The Super Soaker CPS
2100 is the largest new soaker of 2002. While the Super Soaker CPS 4100 is a larger soaker,
that blaster is merely a Super Soaker Monster (2001) with its SC-capability removed and coloured
differently; the CPS 2100 is an original design. The blaster, itself, is
smaller than its older brethren such as the Super Soaker CPS 1000 and Super Soaker CPS 1200. Despite its
smaller stature, this blaster packs a serious punch. However, first, the structural
overview. The CPS 2100 feels rather sturdy like its CPS predacessors. The CPS
2100 is the smallest blaster using CPS-tech that features a track-guided pump.
The next-smallest CPS that has a tracked-pump is the Super Soaker CPS 2000! Tracked-pumps
are definitely more durable than the non-tracked counterparts and the CPS 2100's
pump glides quite nicely along its track.
The reservoir holds a respectable
2 L of water while the firing chamber can carry an additional 540 mL. The reservoir
is actually comprised of the entire red section visible at the back of the blaster
(including the smaller portion that peeks out between the false-yellow tubing).
The reservoir is semi-translucent and has a tethered-cap opening. The reservoir,
itself, slopes towards the pump-hole opening in the back-bottom, but due to
the reservoir's shape and placement, the loaded CPS 2100 feels well-balanced
when filling and carrying from its top handle. The trigger and grip are similar
in design to the Super Soaker Monster (2001). Some people like the cresent-shaped back part
of the grip while some find it chafing after prolonged use.
One of the most pleasing things to find with this blaster is its increased output.
After pumping up the firing chamber and squeezing the trigger, the force of
the stream is noticeably stronger than its older brethren. Of course, increased
output also means shorter shot time, thus short bursts are recommendable to
increase the time in-between refills.
Overall, the Super Soaker CPS 2100 is a welcome addition to the CPS line-up. The only real
fault with this blaster is its lack of shoulder strap. Apart from that, the
CPS 2100 has the payload and power to keep the pressure on in almost any soaker
situation. Just beware of the heavy-hitter soakers (i.e. the Super Soaker CPS 1500/1700,
Super Soaker CPS 2000, Super Soaker CPS 2500 and Super Soaker Monster X).
Pros
Small, light, but capable blaster. Out-performs similar blasters of its size!
Durable design with nice-tracked pump.
Cons
Smaller reservoir size (mainly since its a smaller blaster overall) and no shoulder
strap.

The CPS 2100 is a relatively new gun, released in 2002, and is still available in certain stores like Sports Authority. The CPS 2100 has a very compact design, a point proved when examining the internals. Additionally, some of the gimmicky ridges do contain vital tubing, a word of warning for those who aspire to add a strap. Yes, it comes with no strap, but this gun is pretty light and if you really need one, it is not too hard to add. Almost all the problems of the CPS 2100 can be fixed via modding. Especially in need of improvement is the range, which reaches 35ft at best. Some call it a good sniping blaster, but really, 35ft is hardly a sniping range. The good thing about the stock soaker is that the output is slightly higher and the shot time is a bit longer than the CPS 1200 and CPS 1000, the soakers most commonly used as benchmarks for it. The CPS 2100 does not have the best amount of shots per tank, so utilize tap shots and conserve water. The CPS 2100 is fine as a stock soaker and can hold its own against other small and medium CPS blasters, but avoid larger CPS guns unless you have advanced tactics and veteran battle experience.
There are 3 marks of CPS 2100s; they are well known and well documented, as the founders of the CPS 2100 mark system are none other than myself and Nibordude!
The CPS 2100 is a great gun with great potential!
Pros:
Very durable
Good power
Good shot time and output
Light and compact
Cons:
No strap
Range could use improvement
Fairly small reservoir

The CPS 2100, one of the newer in the CPS series is one of the best Super Soakers I have ever used. It's super power is a force to be reckonned with and the size can fool unsuspecting water warriors. The 5x nozzle, while not the most powerful can do some serious soaking and I would recommend it for one hit kills missions. It's body also makes it useful for infiltrating enemy terratory because it's not very heavy, but very powerful. The only con I can think of is the tank capacity which, due to the water output, is a minor drawback.

The CPS 2100 is the small
shotgun among Super Soakers for its shape and power. This weapon should be
absolutely the standard for every water fighter.
Everything under its performance level should not be used for a big water battle.
Its mobility and good proportional tank size makes it a Jack-of-all-trades
soaker. The gun is also as powerful and robust as the Monster X so it should
not be underestimated for having a small size. The CPS 2100 drawbacks include
the absence of a strap which makes having a side arm more difficult. You
also
have only 1 nozzle size which prevents you to go head to head against the
big
CPS cannons or Monsters. The pumping is not as smooth as other CPS
weapons, but fortunately, it will not require that many pumps. As a side arm,
I
recommend a Max-D 6000, a CPS 1000, a CPS 1500, or a Monster X if you can lift
both, or a second CPS 2100. If you plan to use 2xCPS 2100, you better
make
a home made strap or holster for both. Overall, the power, low pumps, and good
construction makes the CPS 2100 a must-have for water gun users and
collectors. If you have the chance to get one, then buy it. It will be a wise
decision.

Well this is my review
on the CPS2100. It holds a little more than a Splashzooka does: about 69 ounces.(I'm
not quite sure about these numbers but what can u do. . .) It has, as everyone
says, about three shots. NEED I REMIND YOU THAT IT HAS A VERY LARGE OUTPUT.
The shotgun like effect, though, gives it a shorter range. It would be interesting
to see how far it would go if you could stop the spreading of water somehow.
Stats: due to size(1 worst 10 best)
capacity - 9/10
balance - 8/10(could have used a strap but im sure you could make one somehow.
range - 8/10
The CPS2100 would be a
very good sniper rifle and it would be a good medium assault blaster, too. It's
a very good escort soaker, too. We had to use it for our 4th annual water fest
of east chain to guard our president.(Look for the game on iSoaker.com: Tips
and Tactics: Games: Page 3)
Overall, this blaster RULES except for the fact that it uses water at a huge
rate, but hey you can get people wetter faster!!

The CPS 2100
is a good primary blaster. Not too big and not too small, it packs a very powerful
stream with good distance. Similar to the CPS 1200 in use, but has a larger
output rated at 7x. It is very versatile and is durable. The track-pump feature
is a great improvement from the CPS 1200. This blaster lacks a shoulder strap
and cannot be tucked under the arm because the handle is farther back, toward
the tank. It runs out of water pretty quickly so be careful.
Pros: Light,
easy to handle, big output, durable.
Cons: No
shoulder strap.

I just got a new CPS 2100 from Walmart. This soaker has a lot
of power and kickback. The chamber empties pretty quickly and the reservoir
holds about 3 1/2 shots. Comfortable feel and light when full. Range is about
the same as a CPS Splashzooka due to its shotgun like qualities (stream breaks
up almost as soon as leaving the nozzle). May have to fill alot (I used up the
entire supply in about 3 minutes continous use). In my opinion, the CPS 2100
is a very good light rifle for those who can be patient and careful with the
water supply.
