Now for the Blaster itself: The clamping Mechanismuss's like real ner, a slide Mechanismuss which makes the fold tension beautifully simple and fast. So you pull the slide back, the slide rockets alone again still ahead, and then you can shoot. Under the main run are 2 chambers for Reserve darts. These side chambers are but only as holders there, because you can only shoot from the main run. The system behind this Blaster is very well constructed and stable as ever. There is a flaw in this Blaster: The handle !!!! He is very small and slim, so I think there rather that just for our "Junior Zombie Hunter" is this really Blaster. For me go, I now not so the paws, but if there NEN adult with giant hands takes the Side Strike in the hand, he will probably leave the handle completely disappear.
Conclusion: Except for the handle, the Side Strike an acquisition is defenitiv value, but for large hands this blaster will probably be nothing, and advise rather to Old Shool Fire Strike.
