What new soakers have been added to your armoury in 2007? Feel free to include any stock, homemade, or newly-modded soakers to your listing!

Well, I purchased a Sneak Attack out of mistake (I thought I could use the cap for a different gun), and was kind of annoyed by the fact that they reversed the threads on the new guns. Took me about 5 minutes to figure it out. I also bought an Arctic Blast, and added a strap and PRV-removed my Flash Flood. I made the N-Rev Classical and a water cannon, and am currently working on another gun, possibly an N-Rev.

It brings my working total of guns to nine.

I have rebuilt the power of my arsenal. Much of 2006 was spent without any working k-modded guns, or any good working guns for that matter. I bought a WW Orca, my first purchase of a new gun in the year it was built since the Max-D's. That was mainly for my team's use though, as Orca range and output is on the low end for a Duxburian primary. I fixed my CPS 2500, but turned to a newly bought and modded 12K for a primary.

On the homemade front, I started a new line this year to replace the old APR's. N-Rev homemades are the only ones not named for how they are powered, for that is not relevant to their goal of practicality. The N-Rev Challenger introduced a search for better ways of integrating a reservoir on a homemade. I had to halt the construction of others due to financial restraints, but there shall be more eventually.

As for very recent additions, I have modded a new 15K [just an hour ago] and am due for a pair of 1000s in the mail.

Early in the year I got a Piranha sometime (which isn't useful now since some idiot lost the cap a while ago), then a Tiger Shark. I also finally K-modded my 1000 and 1200 due to a horrid lack of long-ranged guns.

Got an Orca, and while I'm impressed with its range, I've explained numerous times why it lacks power on larger nozzles - no flow.

I really want to build a homemade, but I haven't taken the opportunities. We've actually gone to Lowes dozens of times this year because we're renovating a bathroom for guests later, and we've relocated the grill.

I got a cps 1200 and kmodded it with 20 balloons. I love that gun now.

Earlier this year I bought 2 older soakers on clearance: XP backfire and TripleShot. When the 2007 super soakers appeared in stores I got impressed by the size and looks of the Hydroblitz and tried it, but one month later I returned it because of trigger valve problems. I bought a 100oz max infusion aquapack and modified it to work with my CPS 2000 and 1500. My Flash Flood has been improved with the addition of a high lamination nozzle selector. Last week I found 3 Big Bottle Blasters in a garage sale, which I think are rare Super Soakers (?). I've been learning and reading about homemade water guns since a few months now, I have a nearly completed homemade powerpak gun under improvements which will soon be introduced in the forums. Next will be to design and build a complete CPH. B)
