The Outlaw isnt a new design. In fact, this particular design has been around since 2009 (called the Equalizer then). But theres a reason for that: it works. The blaster was reviewed nearly six years ago. Its good to find that some things dont change.
Less Is More
The Outlaw is a blaster that doesn’t need any styling. The Outlaw has a small decal at its front and a name plate. It is a large reservoir that can hold a trigger, handle, pump and valve/nozzle. In a way, its attractive in its simplicity. It feels solid and is as comfortable as any Water Warriors blaster. Granted, larger hands may find the main handle (and the trigger area) slightly cramped. The pump handle will become your forward grip. Its not a bad thing, just the result of minimizing the package.
The Outlaw blaster is a pressurized blaster. Below the reservoir, the pump adds air to it (and you’ll need to ensure that the cap is tight). It has a claimed capacity of 1,361gm (1420mL), which makes it a large tank to pressurize. The nature of pressurized reservoir blasters means that the first shot only requires a few pumps but will not last very long. As the water level drops, however, youll need more pumps to once again reach the maximum pressure but subsequent shots will also last longer. This is just the nature and work of the beast.
The trigger pull is smooth and responsive, the blaster is easy to aim. Theres just no nonsense to deal with.
Performance
As mentioned above, the Water Warriors Outlaw holds approximately 1420mL.
The box claims ranges of 42. Although I was unable to reach 41, it is possible depending on variables such as the timing of the pump overpressure valve triggers. 42 is definitely doable.
As water is used up, shot times increase. It is possible to see shots for up to half an hour, provided that the shot is fired from a small stream.
Internals
If you haven’t had the chance to see a soaker in action, this one still uses a ball valve. Its not quite the Max-D valve of old, but it works more than well enough for letting the water out of the reservoir. A metal linkage runs from the top of the trigger forward to the valve.
