<p><strong>Toy Description</strong></p> <p>Hard plastic blaster with trigger function and priming slide. The drum holds six foam darts and flips open for quick reloading. There are two color variations, one that is mostly blue with white and orange highlights, while the other is mostly white with blue and orange highlights.</p> <p>The package includes the blaster, six Elite darts, and instructions. Additional darts can be purchased separately.</p> <p>A tactical rail is present, so additions such as lights or scopes can be added.</p> <p>Weighs less than 1 pound.</p> <p><strong>Play</strong></p> <p>Using the normal function, users can shoot up to 75 feet, with 45 feet being the easy average. The blaster must be cocked before each shot. This is done by pulling back on the Slam-fire slide until a click is heard.&nbsp;</p> <p>While holding down the trigger, users can pump the Slam-fire slide back and forth to let fly darts in rapid succession.</p> <p>Reload by flipping out the drum. The drum cannot be fully removed.</p> <p><strong>Observations</strong></p> <p>Though users did find some issues that will be discussed further below, they mostly loved this blaster. It&#39;s easy to use, reloading is quick and simple, the firing distance is impressive, and the&nbsp;</p> <p>Users found this blaster to have less-than-stellar accuracy. As with any blaster, accuracy decreases at greater distances, but some reviewers were unable to make contact with a person standing only 20 feet away. We have found that it helps to make sure the darts are fully loaded into the drum. Sensitive to air pressure, these darts need to be pushed down fully into the drum in order to keep any air from escaping around them when fired. This also means any darts with cracks or tears will not fire as well as intact darts.</p> <p>Priming, or cocking, the blaster does not require much strength, but reviewers said that children under 6 or 7 may have difficulty pulling the slide back all the way. A few reviewers said 5 year olds were capable of using it, but each child is different.</p> <p>The foam darts do not cause great pain, but we agree with the manufacturer&rsquo;s warning that the eyes and face should be avoided. At a close range, getting hit may sting a bit.&nbsp; At point-blank or even less than 10 feet, the dart can hurt on bare skin. Children should be taught not to fire too closely to another person.</p> <p>Compatible with 7.2cm foam darts.</p> <p><strong>Care</strong></p> <ul> <li>Wash with a damp cloth</li> <li>Wash in warm water and soap</li> </ul> <p>For more in-depth information on how to clean this type of toy, please see our blog, <a href="/Blogs1/The-Cleaning-Guide-for-Toys.htm" linktype="8" target="_self">The Cleaning Guide for Toys</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Parts and Pieces</strong></p> <p>Darts deteriorate over time, making them less accurate.

The darts, particularly at close range, can cause eye injury.</p>
