's blasters but you may find some by searching online.

iSoaker has statistics for the CPS 2000: http://www.isoaker.com/Armoury/Analysis ... ps2000.php

Thanks for the link, Although I have seen all of them it helps to see a refresher!

Without question the CPS 2000 Mk1 and Mk2 are more powerful than either the Spyra 1 or 2. The Spyras while not being as powerful last a about the same amount of time due to it shooting super short bursts and being much lighter are easier to maneuver. Reliability wise I would still pick a CPS 2000 over the Spyra. Spyras' weak point is the bladder which sometimes pop within the first year of use after which the only way to fix it is to depend on Spyra to send you a new one. Whereas the CPS 2000 can be fixed by you through ordering LRT. Neither is great for a prolonged slugfest. The Spyra has a small bladder where all its water is stored and each blast from the 2000 shoots a ton of water. If I were to own a single powerful blaster I would choose a CPS 2500 since it's a CPS 2000 with 3 nozzles of varying sizes giving you more flexibility. Or I would make a homemade water gun using latex rubber tubing or an accumulator tank as a pressure chamber.

Interesting, Im looking in terms of fun id say, because i aleeady have a 1500 and a 2700, isn't there a issue where the nozzle changers for the 2500 break easily as well? Ive heard of it before not sure if its 100% true.

CPS 2500 nozzle selectors don't "break" so much as they tend to just spring a leak, sometimes quite a considerable leak from the bottom. Changing the screw or O-ring can potentially stop or reduce leaking. Some 2500s won't develop that issue.
