Hello everyone, Link here again! First off I would like to say all of the previous blog posts I have have not had a Youtube video on them yet, but I will try to edit these soon and get them up on Youtube. Anyways, I present to you
The
Ghetto Bow!
Now, you may ask, "WHAT MAKES THIS GHETTO YOU POLITICALLY INCORRECT FIEND?" Well, just look below.
Yeah, I was going to liquid epoxy it on, but then it shot off and I got pissed off and duct taped it on. Anyways, as you can see it has a CPVC coupler:
Yup, and here it is with a 8 in. speedloader:
Firstly, I'll have a video up on this soon. This is actually one I modified for the mod guide that, as I said a few words ago, will be up on Youtube soon. But anyways, lets talk about performance. When I fire my domes out of it, it's getting a good 120-130 feet WITH A LEVEL SHOT. Now, I know what your thinking, "LINK BE BEING LYING BOUT HIS NARFZ RANGEZ BRAH." Well then, let me tell you the springs in it. It has 2 Big Bad Bow springs and one Industrial springs. That's why it's getting such good ranges. It's definitely piercing cardboard, and I'm almost sure it can handle a RSCB or hopper. And as you can see, it has no bow arms. This is because I personally think if I'm going to actually want to use this in Nerf wars or games, it should be as small as possible. Just my opinion. But, I guess that's it, let's move on to the rankings.
Looks: 7
Comfort: 9
Range: 9.5
Capacity: 9
Average: 8.63
Yeah, It's really good. That's my conclusion.

Link's Modified Lanard Clear X Ball Blaster
OUR FIRST POST ABOUT A MODIFICATION! YAAAAYYY!!! Well, anyways, let me show you the pictures:
Here it is dudebros. As you can see, it doesn't look that much different:
As you can see, it has a universal coupler:
Here it is with an 8 in. speedloader:
It can't fire the balls anymore, but oh well:
And now a picture for kicks and giggles:
First, lets talk about the building process. To be quite honest, it couldn't be much easier. Really all I did was I jammed a CPVC coupler into a PVC coupler, then hack sawed the extra part of the CPVC coupler sticking out of the back of the PVC coupler. Then, I simply wrapped E-tape around the coupler and hammered it into the muzzle of the blaster, then whala! You've got yourself an easy to operate primary. It can get about 100-110 feet with streamlines and 115-125 feet with stefans. It can also handle a small RSCB or a hopper/ chopper, and can pierce cardboard with hot glue domes. Anyways, lets do some rankings for the mod! By the way, the range rating is based off of the ranges with it being modded, meaning there's a different scale for stock blasters and modded blasters.
Looks: 8
Comfort: 10
Ranges: 8.5
Capacity: 7
Average: 8.38
Three Words: CHEAP, EFFECTIVE PRIMARY.

Review: Buzz Bee/ Airzone Tommy 20
Hello earth and all that inhabits it! Here I will review the Stock Tommy 20. I got this on clearance for $13.00 USD at Toys R Us. As usual, let us start up with the pictures:
Yup, there it is:
Here's one of the darts that it fires. Strangely, this is under the Airzone name but it uses Buzz Bee darts. Hmmm...:
And, a random picture of it in use :) :
So, without further ado, let's start out with the ranges of the Tommy 20. It gets around 35 feet flat, which is fairly decent for a stock flywheel blaster running off of 4.5 volts (Three AA batteries). For those of you who don't know, this is a semi-auto blaster. So I always seem to think of it as a Barricade with a higher dart capacity, which is great due to the fact I love Barricades. Now, lets talk about Blaster Comfort. For the most part, it's a comfortable blaster. The main thing I'm having trouble with is the fact that on the stock of the Blaster there's these weird circular bumps on it. Also, the trigger pull is nice so it's easy to get a nice firing rate out of it. So, I guess with no more to say, let's move on to the rankings.
Looks: 6
Comfort: 8.5
Range: 8
Capacity: 8.5
Average: 7.75
All in all, this is a nice blaster. The few flaws bring down the rating, but still a great blaster. Plus, if I throw some trustfires into it, who knows how it could perform...

Review: Lanard Clear X Ball Blaster
G'day Mates! Yeah, I don't know why I did that either. Anyways, here I will review the Lanard Clear X Ball Blaster. I purchased this at Toys R Us for $13.00 USD. Anyways, lets move on to the pictures.
Here is one side of the Blaster:
The other side:
This is one of the balls it fires. It's around the size of a ping pong ball:
There's a small space to store balls on the bottom of the blaster shown here:
Here's the plunger rod pulled back:
Here is the ball loaded in he front of the blaster:
Let me start out talking about the ranges of the blaster. Now, obviously this is a ball blaster, therefor it gets crappy ranges, but I don't give a crap, It'll still get bad ratings. On the box of the blaster Lanard claims the blaster to get 25 feet, but after I fired the blaster and measured it, I realized Lanard likes BSing with their ranges. It legitimately gets about 15 feet. But other than the horse crap ranges, this is a freaking awesome blaster. For one thing, this is probably one of the most comfortable blasters I have ever held. Plus, after dry firing it at my face :D, I've found that this thing has an absolutely huge amount of airflow, which immediately makes me think about how much modding potential this has. But, other than that, there's not too much to say about this, except it makes an awesome popping sound when you fire it. Anyways, on to the ratings:
Looks: 8
Feel: 10
Range: 2
Capacity: 5
Average: 6.25
Yes, I think the rating seems a little high too, but I think if you are a modder like me, this is definitely a nice cheap blaster to make into an effective primary. So, stay tuned to see me modding it into an effective primary! Seeya guys later!!

Review: Airzone X Shot Dual
Here, I will be reviewing the Air Zone X Shot Dual. I got this at Toys R Us for $7.00 USD. First, I'll start off with some pictures:
One Side:
The Other Side:
Here It Is Primed:
It fires out these Air Zone darts and these crappy foam disks:
Obviously, you just muzzle load the darts, but you load the disks from the top like so:
Anyways, lets start with the actual review. Firstly, I would like to point out that the blaster is comfortable, EXCEPT FOR IT'S TINY FREAKIN' HANDLE! The handle is smaller than a Buzz Bee Panther handle, which is really saying a lot. But, for such a low volume springer, It gets some amazing ranges (with the darts at least). Holding it flat or a level shot with the darts get around 30-40 feet, but on the other hand the discs get about 10-20 feet flat. There are a few reasons revealing why the discs are soooooo terrible. For one thing, the discs are this flimsy foam that have basically no weight at all, causing bad ranges and terrible accuracy. Second of all, when the plaster is primed, it pulls back the small "Hammer" that hits the discs and makes them fire, then when you pull the trigger it launches the hammer forward, hitting the disc, causing it to fire and get bullcrap ranges because there is no air involved. But, for the most part, it's a nice blaster. Lets go on to the ratings (out of 10).
Looks: 7
Comfort: 7
Range: 8
Capacity: 4
Average: 6.5
So, this is definitely a blaster to get. It gets some nice stock ranges, and has decent modding potential. Look out for a mod of this blaster coming soon!
