Super Soaker Mayhem

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!
