The Super Soaker CPS 2000
was the first CPS blaster released, once being the largest single-piece blaster
available. It is basically equalled in size with the Super Soaker CPS 2500, but is arguably
still the most powerful Super Soaker to date. The size of this weapon along
with the thick, powerful stream of water it releases from its nozzle seriously
adds to its intimidation factor. Unrivaled in terms of sheer water output, the CPS 2000 puts roughly 1L (33oz) of water anywhere within a 50' range of its user. The 3.1L water reservoir, though larger than
most water weapons, allows one just over three shots before requiring a refill. The
power of the blaster can be seen by the statistics for the blaster's output
and range. The stream released causes kickback which can be felt by the user.
The shoulder strap makes carrying this weapon a little more comfortable though
it is definitely not a weapon for the meek. Its built-in handle offers a place
to hold the blaster when refilling.
The Super Soaker CPS 2000 makes an awesome heavy cannon, perfect for larger enemy engagements.
In battle, however, it is highly adviseable to carry a side-arm that is easily
pumped since the CPS 2000 will drain its resources at an incredible rate.
Pros
A powerful, thick and sadistic water stream capable of thoroughly soaking your
opponent down to his/her undergarments in seconds. Unlike the lower-rated CPS
models, the pumping mechanism is mounted underneath the barrel, making it quite
sturdy and resistant to damage. However, do remember that this stuff is only
plastic.
Cons
Heavy. Let me rephrase that. Really heavy! This things weighs a good deal when
fully loaded. It also take many pumps (20-25) to load the firing chamber, but
only a couple of blinks to empty it. The single choice of nozzle means one cannot
choose a lower setting to conserve ammo when the reservoir is running low on
water.

The lord of water guns. I own this gun and it is unbelievable. I have the Mark 1 and it is over 12 years old and looks like I threw it off of a cliff but it still works perfectly. When filled with water this gun is heavy. I am 15 so I can can shove this gun around with out much trouble but my 7 year old neighbor can't lift it. When this gun is fired at full power the recoil is incredible for a water gun. It fires a glob of water roughly 5 inches across and 2.5 feet long out of a nozzle .5 inches widethat can hurt when hit with it from within 10 feet. I have heard that it was discontinued do to a violation of US safety laws but don't worry they are all grandfathered those that already exist. If you see one for sale buy at all costs but don't expect mine to be for sale ever.
The CPS 2000 was the first ever CPS weapon released. It brought power and range in a soaker that was never seen before which signalled the next generation of great soakers. Be careful with this gun though, rumours was that this gun was so powerful some person received a huge blast to the face that blew out an eye. Whether you believe that or not is entirely up to you.
Because of this, there were two versions of the CPS 2000 released. The second version had to be toned down. Here are the stats of the two of them. The version being reviewed is the Mk1.
CPS 2000 Mk1: The more powerful version. Has a longer pressure gauge and thicker rubber in the firing chamber than the Mk2. Shot time was supposedly a tad longer by a fraction of a second on the Mk1 than it was on the Mk2. The nozzle on the Mk1 was also bigger. The only thing was that the Mk1 was apparently less durable than the Mk2.
CPS 2000 Mk2: It had less power and a fraction less shot time than the Mk1. The nozzle wasn't as big. The rubber wasn't as thick, but not long ago a discovery was made that the Mk2 shot about 3 feet further than the Mk1. The Mk2 is also more durable and had a shorter pressure gauge.
Now, onto the Mk1 review. This has got to be my favourite soaker. Its amazing range, power and stream thickness will send you're opponent running with its high intimidation factor. A weapon to be feared. You can get someone soaked instantly with this. Just don't fire too close as its recoil will send you back and could hurt you opponent if you are not careful. It doesn't take too many pumps either which is a plus. The pump is also tracked too meaning that there is no risk of falling down and breaking it like with the non guided pumps. Its not too heavy either meaning that you can be quite mobile with it. There are, however, a few bad things about this gun. It uses up its water very quick due to the power and stream thickness with only one nozzle leaving you exposed so you would need someone to cover you while you pump it back up again. Also, the plastic around the pump feels like it may wear after a lot of pumping but again this is quite fixable. The final gripe is that the trigger feels like it may break after a certain period of time.
But, this is still my favourite gun and is a great weapon to have in your armoury. It is probably very hard to find in stores now but some people have come across them so perhaps you may get lucky and find one. If you do, pick it up. I would try eBay for one now though as it is the best place really to get one. I seriously recommend this gun.
Pros
+Very powerful
+Long Range
+Huge output
+High intimidation factor
Cons
-Only one nozzle meaning one can't conserve water when running low
-Low shot time
-Pump and trigger feel a bit flimsy

