The Super Soaker CPS 2000 was a CPS class water gun released in 1996 by Larami. It was the first model in the Constant Pressure System (CPS) line, which initially included only a single blaster: the CPS 2000. Today, it is arguably the most sought-after and revered soaker by enthusiasts and members of the online community. It presently remains the most powerful stock water blaster sold in stores in terms of water output per second. The CPS 2000 has gained a reputation for its size and power, but also has become infamous as it has the alleged ability to cause physical injuries to people. The CPS 2000 has also been criticized for its small pressure chamber and reservoir capacity in relation to its water output, depleting its pressure chamber in only 1 second and only being able to fire 3-5 such shots before needing to be refilled, depending on version. It also requires roughly 30 pumps to fill the pressure chamber, again, depending on version.[1][2]

The original version of the CPS 2000 was released in spring of 1996. Being the first water gun to ever sport a Constant Pressure System (CPS), it began what many refer to as the "third age of water wars" (the first beginning upon the release of the SS 50 in 1990 and the second after the first XP blaster was released in the early nineties). The most powerful blaster of its time and still currently unmatched except by homemade water guns, it sports an estimated 25X to 30X water output (1X equals 1 oz/second).
The CPS 2000 Mk2 was a replacement to the Mk1. This version of the CPS 2000 was lighter, the Mk1 reportedly having a pressure chamber with 1/3 more capacity (1 liter) than the Mk2 (0.75 liter). Conflicting sources have reported both the Mk1 and the Mk2 having a longer shot time and range than the other.
