I found an older Water Warriors blaster while thrifting on the way home from APOC, and given the box description, I figured it would be interesting.


The main feature is the "pre-charging" of the blaster. You press the side button, pump it up a few times, and you're ready to go. Then you can fill the blaster with water, pump a couple times, and get a high-powered stream of water. On the inside is this:


It turns out that this is, in a sense, a forerunner of the pulse-style tank. Instead of having a compression spring to pressurize the water chamber, you're setting up a temporary gas spring on the back side of the piston. That provides the extra oomph to simulate the CPS system that Hasbro has control over. Granted, water shots only last few seconds. But we aren't firing water...we use stefans

That's all; this was just an informational post. Sorry if you were expecting the mother of all conversions

I see these in a place called "Party Packagers", along with lots of at1k's.

Interesting. I've found a purple one of these at Salvation Army but never bothered to open it up. Predecessor to the Pulse series, eh? So many ideas!

I scrapped one of these, the pumps are INSANE. Although they dont have a check valve, there small diameter, long and overall high pressure. Where did you get a white one?
