Just a heads up that Australian K-Marts are still stocking the X-Stream range.

Excuse the camera phone pics, I didn't bother recolouring in photoshop.

The crappy disc shooter.


And the decent blaster.


The relevance or importance of this eludes me, as I don't have the pricing, just thought I'd let fellow aussies know, and you guys know, in case TRU has stopped selling them.

I actually saw some max shots in my local walgreens the other day. I didn't pick one up because I didn't have much money on me at the time, and I don't really like them. The cocking system is pretty goofy.

But they're so good! Even if you don't like the cocking mechanism, which I personally do because you don't get an extended gun because of the internal cocking mechanism, you can single it and get 100' without internal banding!

Seriously? I might get one actually. Thanks for the heads up.

yeah, if I ever see one, i'd buy it. if you look at cx's mod, and see the stats, you'll understand its power. it seems comfortable, and with a firm grip, i think that cocking it would be faster and easier. actually, it must be easier because it provides leverage. anyway...the tek six and tek ten are good too.

Yes, in fact I just also saw some of those blast bow, triple shots, firstshots, the ball blasters that they make, and other water guns by them at a ValueCity yesterday. PM me if you are interested. The bow looks really low power though. You might as well make a ramrod to mock this thing. The bow string has no resistance what-so-ever. I might get it and reinforce it with some steel barstock and put a bungee cord on it. It kinda defeats the purpose of it then. I forgot to check the price, but for the price of the gun, bungee, and enough barstock to reinforce it and balance it (so you don't have a ton on one side of the gun only) it would cost the price of a youth bow that can be modded and have the same force on a dart.

What is the gun in the second pic?

[WratH]

My guess is the speedloader.

[euphemism]

Your guess is correct.

[taita cakes]

I'm willing to ship if there is true interest, but I'm sure you can find some locally.
The point being, just looking at the photo's you can see we have quite a few and they don't sell too well.

The disc shooter looks incredibly average and stereotyped [like every other one I've ever seen] but there's something I love about them. I'm going to experiment with discs once I get my ball gun finished.

Just a heads up, didn't know if anyone was after the X-Streams or anything.
