The Super Soaker CPS 1000 is a potent,
mid-sized water blaster, providing excellent water power for its relatively
small size (especially when compared to blasters like the Super Soaker Monster XL). The general
construction of the CPS 1000 is strong, able to take a good deal of punishment
without fear of breaking the blaster. For ease of carrying and filling, the
CPS 1000 has both a shoulder strap and a built-in handle. The reservoir cap easily
screws on and off. As well, it has an attached tether/anchor to prevent its
loss. Its 5x-rated aperture unleashes a powerful, long-range stream from its
mid-sized CPS pressure chamber. Pumping up the firing chamber does take a fair
number of pumps to fill, but the blaster is operational after only a few. This,
together with its 2.3L water reservoir, makes the CPS 1000 a formidable weapon
on the water war front.
The Super Soaker CPS 1000 is a great all-purpose blaster, perfect for use as a primary blaster.
It can also be used as a "heavier"-type backup weapon if one is using
a larger CPS model as a main weapon.
Pros
Mid-sized, light, easy to carry especially thanks to its shoulder strap. For
its size, it packs excellent power and stream size. It also does not take too
much effort to pump up the firing chamber.
Cons
As with most of the CPS line, one can quickly empty the tank if being a little
overzealous with the trigger. One thing to be careful of is the pumping mechanism
which extends from the front of the blaster. This pump, though it appears to
be fairly sturdy, should not be left extended for longer periods of time to
reduce the chance of falling on it and breaking it, leaving the blaster useless.

Range (/20) score: 16
Range: 43-45 ft.
The range of the CPS 100 is around 43 feet, great against soakers that lack range, to hit them from distances they can't reach, but not good enough for sniping, which is pretty much impossible to do in water warfare anyways, but I digress…

I must say, when I was pondering my selection for first CPS soaker ever, I read that this was power in a small package. I'll admit I was skeptical about this, but when the 1000 came in the mail and I tested it… Whoa! This beast can outsoak every soaker except larger CPSs, Monsters, and homemades/modded guns.

The CPS 1000, as I said before, packs power in a small package, which is why it scores so high here, too. With such a high output, the blaster is remarkably portable, the size of an XP 110. PERFECT AMAZING

Opinion (/10) score: 9
This is a great soaker. Period.

Other (design, lack of strap, tracked pump, etc.) (/10) score: 9
The CPS 1000 has a strap, a tethered cap, a carrying handle, a simple, and an overall good, comfortable design. All it lacks is a tracked pump, and if it had one, it would be perfect.

OVERALL: 83/100
The Super Soaker CPS 1000 is perfect if you need a lot of power, and great range, but in a light and portable design. Ideal for long range shooting and medium engagements, the Super Soaker CPS 1000 makes the perfect primary or heavy backup weapon.
Positions: grunt, escort, possibly sniping, if you want
+Very powerful for it's size
+Excellent stream size and drenching power
+Excellent range for such a blast
+Light
Cons:
-Pump can break if not being careful
-Short shot time
The CPS 1000 is one of the best weapons made by Super Soaker. It is small and is a great offensive and defensive weapon at the same time. The power and stream size is great for soaking someone in one shot and would do great in a battle. When I used it in a battle it really held my enemy back. What also helps is that pumping on it is easy and fast despite the pump not being tracked. This is really the only problem that you have to be careful with on this on this gun as it will break if being used improperly. The short shot time is a bit of a con, but since it is fast and easy to pump it is not too much of a problem. If you see one of these pick it up as they are becoming rare now. Try eBay for one. I recommend this gun

The CPS 1000 is an excellent
soaker for fighters who like to move around, not just because it is small
in size and it has a strap, making it possible to
carry 2 guns with no problems, but also because it has a power which
surpasses the power of the CPS 2100 and the Monster X. The shot of the CPS
1000 is even explosive once you pull the trigger. However, one of the
drawbacks of the CPS 1000 is the shorter shot time comprared to other CPS
weapons. Also, its construction is very fragile at the pump. In the heat of
battle, pumping to wildly can cause the pump to break, so one has to keep
a
cold head while using the pump. The 5X nozzle will conserve water, but is not
able fight head on against CPS soakers with higher soakage. It is more of a
sniping, mobile, untelegraphed weapon and, used as such, will prove to be
very helpful in battle. Its mobility and power is its strength. It also has
a nice
look. The CPS 1000's shape and colour scheme makes it appear like a small CPS
2000. As a side arm, I would recommend a Max-D 6000, Max-D Secret Strike,
and a
CPS 2100. A CPS 1000 and CPS 2100 would make an excellent team. If you ever
see a CPS 1000 at your local store, buy it. It is very rare now since it has
been
discontinued for over 3 years. And even if it wasn't a rarity, it is
still a good soaker to use in battle.

This was one of my favorite
soakers. Unfortunately, the pump snapped off so it is no longer of use. It was
a great blaster. It combined light weight, a considerable amount of water, and
even a strap. The 5x nozzle is a good choice considering the size of the pressure
chamber and reservoir. The range is also respectable. Overall, this is a great
blaster: small enough for children and still satisfying for adults.
Power: 4.5/5
Weight: 5/5
Capacity: 4.5/5
Overall: 4.75/5
Pros: Good soaking to water amount ratio. Very light and also includes
a shoulder strap.
Cons: Fragile pump handle.

The CPS-1000 is an excellent
Super Soaker. It may seem small, but is indeed very powerful. This is a very
versatile water blaster.
The CPS-1000 is the smallest
blasterin the CPS line. However, appearances are sometimes deceiving. This little
blaster packs a lot of punch. When I first got it, I expected it to be another
smaller blaster. When I filled it up though, I was surprised at the power. So
was my unfortunate friend who fought me with my XP-110.
This blaster is small and
light which makes it easy to run or climb with. The shoulder strap makes it
easy to carry.
The CPS-1000 blows out
a 5x rated blast from its decent sized CPS pressure chamber. Unfortunately,
the water supply is limited which means you will be refilling a lot.
PROs: Small, light.
Shoulder strap makes it easy to carry. Excellent power for its size.
