Basic OverviewWith the CPS-1700 retired in 2001, being replaced by the ridiculous 1-3-5 there is NO good medium CPS blaster anymore. While the Monster has good points and bad points, I was disappointed. After searching three stores in February 2001 I got my hands on one. The 2001 Monster goes for about $30.00. However after testing I immediately realized that A) The nozzles where very hard to adjust, B) It feels very flimsy around the pump area. C) My wrist was going to break because of the god damn dumbest handle ever devised by a human being. I was also disappointed with reservoir capacity, It hold as much as about a CPS-1200, but has a nozzle 3.5x higher! This gun has many admirable features though. It has lots of nozzles (even though perfecting alignment in a pain), rated at 2.5,4x, 8.5,and a Fan Blast. The firing chamber is fairly large and can go on firing at 2.5 x for quite a while. A great feature about this blaster is that the Monster can use a QFD to fill it very fast, it fills practically instantly! Overall truly a good CPS blaster but NOT a Monster. As the catalog suggest it's a soaker made or little kids who wants Monsters. In 2002 the Monster was released replacing this one year wonder. It was replaced by a recolored model called the CPS-4100 minus the QFD. So I guess Larami/Hasbro agrees with me on this one, the Monster 2001 is not worthy of the monsterous title.
Fighting against the MonsterYour best defense is over powering it, with a good 10x shot. The Monsters range is also a little less then normal use all this to your advantage.
Pros:Lots of nozzles,SC Capability
Cons:Flimsy Pump track,Small reservoir,hard nozzles,unbearable handle
Rating:7/10
