First review

Hey there just got back from the club, had a lot of fun! Due to the small number of kids today I was easily able to get an idea of how some of the blasters performed

First off the Longstrike CS-5:

Although this blaster looks awesome and has a fairly good weight to it, it has a fair few flaws. The blaster jammed regularly and was a bit of a pain to unjam constantly as even though the weight of the gun is a good feel to hold while shooting its awkward to hold while unjaming. What I find most disappointing about this blaster is the range at which the darts fire, where other blaster will shoot from one side of the hall to the other (around 30-40metres) this blaster can only scrape around 10-15metres.

Over all I think this is a cool blaster but I think that is should not be at the high price nor should it be advertised as a "sniper rifle".

Next the Jolt EX-1:

This is probably my favourite blaster to use as a side arm even though you can only fire one dart at a time it's easily concealed in a pocket ready to fire, for the size it's very comfy to hold and aim with, however on flaw I have found is that sometimes the dart will not grip into the blaster an just fall out the end of the barrel without having cocked or fired the blaster this probably happens 3/10 times the blaster was loaded

A great side arm and very useful to surprise your enemy just watch out for misfires.

And now the Retaliator:

This blaster is fantastic, the range is great easily firing the whole width of the hall (30-40 metres) and hits the target almost every time. With a larger clip the blaster could be fairly formidable, but as with all blasters even this has a flaw when the blaster jams it's fairly hard to unjam even with long fingers if you can't pull the messianism back to remove the clip it can be fairly hard to pull the dart out of the clip even trough the access slide.

A great primary weapon if you have a good aim you can take out the enemy from great distances and be outside there weapons range.

And lastly for today the Stockade:

This blaster has an average range of about 25-30 metres the stock is pretty cool it fits well into your shoulder making it easier to aim and holds the same about of dart as the blaster itself holds meaning easy reloading. Even when this blaster does jam, which is very rarely, is incredibly easy to fix just slide open the access and pull the dart out with ease.

A good primary weapon easily out ranged by other blasters but if you can get up close and personal you will become deadly as you can easily unleash all 10 darts in rapid succession due to the battery powered cocking system


And that's all for this week hopefully there will be a Proton un-boxing and demo video during the week :)
