Like all good weaponry the Double Shot works best with booze. The gun’s main purpose is to harass and irritate family and friends. Dogs also tend to be very skittish of these things, and for good reason.
This double barrel dart shooting shotgun is made by the people of Buzz Bee Toys. Purchased at Target for $9.99 I thought I was getting a hell of a bargain, but it turned out to be another Chinese conspiracy. This gun has nothing on any Nerf products.
The cartridges shoot out when you crack the gun open, which is fun at first, but quickly becomes aggravating. Darts often didn’t leave the chamber, and instead found themselves lodged in the barrel of the gun. This can be quite embarrassing when trying to kill Julia Child on the Jumbo-screen. The darts are firing using air hence its name ‘Air Blasters.’ However, the gust of air is weak causing inaccuracy, and a short firing range. For my taste I find the gun too light, and overall cheaply made. I was hoping more for a full sized, possibly real shotgun experience. This is why after shooting this toy, Collin’s suggestion of shooting a friends real shotgun made in the U.S. of A. sounded like a great idea.
I suppose it’s worth noting that this is a child’s toy, but the fact that there is really no creative alterations on the traditional shotgun, and it’s more of a miniature colorful replica is disturbing. The world needs child soldiers, but they can’t learn on this equipment.
At target looking at the table chart of Nerf products we saw the Vulcan, an intense bipod mounted killing machine. After muttering it’s name a stoner Target worker seemed very eager to show us the product, and was seemingly disappointed when we refused. Sorry buddy.
The shotgun was fun for a short time, but it’s poor quality and the fact that I’m 24 rendered it useless after one day. Oh well, 10 bucks on something that had potential.
