One of the smallest air-pressure
based water blasters made, the Super Soaker SS 30 makes a great back-up weapon. The model
reviewed is a classic series one released in 1999. The water reservoir holds
a decent amount of water for the blaster's size. The SS 30 can get one out of
a sticky situation should one's main weapon run dry. The power of the weapon
is surprising despite its small appearance.
This Super Soaker SS 30 is best used for back-up. However, as it is based on the original
design, it does appear a little flimsier than newer lines so a little care should
be taken when using the SS 30. Otherwise, it makes a great pistol.
Pros
Small, light, easy to carry. Rate of fire-to-water supply ratio quite good and
can last a fairly long time (though water yield is low). Packs good power for
its size.
Cons
Relatively fragile and may leak, especially if the O-ring is damaged or loose.
Nozzle size is significantly smaller than the newer weapons. The pumping mechanism
is also somewhat fragile. (Don't force it to hard or it will break. I know from
experience.)
