I haven't had any major jams in the time I've messed around with it. Everything seems smooth. Sometimes the slam handle can get stuck but you just have to repeat the priming motion to fix it.
The spring is kinda noisy. It vibrates or something when a dart is fired.
Slam firing is pretty good. Seems to shoot the darts just as fast if not faster than the single-shot mode. However, it does mean that you have to be holding the slam handle in the forward position for it to shoot, because if you let it go it'll slide back like a millimeter and the trigger won't work. Definitely not a one-handed gun, but its size would probably clue you in on that anyway.
The 18-dart drum is nice. Gets a bit tight when it's near capacity, though. But other than that it'd make a great clip substitute, since it isn't as big as the 35-dart drum.
Some of my darts are already nicked on the back end, so I hope they last until I get back to school and pick up the dart packs I ordered.
Overall it's a decent gun with a great firing rate, and it'll definitely be seeing some use.
I've had this BZP account for 9 years as of the first of this month, but it slipped my mind because everything is a terrifying dumpster fire at the moment. But now I have my Hau which means I'm officially into my spinnies, so that's something I guess.
@"Point" 1: That wasn't complaining. That wasn't close to complaining. That was about something larger than a kid's toy. Aka THE MOON.
@"Point" 2: See, here's the problem. BIONICLE is a line of toys meant to sell. The storyline is meant to encourage sales, and acts as a marketing technique. You have the option to follow the story. You have the option to buy a set that you like this year. You have the option not to.
Racism, on the other hand, is a belief that a certain race or ethnicity is better than another, usually based on something ridiculous like skin color or accent or language or culture. It's often expressed through discrimination, restriction, and violence. But can't opt out of it. You can't just say "Sorry, I don't really like this. Can you stop?" and fix it.
Which brings me to my point: If you make an analogy, stop to think about the things you're comparing. If you're saying "X is like Y", ask yourself which you'd rather have: X or Y. If you know which one you'd choose before you even finish with your thought, then you'd probably be better toning it down a bit. If it actually takes a bit of thought, then it's probably okay.
So now the question. Which would you rather have: Mistika or racism?
