The Super Soaker XXP 275 is another
of Larami Ltd.'s attempts at making a double-barrelled water weapon. Unlike
the Super Soaker XXP 175, the XXP 275 was given a single water reservoir with a cap for easier
filling, a shoulder strap for easier carrying and multiple nozzles for a more
capable blaster overall. The four nozzle settings are rated 1x, 3x, a fan sweep
and a shower head-type spray. Two decent-sized pressure chambers give power
to the dual nozzles. The trigger is mounted on the top of the blaster and looks/feels
like a lever. The pressure gauge on the top makes it simple to pump and determine
how much more pumping is needed to give a sufficient water yield.
All these characteristics makes the Super Soaker XXP 275 a decent heavy assault rifle. The
main drawback is the fact that this is merely an XP-class weapon and can be
outsoaked by basically all CPS-models. The top-mounted trigger mechanism is
more fragile than index-finger based triggers and makes it awkward to pump and
fire at the same time. Once the big-blaster in the field, the XXP 275 can be
out-soaked by more compact CPS-based blasters such as the Super Soaker CPS 1000.
Pros
Has
a shoulder strap for easy carrying and [acks 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
Top
mounted level trigger is tricky to use, making it not possible to pump and shoot
at the same time. Pressure chambers, though about the same size as those on
the Super Soaker XP 150, drain quickly due to the two nozzles. Not all nozzles are useful.
The XP-class nozzles are outclassed by all of the CPS-line of weapons.

The XXP 275 is a medium-large sized soaker, released 1996. Its specialties are its sokage and dual nozzle. It can go head to head against even small-medium sized CPS weapons and probbaly has the highest sokage among all Air Pressure Soakers. The XXP 275 is the Largest one piece Air Pressure sokaer and the 2nd largest overall Air Pressure Soaker after the CLASSIC 300/XP 300. These qualities make the XXP 275 the hight of air Pressure soakers and very popular among many Water Warriors and Collectors.
Strengths =
- Highest Soakage among all Air Pressure weapons up to date
- Long shot time
- Pressure gauge
- A strap, making carrying a second soaker easier
Weakneses =
- not able to shoot and pump at the same time
