As I was browsing through ebay Nerf sales, I found this....

I already searched, but if this has already been brought up, let me know.

Anyway, the back part of the gun looks like that of a Maverick, the plunger rod handle looks like that of a Tech Target, and the front looks like something else.

The handle is more of an electric eel...

You guys gave me a great idea, a Techmav. It would get like 50% more range than a nightmav.

Except that the longer tube won't fit in the Maverick.

Although they've stolen some of the looks of the Maverick, it looks more like the Nite Finder...

Am I the only one who see's no resemblance at all to the Maverick? I guess the fake cocking slider on the KnockOff does look a teeny bit like the Maverick, but other than that, nothing.

It's mainly the grip (& trigger) that's similar.

You can easily tell where they got their inspiration from (Maverick + Nite Finder)

The handle is identical to the Maverick's. And the trigger is really close.

I wish all these knock-offs weren't cheap pieces of shit...

Probably dead by now, or something.

Who knows there might be some hope out there.Don't give up on your hope.
I'm just the scitzophrenic clusterfuck of randomness that is me.

I see it now, they just kept the black cap thing on the mav the same color as the rest of the gun.

This gun is quite possible the most useless piece of trash ever. The plunger tube is about the same diameter as my pinky, and just as long. The spring is relatively weak, and the "barrel" of the gun is about 1/4 the length of darts it comes with, which are extremely fat, almost the size of megas. I did get it for $1.50 at a warehouse type store though, so I didn't expect much.

You'll do a lot better if you spread the lips with the front. Trying to wriggle the back in there first seems a bit counterintuitive.
