They look really....strange.... i don't know how you would mod the second one but the first one you might be able to do something with it. What do you guys think?

I remember that the first one was brought up before, but someone (I believe slug) pointed out that it's way too expensive for a single shot blaster with no reptation.

The second one seems new, but I don't think it'll come to much- though it does use darts.

The first crossbow thing looks really cool. I'd buy one of them if the price was less.

The second one looks like it shoots those rubber BB's, or something like that.

I've seen the first one for 20 dollars at a sport shop around here it was an open box item...i should have bought it...

They both fire darts. You should've actually read the description.

The Crossbow thing looks like it fires a dart almost identical to a streamline. The dart in the "barrel" of the crossbow looks like a streamline, but wider. If you replaced the string with a bungee cord, and made a real pvc barrel, that thing might have some potential. And it looks like it has a nice feel to it, like the Xbow. Although the shotgun thing, the overpriced single shot, unless it gets insane power (I doubt that), then it is by no means worth 40$.

DO NOT GET THE RIFLE! I got it, it never fired one dart.

[lionhead333]

But did you attempt at all to mod it?
Remember the flaws of the stock Doomsayer?

Take it back to the store and get a replacement.

The crossbow looks cool, and would be nice to integrate something into. I wouldn't pay $30 for an integration frame, though. Maybe if I could find it on eBay for cheaper.

[CaptainSlug]

I've heard the crossbow is surprisingly effective, but I would never buy it because there's not way to improve it's performance or repair it if it breaks.

I am a little pissed it is still a computer generated image on the website.
I just ordered one. I should be seeing it in a couple weeks. I will post photos of it and a complete review.

Thanks FA24 for biting the foam bullet for us. Will be quite interesting what your verdict will be on it. I'm hoping that because it's $40 that it's at least half way decent.
