Performance Review
I love using the XP 20 as a side arm or last resort weapon, it can also
prove a fun gun to use in squirt fests, pistol fights, and indoor
battles. Back in 1998 the XP 20 was arguably the best pistol you
could buy. As I write this, in 2011, the XP 20's performance is
average in comparison to other pistols out there. The newer Max D
pistols do shoot further, but are uncomfortable to use for anyone over
the age of 9. The Storm 750 takes
fewer pumps and has a sleaker design, but is also larger. Most
recently, the Water Warriors Goblin,
ironically made by the same Larami engineers that desiged the Super
Soaker XP 20, offers greater range and the ability to connect up to a
hose for infinite supply.
Even so, after 13 years, the XP 20 is still a good, fun, reliable
pistol to use. It was rereleased in 2001 in a double pack, and
might have been rereleased another year as well. You can often
find these on ebay.
Structural
Review
The XP 20 is a very sturdy pistol. Unlike Max Ds which use ball
valves, the XP 20 uses a pull valve to fire the weapon. Pull
valves, while not generally shooting as far, do, on average, tend to
last longer than ball valves. 
The 98 version sports a
transparent yellow tank that allows you
to check your ammo levels. The 2001 version (seen in the main
pic),
featured an opaque reservoir. The opaque reservoir is a little
stronger than the see through tank of the '98 model. Other than
that, performance is identicall.
Pros:
small size, high durability
Cons:
low range, low output vs larger weapons
