In the 23 years since the super soaker came out hundreds of water guns have been released here are my top 10.

10. Super Soaker XP 150
One of the most Iconic water guns of the early 90’s, the XP 150 was a vast improvement from the super soaker 100 A lightweight, powerful, and fast pumping water gun. The 150 is truly great.

9. Water Warriors Gorgon
The newest water gun on this list the gorgon was made in 2011 and has become known as a CPS killer, The gorgon first came to notary at Hydropocalypse 2012 where it preformed admirably against such blasters as the Super Soaker CPS 2000, and later at “Duelfest Tournament” put a beat down on everything non CPS, not losing a single round.

8. Super Soaker CPS 1200
Known as the “average” water gun of the early 2000s the CPS 1200 is loved by enthusiasts and arguably the most popular of all CPS class water guns. While not as powerful as the CPS 2000 It seems to see just as much use if not more so. Cheap and plenteous even 13 years after first hitting store shelves the 1200 is a great starter for those just getting started with water warfare.

7. Super Soaker Monster XL
The largest non backpack water gun ever made the Monster XL is great for dishing out punishment in soakfests, out-ranged by all other CPS powered water guns and more cumbersome by far, the Monster XL makes up for this by being able to completely soak a victim in just one hit, being almost unbreakable, and lasting hours between refills.

6.Super Soaker CPS 3000/3200
One of the few CPS blasters where conservation isn’t needed, with a masive 2.4 gallon capacity the 3200 just keeps shooting for hours despite a trigger happy user. The 3200 gains field life at the cost of mobility, at 25lbs full you won’t be outrunning many people when using this, so it’s best used in a more stationary battle

5. Super Soaker CPS 2000
The most powerful of all stock water guns, the CPS 2000 can cause almost as much soakage as a Monster XL, shoots a full 15-17′ further and weighs only half as much. Durable and Powerful this weapon can strike fear into the minds of your foes. But at a great cost running on between $130-200 typically and draining a full 1 gallon tank in just 22 0.25 second shots.

3. Super Soaker 300
Weighing just a tad more than the 3200, but with 10′ better range the 300 makes a better primary, countering its poor mobility with a larger pump and range superior to all other stock blasters (55′) this weapon is thus less vulnerable to rushes than the 3200 and safer to move around the battlefield with as only the 2000 and some 2500s can rival it for range.

2. Super Soaker CPS 2700
Easier to find and use than the 300, the CPS 2700 still can last hours even in trigger happy hands while weighing much less, thanks to a small 2.5x nozzle on the selector. Still packing a deadly 10x setting for when someone gets on your nerves.

1. Super Soaker CPS 2500
At first glance this weapon looks almost exactly like a CPS 2000, in fact most of the internals/externals are the same, but the 2500 has a nozzle selector that lets you pick your combination of field life, and soak-age nearly quadrupling the number of shots per tank that you can get. Compare the 22 shots on the 2000 to the 82 on the 2500 with just a tad less soak-age on the largest setting and you get a blaster that’s much better rounded.
