The Super Soaker XP 15: 2000 Edition is a reincarnation
of the Super Soaker XP 15 released back in 1998. This soaker makes for a great air-pressure-based
pocket SuperSoaker. Its styling is a distinct departure from the original
Super Soaker XP 15 design, looking more like a mini-soaker, but retaining its ability to be
used virtually anywhere. Its range and capacity are good for a blaster this
size. Its short pump does mean it requires 20 or so pumps to achieve a good
pressure level. However, pumping is quick and easy. Despite its small size,
it is actually rather easy to grip and use. The transparent reservoir allows
you to track water level easily. However, the fact it relies on an intake hose
means that not quite every drop of water can be used.
While unable to thoroughly soak an opponent, the Super Soaker XP 15: 2000 Edition is a great surprise
soak blaster for indoor water battles. Its outdoor use is more limited due to
its small water capacity and thin stream size. However, the XP 15: 2000 Edition is great
for annoying anyone from a relatively safe distance.
Pros
Pocket-sized, light weight, easy to carry, and packs decent power for its size.
It also does not take too much effort to pump up the pressure chamber. The tank
provides a respectable amount of water considering its rate of fire. The tethered
cap is a bonus.
Cons
Small blaster means very limited water supply and soak-power. Definitely not
a blaster you can use as a primary weapon during outdoor battles. The blaster
will also dribble out the body if overpumped.
