One of the smallest XPs
made, the Super Soaker XP 20 provides a decent back-up weapon for any water fight. Its small
size makes the XP 20 easy to conceal or carry. As it based on the pressurized
reservoir system, it requires a little more pumping to maintain
good pressure when one's water level begins to drop, but one cannot refill the
blaster when pressurized, leaving one temporarily vulnerable when filling at an
unsafe filling station. Also, due to its design, one cannot completely empty
the water reservoir when firing. Its pump stroke is also rather small and may
feel a little awkward at times. Then again, that's the price one pays for such
a small weapon. The reservoir comes with a tethered screw-cap to prevent the
loss of the cap.
Being an XP-class weapon, the Super Soaker XP 20 still packs a good punch for its size, but
it is not recommendable be used as one's only weapon since its water supply
will not last long, even if only sniping. Best used as a last resort weapon
or during the rare indoor water war.
Pros
Small, light, easy to carry. Despite its size, it packs decent power. It also
does not take too much effort to pump up the pressure chamber. Easy to fill
with a nice, tethered cap and transparent water reservoir.
Cons
This is a rather small weapon with limited water capacity. The XP-class nozzle
is outclassed by all larger XP, SC and CPS-lines of weapons.
