There was a discount on a compact single shot with 2 ammo rounds on Shopee so I got one for myself. It looks like a sci-fi movie prop except you have to prime and reload manually every shot. Flies pretty straight circa 10m according to YouTube videos and does about 80-90 fps.
The main draw was the fps and the short barrel with the cool reloading mechanism that's a bit like a sniper rifle (the older ones). Wish they provided 4 rounds (which are ball-shaped) but you only get half that.
This was a toy gun released 5 years ago. Not the least bit a defensive weapon unless you spike the rounds with something nasty which would be hard and dangerous to do -thinking pepper oil? Itchy powder? But really, it's a great shooter for building accuracy and speed indoors. I'm fixed on the itchy powder (kidding). Thinking it might blast its way thru thin paper which would be fun in the shoebox where we live, set up a target on the back door.
Really stoked on the delivery maybe this weekend. Thought of giving my bow away. I never really fired it much over the past 10 years and it is in need of service which is expensive.
I was thinking how to improve the firing stability / accuracy of the Nerf blaster. And very originally, I came up with pressurized rounds. To fill the rounds with a mil of light vegetable oil maybe, thru a syringe, then seal the needle hole.
I also came up with rollers at the end of the barrel to impart rotary spin to the rounds. Not sure how best to make these. Rifles normally come with spin grooves for accuracy.

I thought of replacing the air limiter with a rotary device so the rounds might spin in the barrel for straighter flight.
