I haven't really chimed in on this thread yet, since my collection is small and I don't own anything too rare, but I figured I'd post pictures of these two blasters.

I found both of these Air Tech blasters at thrift stores (separate ones, iirc). Both are in... "working" condition, the AT1K works relatively okay but probably has some leak problems. I think some things could be touched up inside, because the trigger feels less than stellar and the pump is very finicky. I have a hard time firing off darts from this thing, and I wish I could get it open without having to result to boring out the old, stripped screws.

Aaaand then there's this... thing... I remember finding this at a Goodwill and thinking "well, this is my rarest blaster, I suppose, so much for owning a Warthog or a Manta!" It is unfortunately missing the top fin piece, but considering that didn't come integrated into the blaster, I'm not too surprised I don't have it.

The function on the Jet Squadron is just plan weird. It seems that, no matter what I do, I can't get the dang thing to work. I don't know if this is because of it being old or broken, or if the firing mechanisms within are just so complicated it never really worked properly in the first place. It does technically fire--pulling the trigger or pushing the top button releases air--but darts either fly off by a foot or don't leave the post at all. Maybe there's a major air leak in the tank(s)?

Maybe not having original Micro Darts is a problem, with the fit on the posts and whatnot? I haven't really looked into it that much. I've actually wanted to do a video on this thing, since there seems to only be two on YouTube, but I would need to try and figure out how it properly works before doing that...
