Classic series had been fully phased out in 1996, the XP series had settled on the following lineup: XP 15 As a micropistol and the smallest XP soaker ever made, this was roughly equivalent to the SS 10 XP 35 As a light rifle, this arguably filled the same role as the former SS 30 XP 65 As a medium rifle, this was the effective replacement for the SS 50 XP 105 As a heavy rifle, and as the lightest one still in production with a separate pressure reservoir, this effectively replaced the SS 100 XXP 175 Featuring two tanks and two barrels, and being the second-largest blaster in the lineup, this was the successor to the SS 200 XXP 275 Despite being a single-piece blaster, this inherited many design principles from the SS 300, such as the fact that it was fired by pulling a lever on top of the barrel rather than by pulling a trigger. These were replaced every two years by successive generations of models until finally the XP series itself was replaced by the Max-D series. Super Soaker CPS series The Super Soaker CPS 2000 is a Constant Pressure System (CPS) class water gun released in 1996 by Larami. It was the first model in the CPS line, which initially included only a single blaster. While a fearsome sight, it was often acknowledged as being overpowered, depleting its pressure chamber too quickly, and needing pumping too frequently. A second version of the CPS 2000 was released shortly after, though Larami did not announce or publicly acknowledge any changes. After two years, the CPS 2000 was discontinued, and four new CPS blasters were launched: CPS 1000 The molded casing made this appear to have only a single, spherical pressure reservoir CPS 1500 The molded casing made this appear to have two spherical pressure reservoirs CPS 2500 By far the most similar in appearance to the CPS 2000, but with an adjustable nozzle for more moderate output and longer-lasting shots, this was once said by Lonnie Johnson to be his favorite Super Soaker model CPS 3000 The first backpack blaster since the SS 300, and the second one ever. After two more years, those models were replaced by the CPS 1200, 1700, 2700, and 3200. After two more years, the final CPS models were the 2100 and 4100.
