The Max-D 4000 is seen as a cross between a XP-240 and an older soaker the XP-65. Or as a bigger Max-D 3000. While it’s size is fairly small it actually kicks back and has a powerful stream that stings upon impact. If the MD-4000 is a sign of more things like this then super soakers may be on a rebound. The MD-4000 represents the idea sidearm. It is small but powerful enough to get you out of a sticky situation. It’s nozzle slightly larger then the 3000 packs an enormous punch and dare I say it reminds me of an XP-105 shot. It’s stream is powerful well-defined, has excellent range and packs a sting close up. Shot times are pretty good and the Max-D system pulls through the best IMHO on smaller weaponry. However the click it gives off can get annoying or put you in a sticky situation. Its water capacity is good lasting longer then a 240 or an old school 40. However its handle is it’s main flaw and prolonged use is bound to get the most Zen like warrior aggravated eventually. Also the tilt of the reservoir and the build of the handle gives the illusion of straightness and then the water shoots out an angle. Hold it further down for a straight shot. Pumping is fast and painless and the whoopee cushion sound of the days of the 40 and 240 are gone. If you can overcome the minor irritations of the handle and angle of firing the MD-4000 has what it takes to become a soaker to be reckoned with. A 4000 user can tango with most XP’s except the high level ones and if you are quick enough it is possible to aim for the lower CPS line of blasters.
Fighting with the 4000: Use your speed and agility to your advantage. Try to dodge CPS users streams Matrix style as you can easily snag a powerful shot on the body between the cumbersome CPS users shots.
Pros: Excellent power and range in a very small package
Cons: Handle is horrible, clicking sound can give away position.
Rating:8/10
NOTE: In 2003 the Max-D 4000 got a new paint job
