The XP 90: Pulse Fire is a 1999 XP Super Soaker that holds 750mL of water. With the turn of the nozzle, the blaster would switch between normal and pulse fire modes. Pulse fire mode was essentially a precursor to fully-automatic firing. When the blaster is set to this mode, with enough water and pressure, the barrel will recoil back and forth, resulting in a pulsating stream, that actually helps reduce water consumption. It is no longer available for purchase as its home line has since been discontinued. It got average reviews when it first came out and it caused some controversy. It cost $14.99 when it came out. It is classified as an Air Blaster.
Controversy
What made the XP 90 controversial was that some models' tank would explode if the blaster was overpressured. Later on, the blaster was recalled.
Trivia
- This is known by iSoaker as XP's assault rifle because of its pulse fire feature.

| The XP 90: Pulse Fire is the light assault rifle of the XP line along with the XP 65. | ||||||||
| Ammo: | ||||||||
| Pros: Pulse fire feature, pulse fire feature helps reduce water consumption or make an amusing sound where necessary, light, good size for storage, packs decent power for its size, good range | ||||||||
Cons: Tank can explode if pumped too much, requires a lot of pumps as the tank also acts as the firing chamber, pulsing sound can give away one's location, cannot face off against CPS blasters, small nozzle limits accuracy
| ||||||||

| While a decent blaster, it cannot face off against CPS-type blasters and the noise of the pulsating barrel could give away your position. Nevertheless, this is still a fun blaster to use. | ||||||||
