In 1996 a crack team of student escaped from a maximum security branch
of Woolworth's with an array of heavy firearms, these students then went
underground in the corridors of Rutherford, always on the run from the
porters. Eventually the temperature rose to boiling point and in the
height of summer other students from rival gangs (corridors) obtained a
dangerous level of soaker capability. The water wars broke out and the
rest is history. Today these men, still on the run, live in Canterbury,
if you have a problem and if you know where to find them then you can
hire THE W2-S CRU. Of course, regardless of if you have a problem or not,
we're still quite likely to shoot you with our super soakers.
What follows are statistics of the array of weapons used in the summer
of 1996. Accuracy ratings are marked out of five in terms of "Timo's Ears"
(see photo) with five obviously being a bit good!
