The Expand-A-Blast(TM) toy is really not very good, and somewhat of a disapointment. Sure it generated a lot of excitement among the younger crowd because it expanded, however doing so with an ammo loaded causes the ammo to get thrown out of the toy. This essentially makes the one cool thing about the toy utterly useless.

The expansion has absolutely no effect on the range and/or accuracy of the toy.

The only good thing you can say about this toy is that it has solid pressure which allows for higher accuracy. However the fact that it isn't very powerful makes this an indoor only toy.
