It’s about as kid-friendly a blaster as $5 can get, and there’s plenty of performance for that price. It’s easy to use, reload, and hit targets with it (assuming a little practice, of course). The Air Warriors Crossbow Pistol takes the fun aspects of the Sling Shot and improves on them. That way, you can increase the tension and fire darts much further. With a bit of finesse, however, you can move the bearing farther into the tubing. With the elastic under tension, that bearing essentially smashes the tubing against the bow arm, holding it in place. There’s what appears to be a ball bearing inserted into the tubing. Buzz Bee Toys Air Warriors Mini Crossbow Pistol takes dart blasting to a new level This mini crossbow design allows you to play indoors or outdoors. Notably (and this may be true of the Sling Shot as well), the tubing is secured in a simple way. With the included dart storage, the rate of fire goes up to one dart every two seconds – another improvement on the Sling Shot. My Crossbow Pistol averaged 68fps, enough for the darts to hit the claimed 80′ ranges (at an angle, of course). So it’s perfectly fine for the application. The blaster fits my hands quite well, and while the handle may be a bit thin, you don’t need to use a trigger or do anything requiring a tight grip. In this case, room for both a pull handle and for looping the elastic around the back. It’s a mechanism that’s just fine for single-shot blasters, and blasters where a large rear surface may be needed. It’s a reverse plunger, where the plunger tube fits around the barrel. The blaster has orange caps at the front and back, but given the simplicity, I see no reason to disassemble. The bow arms have storage for four more darts, making reloading easier than with the Sling Shot. Load a Long Distance dart, pull back and let go. You just have to rotate them ninety degrees, and you’re good to go. In the package, the bow arms are rotated vertically. That works in its favor, however with the plunger just above your hand, pulling back the plunger doesn’t exert nearly as much torque on the literal lever in hand. It works in essentially the same manner as the Buzz Bee Sling Shot, though in a smaller package. It’s still a bow in function, seeing as you have to pull back the bowstring (in this case, elastic tubing) and release it manually to fire the dart. To be clear, this isn’t a true crossbow in any sense. This year, the newest $5 item is the Crossbow Pistol. Recurve Crossbows Compound Crossbows Pistol Crossbows Crossbow Parts Recreational Recreational Bows Larp and Archery Games Other Toys. That’s why we still get lots of $5 oddities like the Sling Shot and the Blow Blaster. At its core, Buzz Bee Toys still makes blasters for kids.
