Ah, if only they still sold CPS/Super Charger super soakers... then you'd realize the Tornado Strike is honestly a mediocre blaster. I still have my 2004 Helix, a predecessor to the TS, and it's pretty much the same but holds more water and has more nozzle abilities. Hasbro has butchered the Super Soaker line in comparison to the good old days.

2002 Products: CPS 2100 (36 foot range, 2L capacity), CPS 4100 (36 foot range, 2.18L capacity), Max-D 2000 (32 foot range, 325mL capacity), Max-D 3000 (32 foot range,400mL capacity), Max-D 4000 (32 foot range, 560mL capacity), Max-D 5000 (36 foot range, 1.2L capacity), Max-D 6000 (39 foot range, 1.6L capacity), Monster X (39 foot range, 3.1L capacity), Monster XL (36 foot range, 3.5L capacity), Splashfire (31 foot range, 1.05L capacity)

All the Max-D blasters used air pressure, the CPS's and Monster's used elastic pressure, Splashfire (worst blaster) used piston pressure

2011-2002 Products: Electrostorm (21 foot range, 85mL capacity), Hydro Cannon (34 foot range, 1.075L capacity), Lightningstorm (24 foot range, 1.235L capacity), Microburst (26 foot range, 77mL capacity) Point Break (26 feet, 200mL capacity), Scatter Blast (26 foot range, 700mL capacity), Thunderstorm (21 foot range, 275mL capacity), Tornado Strike (26 foot range, 350mL capacity)

The "storm" blasters used motors (worst kind of water pressure), Hydro Cannon used elastic, Point Break used air pressure, all the rest used piston pressure.

The blasters being pushed out now are nothing compared to back then. For the best modern blaster, try and find a Hydro Cannon (elastic), Arctic Shock (air). Arctic Blast (elastic) or Flash Flood (elastic).
