The Super Soaker XXP 175 was one of Larami Ltd.'s first attempts at making a multi-barrelled water blaster. The XXP 175 is basically two XPs slapped together with both water chambers being pressurized by the same pump. The pressure gauge on the top makes it simple to determine how much more pumping is needed before firing. However, being an old-style water reservoir, there is no separate firing chamber and it takes a fair number of pumps to get the blaster charged.

Its size and balance, though, makes the XXP 175 a nice blaster to have. The blaster is almost as wide as it is tall. Both streams fire at relatively equal strength though one stream always seems to fire a little better than the other.

Being double-barrelled, the Super Soaker XXP 175 can effectively soak any one foolish enough to oppose. Its shape also adds to its intimidation factor. However, being based on the pressurized-reservoir system, it is not recommendable to go up against any CPS-based blasters with the XXP175 alone.

Pros

Mid-sized and easy to carry. Packs decent power for its size. The tank provides a respectable amount of water considering its rate of fire. The top-mounted pressure gauge allows the user to easily determine firing chamber pressure without having to tip the blaster on its side unlike the Super Soaker XP 110.

Cons

The water reservoirs are screw-on bottles which must be fastened securely. No separate firing chamber means a lot more pumps to power up the weapon. The XP-class nozzles are outclassed by all of the CPS-line of weapons.