Super Soaker
CPS2000 review:
A personal favorite,
the CPS2000 is the hardest firing water cannon ever designed by Larami toys.
This is a must have water blaster. Prized by collectors and water warfare enthusiasts
alike, the CPS2000 represents a
pinnacle in blasters to those who can handle this ferocious gigantic beast.
Debuted to the public in 1996, the CPS2000 marked the beginning of the CPS age.
Though a rare find today, this blaster is well worth the search if one can stumble
across one today. Unfortunately, this blaster was thought to be discontinued
because of safety reasons. The blaster would unleash a fast-moving steam of
water that had the power to injure the unfortunate
victim if shoot above the neck.
The CPS2000 is a respectable
cannon. The blaster is capable of releasing a powerful shot of water with amazing
feedback and speed. This blaster is easily capable of knocking the socks off
the user of any larger blaster when in capable hands. The CPS2000 can out range
and out power all Super soakers to date. Despite being even more powerful than
the Monsters, the CPS2000 is actually a very compact weapon for its size.
This weapon will take some
getting used to if one is not familiar with using CPS size and grade weaponry.
Though a very capable blaster, this weapon is limited like all others to the
capabilities of its user. I personally recommend practicing using this water
blaster before engaging an opponent in battle. Though as ferocious as this Super
Soaker may be, someone with a weapon with less pumps, and/or greater water supply
may send you running for the hills. This blaster is great for support and makes
others think twice before charging the nose of this blaster.
There are actually two
known versions of the CPS2000. The CPS2000 Mark1 was originally released in
the spring of 1996. This blaster can be seen in the above picture from iSoaker.com.
As seen in the picture below, the second CPS2000 variant (CPS2000 Mark2) had
a shorter pressure gauge and the Super Soaker
labels where reversed. Also the forward sticker on the CPS2000 Mark1 stated
"Air Pressure Super Soaker" While the newer blaster had "Constant
pressure." The original blaster sports a much larger CPS chamber which
could hold 1/3 more water than its new counterpart. Despite its impressive CPS
tube, the CPS2000 Mark1 only had a single second shot time compared with the
CPS2000 Mark2 which could shoot for more than two seconds. Now here is the best
difference between the two variants of the CPS2000: The CPS2000 Mark1 could
shoot 3-5 feet further than its replacement.
Pros: Nice size
and design for its power. Good buck when firing, as well as a comfortable handle.
Blaster is easy to aim and fits nicely into shoulders; has a Pressure gauge.
Darker colouring scheme than most Super Soakers. Sturdy, tracked pump, good
handle, and has a strap with small, strong, black clips as opposed to the common,
weak, neon clips found on today's soakers.
Cons: Pump handle
becomes stiff with use, heavy when full, takes some time to built up pressure.
Drains its resources very quickly. Only one large nozzle to chose from means
one can not conserve water on the field.

The CPS 2000
is the most powerful water weapon ever created. It can easily defeat 20x power
with its enormous nozzle estimated at 30x (Which is to say, absolutly ridiculous.
You gotta shoot it to see what I mean). You can feel the gun fire since it is
so powerful. The blaster itself is so huge it will scare away anyone thinking
of opposing you. The blaster is, in fact, more powerful than the Monster XL.
If you think about it, the MXL with both barrels set to 11.5x adds up to 23x.
Remember, the CPS 2000's nozzle is estimated to be around 30x.
This blaster
was the first true big blaster. Until then, there were no blasters as big as
these bazookas.
Just be careful
that you don't shoot anyone in the face, because this blaster could do some
harm and waterfights aren't meant to blind people. Also beware, firing the blaster
at close range will splash back and drown you as well as the unfortunate victim
you're soaking.
