The first thing I noticed about this toy gun, is how well it's made. It is plastic, but it's durable and made really well. The darts are made really well too, and are pretty soft. I don't recommend shooting them at close range though because they do hurt when hit from close up. You can detach the stock of the gun too, if you don't want the piece there. There is a sight you can look through too, which is fun for the kids.
Attaching the super drum to the gun is actually easy. There are 2 knobs on each end of the drum that you pull out, and then you just push the drum in. It's really simple, even for kids. The drum can hold 40 darts too, which come with the gun! The darts can shoot up to 80 feet too which is a long distance! You can either do single fire or rapid fire with the gun. For single fire, you just pull the front handle back and then forward again. Then, you just press the trigger to launch a single dart. If you want to do rapid fire, which is our favorite, you hold the trigger down continuously and not let up. Then while doing that, you slide the front handle back and forth as fast as you can. It's really simple to do and it's a lot of fun!
The only downside I have had with this toy gun, is that it can jam kind of easily. We have had to un-jam it a few times. But, once it's not jammed anymore, it's back to a world of fun! All in all, this is a super fun toy gun, and I do recommend it! It has become a favorite in our house! Give it a shot, you won't regret it!
