Meeeehhh... well, I tried the Aquapack at a freind's house and I was not very impressed. The stream, even though it's more powerful, isn't really anything special. It's not even as powerful as the Triple Shot's 5x stream. Also the range is only AVERAGE. The problem with this gun is they decided it's better to have a thick stream than to have good range. The range is around 30 feet, which is not good for CPS, despite how much people rant about it.The backpack is great... to a degree. It is very comfortable and holds a lot of water but there are still some problems. First of all my freind's tube that leads to the backpack is very easily bended and sometimes has trouble drawing water. It still works but it could be better. The main problem of this gun is the laggy pump. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. Picture this: a kid standing there with a Liquidator, or something of the sort, just pumping away getting maybe one or two pumps per second. Now picture a kid holding an aquapak, glancing around fearfully to make sure no ones coming, and pumping about once every two or three seconds. You ask why he is so slow? It's not him, its his soaker. You literally have to pull out the pump and wait an entire second before pushing it back in the soaker because of how long it takes for the water to travel into the pump shaft. It is highly annoying, I assure you, and most reviews say something about the laggy pump, but what they don't tell you is after a month of frequent use, the tube will become bent up and it will become a MAJOR pain.

In my opinion the only thing these are good for are soakfests where no one is using anything better than a small CPS. The capacity is great, but try thinking how it could be used. The range is not good enough for much use, its shot time is nothing special, takes a long time to pump, and when you do run out of water it takes 2 or 3 minutes to fill! If it weren't for the range and the pump problems I would definitely buy it, but as it is, it really isn't such a great soaker. If your planning on doing long soakfests where there all no rules against soaking people who refill you could use this, but you would be much better off with a Flash Flood and a Triple Shot for the same price.
