Super Soaker CPS 2500





The Super Soaker CPS 2500 is a type of water gun that was used by Nick, Hank, Monroe, and Rosalee to safely apply a unique flame retardant solution on a woged Damien Barso, who was an Excandesco. It was not known until after the solution was applied that it is lethal to Excandescos; because it prevents them from releasing their energy, it is turned inwards, causing them to explode.

What makes this brand of a particularly useful vehicle for the flame retardant solution against Excandescos is the Constant Pressure System (CPS), the most powerful system used by Super Soaker, which allows the user of this weapon to stand a safe distance away from Excandescos while the CPS 2500 shoots an accurate, constant stream.

== Description ==

The CPS 2500 has a strap that can be worn on the arm holding to gun to help support its weight, and the pump on the gun is used to pump a liquid contained in the reservoir into a rubber bladder. This weapon is Nick’s go-to weapon for shooting flame retardant solution at Excandescos.

The flame retardant solution prevents Excandescos from igniting, not by preventing them from producing white phosphorus, but by topically suppressing access to oxygen in the air that they require for the phosphorus to ignite. The solution is not flammable, can’t be wiped off, and does not evaporate in high heat. It is composed of licorice root, beeswax, witch-hazel, and jojoba. The licorice root must first be crushed up and once mixed with the other ingredients, is heated up until it liquefies.

========

Nick got Peter Orson out of prison temporarily in order for him to help out finding an arsonist that he had long been tracking when he was with the Portland Police Department. Orson told Nick, Hank, and Renard that the arsonist is a Wesen. After Nick looked up the Wesen they are looking for in the trailer, Nick informed Orson about Excandescos, who came to the conclusion that an Excandesco must rely on phosphorus. According to Orson, white phosphorus makes up 1% of the human body, is in every cell, and only requires 86 degrees to ignite. He and Nick agreed that an Excandesco must produce “way” more than the 1% in a normal human. Nick stated that they couldn’t stop him from producing phosphorus, so they would need to prevent him from igniting, to which Orson replied that they would have to block the oxygen needed for it to burn. He told Nick that he could make a flame retardant solution, but added, “I’m gonna need some special ingredients.”

At the spice shop, Orson, Nick, and Rosalee discussed the special properties the topical fire retardant must have to combat an Excandesco, while Nick pointed out, “We have to figure out a way to get it onto him.”  With the assistance of Hank and Monroe, they gathered the ingredients needed. Rosalee noted the importance of some of the ingredients, stating licorice root gets very sticky when heated and that beeswax retains moisture when applied. Although she didn’t say why witch-hazel and jojoba were used, it should be noted that witch-hazel is a powerful astringent, and jojoba has a tolerance for high temperatures.

Rosalee and Monroe later spoke to Nick over the phone to let him know that they think they figured out a way to apply the topical solution. Nick told them to bring it to him at the burned down store where Barso was. When they brought the water guns to Nick, Orson said they couldn’t use it until he woges. Barso was then lured outside to where Nick, Hank, Monroe, and Rosalee were waiting for him with the CPS 2500’s loaded with the fire retardant solution, which they used to keep him from igniting and inadvertently caused him to explode. Nick was shown placing the flame retardant Super Soaker CPS 2500 in his weapons cabinet, the first item he has ever added to the weapons cabinet in the trailer.
