Title: SuperSoaker Help Post by: nerfingnoob on July 12, 2007, 12:17:28 pm If you saw my mini-posts in the chat box then you probably already know whats going on. Heres the picture of my gun that I am modifying.
(http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u162/Nerfingnoob/xp270_1.jpg) All I did was saw the tip of the nozzle off so more air can come out, and it seems to work. I plugged the hole where the water used to flow into. It gets better range with it plugged (seems so). I have a PVC/CPVC coupler on the nozzle that fits very snug on the front. The problem I have is that I need to pump it 20-30 times to get decent ranges (60+feet basement is to short to measure for sure.). Also, if it doesn't have enough pressure I hear a loud hissing sound and air is leaking out. Anyone have any idea whats it wrong? If not, it works good and I can pump it 25 times in about 10 seconds.

I can't see how you can change this much either, unless you can create a better valve system.
If I had pics of the internels I might be able to help more. Title: Re: SuperSoaker Help Post by: nerfingnoob on July 13, 2007, 06:48:03 am I am in Ohio right now so I don't have any pictures. I think the valve releasing thing works perfectly fine. it shoots the air out in one blast instead of a stream. I think i will give it to my brother because it is very easy to pump and light. if I get it to work i think i will keep it. sorry if my capital letters are off, the computer in Ohio has no shift key, its broken.
