The Super Soaker XP 40 provides a decent back-up for any water fight. Its small size makes the XP 40 easy to conceal and carry. Based on the pressurized reservoir system, the XP 40 requires a little more pumping to maintain good pressure when one's water level begins to drop. Also, one cannot refill the blaster when pressurized, leaving one temporarily vulnerable when filling at an unsafe filling station. The pump stroke is also rather short and may feel a little awkward when pumping. Then again, that's the price one pays for such a small weapon. The reservoir comes with a tethered screw-cap to prevent the cap's loss. |

This is a relatively nice gun. However, the tank is liable to split or develop leaks. I have yet to find a suitable replacement or hack for a split tank, but haven't tried very hard.( I rigged up a useless tank with water bottles, hot glue, and duct tape. In general, hot glue and waterproof epoxy seem to make effective sealers.)
