The Lock 'n Load(TM) blaster is an awesome weapon. It has superior range not seen in any toy in years. When you factor in the toys light weight, small size, low price (and cool window sticker that comes with it) this toy can not be beat!

You can even disassemble parts of the toy to make it even smaller and lighter than it already is (to do this remove the large cocking part on top of the toy). However, doing so makes it a little more difficult to cock.

The only downside is that the toy has a large 'targeting' scope on top which flips up when cocked. This is easily solved by removing this sight (just yank it out, but don't break it). The toy also tends to fire high, so until you get used to aiming low you may miss a lot.

This is also one of the few toys which can use Type 1 and Type 2 suction dart ammo with equal efficiency.
