Super Soaker XP 70 modification
Ok this gun is decent as a water gun...But its even better as a Nerf gun. This conversion is rather easy you will need the following tools though:
Drill or dremel
Screwdriver
E-tape/ Hot glue gun.
Ok, lets get started. Take off all the screws on the gun make sure to sort them, as some of them are different sizes. When all the screws are off, pry off the orange thing by the nozzle, and unscrew a blue piece by the pump as shown in the picture.
Now open up the gun. These are the internals:
As you can see the internals are pretty simple, putting back everything will be a snap. Ok now take off the green tank, and then take your drill and bore a hole in the nozzle. Then, glue or tape your CPVC on the end. Make sure to make the CPVC long otherwise the darts will spin out. Now put everything back on, you can discard the green tank if you want you won't need it.
There you go! Just remember when you fire it make sure to push the darts far into the barrel, otherwise they will spin out. The ranges are nice if you use good darts, I've easily shot 80+ feet with it.

I've got an XP70. I slapped a PVC coupler on it instead though. This was about ten months ago and it's now developed some kind of leak because when I put the barrel in too roughly it lets air out of the barrel.

How many pumps does it take to prime? How much do these run for?

I own one, they're pretty good supersoakers though I did have to cut the ring around the pump because it got too big.

It takes about 40 pumps to get max range. But if you pump it that much you need to stuff the dart far down the barrel otherwise it will spin out. 40 pumps will also send it through 4 sheets of paper.
How much do these run for?
I'm not sure. My Mom got two of 'em on sale.
