Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Alright, since I feel like there has been much confusion about the newer soakers, (2002 through 2006), I thought I would clear everything up, since I am a veteran of the soaker world and have some 50 soakers of all types. Super Soaker was bought by Hasbro, and since then, the guns have slowly declined in power, and have started using gimmics. Guns of the past reached 45 feet and up in range, but now hitting 35 feet is supposed to be awesome. Soakers of the past didn't need gimmics, because of their superiority to everything else. Now, those are the only things soakers have left.
I can't say these kids posting reviews are being dumb, because they aren't. They most likely have never even seen older soakers, let alone use them, so they don't know what they are missing out on. I was around then, so I know how to post a credible review. Now, onto this years soakers, and their flaws.
Max-Infusion Flash Flood: It doesn't get much range (30-35ft), and has a weak main nozzle that rivals the original ancient Super Soakers. The "Flash Flood" nozzle isn't a thick drenching stream, but more like that weak nozzle on a hose that no sane person would use, as it is neither accurate, nor able to saturate anything. The triggers also break a lot since Hasbro decided to use a new "Max-Distance" style trigger.
Max-Infusion Defender: The best gun this year, it is tough, and ready. It gets the best range (~35 feet) but has a rather small nozzle. The awkward trigger and grip actually feel really good to ones hand.
Max-Infusion Overload: It has a slightly larger Max-Infusion pack, but it still holds only a little water. Compared to the guns of today, it doesn't even hold much. The gun is a pistol, so it runs out of pressure fast, and it becomes rather annoying pumping the pump as it uses really short strokes. Range is okay. (30-35 feet)
Max-Infusion Arctic Shock: It gets low range (30ft), holds little water, and the cold shots are never very cold unless you let the ice pack sit in the gun for a long time. Even then, it doesn't do much, and you can get colder water by merely putting ice cube in your gun if you havn't figured it out already.
Helix: It uses a piston (like a pump) to push water out. It gets varied range, from weak (25ft) to sad (30ft), depending on your strength, and even then you can't aim the dual streams. This gun serves no other purpose in battle other than making people laugh at you, where you should then whip out your older soaker and drench them.
Vaporizer: Like the Heliz, but has one stream. It can get 40 feet worth of range if you really try, and is a great backup if you don't already have one.
Liquidator: Holds barely any water, but gets decent distance (35ft). It's pump is a little short, and the stream isn't very potent, but it fills the role of the pistol well.
Oozinator: Actually gets decent range, but looks funky. The ooze is weird and pricey, so only get it as a gift for a little kid, because it is just about useless.
All in all, the only good guns are the Defender and the Vaporizer. I would only reccomend those two, and only for someone that doesn't already have a good soaker already. I hope this thorough review solves any questions you had about Super Soaker.
