The Storm 750 is arguably the greatest pistol of all times.  This is one incredibly durable gun.  You can drop it on asphalt or swim underwater with it and it won't break, jam, or clog.  This gun is really durable on the inside too.  Check out the picture at the bottom of the page.  The plastic is very good quality, and the way that the trigger is set up will prevent any "locking up", that is when the trigger locks and you can't shoot, or the opposite where your gun shoots every time you pump it.
Not only is it durable, but it has range and power which equal that of most Storm rifles and XP Super Soakers.  One of my favorite things about the 750, as with most storms, is the few pumps needed to prime this sucker.  You'll be left pumping ten to twenty times or more with an XP 20 or a Max D 2000, but this gun only takes four.  That's right!  Only four pumps.  This means you're ready for action in mere seconds, and with pistols this is a must since you're going to need them to bail you out of tight spots when your primary gun runs out.  I would even dare to say that this gun could take on an XP 150 or Max D 6000 as long as you still had ammo left. 
Overall it's the 750's durability, reliability, and performance that make this pistol so ergonomical.  I do believe that it is one of the most efficient and easy to use guns out there.

Structural Review

I decided to do a structural review of this gun simply because it's just so darn sturdy.  Even on the inside.  Check it out, not an inch of space is wasted in here.  One of the best things about this gun is how the trigger is set up.  The trigger is screwed on to the gun, it's not going to snap off like the CPS 4100's is prone to doing.  Not only that, but because it is in direct contact with the trigger valve (that spring and the plastic lever behind it) the chance of trigger mishaps (such as locking, jamming, or that pernicious habit of firing when you pump) is reduced dramatically.  Super Soaker take notes!  This is actually the case in most Storm guns, but the reason why the 750 outshines the rest is because it's performance is so good for a pistol.  Also, take note of the nozzle section.  You'll see an oddly shaped plastic orange thingy inside the clear plastic cylinder that leads to the nozzle.  That's where the laser light is.  Sometimes I've wondered if you removed the plastic bulb from over the LED if the water would conduct the electricity and turn the gun into an electric ray gun!  I haven't had the guts to try it though, I don't want to mess up the gun, and it doesn't sound very safe.  Haha.  The LED itself makes the stream of water light up.  It looks really cool at night, but it's useless in battle.  Finally, the clear plastic cylinder itself serves to channel all the water together before being pushed out the tiny nozzle (1 mm) at the end of the gun.  Because of this the gun has an incredible laminar flow.  That means the stream sticks together very well.  Much better than any XP and at least as good as any Max D.


Finally, check out the pump and surrounding mechanisms.  This is a sheer piece of beauty.  Notice how I was able to connect the pump from the rest of the gun.  This is makes it sooo much easier to clean out this section of the guns internals.  This reminds me allot of the pipe work in the XP 70 and XP 110 because they were so easy to take apart and clean.  The main thing that's different about storm pumps compared to Super Soaker pumps is that on Storm pumps you're actually pumping the shaft over the rod, and not the rod into the shaft.  Technically this doesn't make the pump volume any better than most Super Soakers, but it does make the shaft have to be bigger and this in turn makes the pump volume higher than most soakers (with the exception of the XP 75, 95, 105, and 150).  The 750 lacks an extra firing chamber, so the pump is used to pump air into the reservoir instead of water.  Last of all, check out that blue thing sticking up out of the pipe work.  That is the spout that leads to the pressure release valve (Storm's version of a check valve).  It is very similar to a check valve in that it releases water out of the gun when pressures exceed a certain level, but the difference is where the water is released.  On a Super Soaker the check valve releases the excess pressure by pushing water back into the reservoir.  On a Storm the pressure release valve releases excess pressure out the blue spout you see, which ends up shooting it out the top of the gun.

Pros: Incredibly durable, great power, good range, few pumps required to pressurize

Cons: None, just remember that since this is a pistol you will run out of water fast if you use it as a main gun
