I think that's the switch shots ultra. Or maybe switch shots super...?

[ompa]

Switch shots max; it's a highly underrated gun. With proper mods, it's a great gun.

Lightning Blitz.

The most recent one is the Lightnin' Blitz, pump it up and it can fire all 5 shots at once like a shotgun.


But come now, we aren't your reference staff. Do some research yourself first, at www.nerfcenter.com.

Ompa: What year did the Lightning Blitz come out? I have a Triple Torch and I think it came out in '97 or something. But when I bought it the label thing below it stuck to the shelf read Lightning Blitz. By the way, I still use my Triple Torch, it's one of my best guns.

Now; you realize that ompa doesn't get prophetic dreams where he learns things like this. He does 'research.' You can do it, too! (Don't take this offensively). I'm just trying to point out here that if ompa has time to search for something like this, I'm sure we can all spare 5 minutes to look it up.

Then again... maybe ompa DOES get prophetic dreams.

Actually, I pretty much know all of the names, stats, whatnot. Just not the years. Sorry 'bout that, looks like it's time to do some more memorizing.

And a single-barreled lightning blitz, while powerful, takes forever to prime. So if you were considering that, I suggest against it.

Single shot powerful guns are a dime-a-dozen, no need to sacrifice 5 good shots good to 80' for a single shot capable of sm5000-like ranges. I've heard the LB can get 130 max.

[NerfMonkey]

No problem I could just look it up myself. Just felt lazy.

Awesome! Wow! Supercool! Perfect! Everything a trooper needs!1!!1!

I was so uncool.

Yeah, the SSM works fairly well as a SM1500 replacement, especially considering the 4-shot turret. Finicky with PVC, but great with CPVC, PTEG, or something that reduces the overall moment of inertia.

The Lightnin' Blitz is inanely powerful as a one-barrel blaster, and I've seen it used really effectively as a one-shot-wonder throwaway. I can't see great things with 5-barrels, as they all fire at once. Unless you're considering porting a Blastfire's system to the Hailstorm, I'd toss it into a one-shot cannon. I've never seen the effective application of high-prime shotguns.
