I've never broken skin with a stock blaster and stock darts. Not even a welt. And I've been shot point blank in the head and neck and never suffered any ill effects. I'll concede, getting hit from close range directly in the eye might smart a bit. However, there's a boat load of cheap eye protection that can easily solve that problem. Bottom line, I think even 8 year-olds have figured all this out.

But I do have a funny story. Not funny ha-ha. Funny-weird. I accidentally hit my left index finger with a glancing shot from a seriously upgraded Rampage. I'm not exactly sure what the circumstances were, but I think I must have had a vodka or five and been holding it by the tip of the barrel. Anyway, the dart basically sloughed off several layers of skin and bled like a mother trucker. It was really painful.

So, um, don't do that kids.
