In
1998 Larami released the CPS 3000, a powerful backpacked soaking
machine,
capable of taking out a whole squad of the enemy when used
properly.
Th CPS 3200 is practically the 2nd version of the CPS 3000, in 2000
Larami
fixed the 3000's fragile backpack and changed it to a hard plastic
variant,
the CPS 3000, now 3200, now has the ability to fill the backpack via a
QFD yet it does not pressurize the firing chamber. Yet, larami
changed
the colors. The Grey and Blue of the 3000 was changed to a
horrifying
yellow and purple. Thisgun has had its pride stripped of it with
these colors. Without the proper painting a warrior using the CPS
3200 will be spotted before they can get even in proper combat
range.
The picture is of my 3200 warlord before I painted it black and turned
it into Collosus. One good thing about the 3200 is its multiple
nozzle
options, on 20mm this weapon is equivilent to an M 60, though it looks
much more like a flame thrower; a sweaping 20mm beam can take out more
then one enemy with only 1 shot from the firing chamber. On the
smallest
nozzle (5mm) the 3200 can be used as a rapid machine gun rather then
like
a flame thrower one the 20x setting, this is what I commonly did.
Pulling the trigger rapidly like a machine gun until all enemy units
were
cleared and then pumping it up again. The 5mm setting gives the
user
the ability to conserve more ammunition, yet with the 2 gallon backpack
its not likely that you'll need it, but the additionally firing time is
a plus. The 10mm bore gives you the pros of both 5mm and 20mm,
yet
it won't have the shot time of 5x, nor the impressive beam of the 20x
nozzle.
There is also the "Typhoon" nozzle, when one is confronted by multiple
enemies one has the option of using this shotgun like nozzle to take
them
all out. I did not find the "Typhoon" setting to be helpful as
much
as the others, yet in some incidents I was able to take out multiple
enemies
with it. The 3200's charging ability is not that useful either,
in
fact it takes more time to quick fill then to "tap it". One good
thing about the 3200 though is that one can pump the firing chamber to
full power, take off the backpack, and use the 3200's gun as an
extremely
useful sidearm. With the firing chamber primed you get a single
20mm
shot, 2 10mm shots, and 4 5mm shots. A 3200 w/o its backpack is a
much more effective last resort weapon then an SC 500, or XP 105, even
though you get less shots. The backpack attachment does not seem
as heavy as it actually is, the backpack puts the weight on one's whole
torso rather then one's shoulders. Overall I love the
3200, it is a great heavy cannon, and can be a MAJOR plus in urban
warfare.
Pros:
Great capacity, extreme CPS power, above average range, multiple nozzles
