The Defender T3(TM) toy is a very interesting weapon. It has the range equal to the best of the other large toys, but here is the really cool part; you can use it as a single combined toy (picture far left) or use the arrow or dart pistol separately (next two pictures). So this is actually 3 different guns in one, a very good value for your money.

Why is it listed as Manual and Cocking? If you have the toy as a single unit it will fire either or both barrels from the trigger. If the units are separate, then the arrow launcher becomes manual, and the dart pistol is cocking.

A great toy. My only complaint is that sometimes when you go to cock the arrow shooter (while the toy is a single unit) it will struggle with you to cock. Also the arrows don't fly all that accurately, especially if you use the special Cyber Stryke(TM) ammo that comes with the weapon instead of standard arrows. I recommend that you use the standard arrows instead. The dart shooter looses accuracy when the toy is one unit. The handle in the arrow unit can be uncomefortable when taken apart to use separately.
