100 fps ??? Hmm, I don't know about that. I have a Scorpion, and it's mediocre in a lot of ways. The first warning sign was it only took 3 AA batteries. Second warning sign was the darts are substandard length. Oh yeah, the turret spins a hundred miles per hour, but the darts shoot one per second, if that. All bark and no bite, if you ask me.

Think about it, all of the energy being used to rotate the turrent is energy NOT being imparted to the dart. For the sake of simplicity, let's assume that one AA is used to rotate the turret. That leaves two measly AAs to advance the mech and fire the dart. I don't have a chrono, but there's no way the Scorpion shoots 90+ FPS on a regular basis. At least not mine anyway.

I'm glad I only spent $19.95 at the Targèt. I chukle when I see it advertised at $34.99. Sorry to be a dissenter my friend.
