Have'n a Blast

My local Wal-mart finally got some blasters in-stock including the Demolisher 2-in-1. I've been wanting a missile  launching blaster for a while. They also had the  Buzz Bee Extreme BLASTZOOKA for less than a third of the price of a Demolisher, so I picked up one of these foam missile launchers and was pleasantly surprised.
My new Blastzooka!
 This 21" (53.34cm) long, shoulder fired,  pump-up, air tank powered blaster seems to fire it's (2) stock 6 inch(152mm) long, 4.5g missiles close to the claimed 50' (15.2m) range plus some if you angle it a little. Seems about 6 or 7 pumps gets max air pressure.
Missile compared to elite dart.

I had heard that these blasters weren't too popular and were "ugly", but mine is gray not blue as pictured on the box it came in and I think it looks ok and come on... it's a bazooka!

Here are a couple more views of mine to give you a better idea of it's size and how it looks.

About 24in.(61cm) long loaded.
This one is a definite candidate for modding, I'm sure someone has at least done a dart conversion. I might like just a little more power/ distance out of it but I have got to say it's not bad out of the box, especially for indoor use. I'd say this blaster is very FUN-ctional, especially considering it costs about the same as a Fire-Strike and it fires missiles.
NERF ON NERerS!!!
