The Helix is a short ranged piston series gun that has been noted to work well with a A.R.M 4000 XL. The Helix, like most new guns from Super Soaker is very comfortable to hold and use. The Helix has two nozzles that rotate when one fires the gun to create a stream that resembles a double helix, note the name 'Helix'. The width of the double helix stream can be altered by turning a ring of plastic that is around the rotating nozzles. The Helix is also rather noisy, so don't use it if you are doing a stealth action. With the Helix, one must be near a water source becuase the Helix runs out of ammo fairly quickly. The Helix can easliy leave an opponant drenching wet in no time due to the sheer output of one of the Helix's blasts, which hightens the number of people you can soak before refilling.
