The Super Soaker SC Power Pak is largest
of the Super Charger backpack blasters, but requires a QFD for filling.
If a hose is not available, the SC Power Pak becomes useless. The SC Power Pak
relies on its three CPS-type water reservoirs mounted within its backpack as
both its reservoir and pressure chamber. The hand-held part has 4 weapon settings:
a 3x setting (about the same as an XP nozzle), 10x setting, sweep (fan spray
of water) and saturator (a shower head). This weapon is only categorized as
a medium field blaster since its largest nozzle is rated at 10x. The 3x setting
is great for conserving water while 10x gives one's enemies a good soaking.
The sweep has some potential use for blinding or area cover. The saturator is
only useful when up-close and personal with the enemy since its range is very
limited. The backpack feels sturdy and is comfortable even when running. The
small blaster at the end of the hose actually gives a little kickback when firing
since its so light.
The Super Soaker SC Power Pak is useful for base defense and can be used for long-distance missions.
However, when travelling far from a SC-filling station, bring along a sidearm.
For the more zealous water warriors, dual SC Power Paks (one on the front, one
on the back) can make a deadly soaker combination so long as a QFD is around.
Pros
Heavy hitting, no pumping, mid-weight, quick firing weapon that is easy to carry.
It packs good power and does not take too long to refill at the appropriate
SC-filling station. By being just a big pressure tank, the Super Soaker SC Power Pak can continually
fire while others must pump.
Cons
No pumping comes at a price in that this weapon MUST be filled at a SC-filling
station. No hose and hose adapter, no water. Only two of the four nozzles are
useful for true combat. Also, one should be careful with the hose, blaster and
adapter. Any break in the seals will result in water spraying out continuously
until the blaster is empty.
