The Super Soaker 40 was released in the year 1993, for the time it was an excellent side-arm. While more modern and compact choices exist today the SS-40 does not feel entirely antiquated. For a Classic weapon I was overall impressed. The SS-40 feels sturdy when compared to the SS-50 or the SS-100. The pump feels sturdier then most classics. When the reservoir is screwed on it doesn’t feel like the blaster will snap in half. The SS-40 is relatively undocumented in the online water blaster community; luckily your webmaster was able to acquire two in 2002. The SS-40 is powered by pressurized reservoir technology, be sure to fill the reservoir all the way to leave room for pressurization. Like most classics it has good reservoir capacity because of its small nozzle. Like all other classics I have used when fully pumped it delivers about a second of a somewhat powerful stinging blast then followed by the standard shot that lacks power but has decent range. The SS-40's range compares to its modern day descendant the XP-240 but the 240 could most likely out soak this blaster. The SS-40 while a proud weapon of the early 1990s best belongs in the collector’s room as opposed to the battlefield.
