Hey everyone!
I'm not sure if you've all paroused around your local Wal-mart/Target/Kmart lately, but there's this line of spy products, one of which is a "communication system" (foam rocket flares). Check out the link.

I've got a fair amount of cash so I purchased one of these puppies for $20 and it gets decent range. It comes with a red rocket with streamers, a green one with reflective tape, and a yellow/orange one that's supposed to be used for sending notes. All three of them have whistles on the sides (like the nerf footballs), which makes them kind of poor for stealth, but considering that this thing packs distance similar to that of the BBTitan (it's a pump ~10 pumps) and launches much faster (smaller projectile=less inertia to overcome) the whistling will only add to the feeling of doom that will wash over your friends' faces.

A couple of things about this amazing find:
-pump (~ 10 pumps)
-3 rockets with 3 "extra ammo" holders on the sides of the gun
-trigger is a button on the back of the gun
-aiming is awkward at best, but you can usually count on being within a foot of where you're aiming
-whistles!!
-gets good distance (I'm terrible at judging distance in feet, but...) The box says 40' in the air (intending to be fired straight up) so if you do out the physics they say it gets 50.6'/sec, which will probably give you 30-something' flat (I don't have a graphing calculator handy to do out the trig functions).

I'm not sure if it's mod-able, haven't opened it up yet, but when I do I'll post about it.


Anyway if you don't want/can't find/can't afford the BBT try this one out.

We have known about this for awhile.
Try searching next time.

Actually, just about everybody here knows about this.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Please search, people. Saves on unnecessary threads (and suspensions).
