Okay, so check this out. This is the TSOL pistol. There's no other printing anywhere on the blaster or the box. It comes with 4 darts (2 waffle head and 2 suction darts).

It's just slightly larger than a Jolt. The quality of the shell, its weight, density, and design are just awesome. It feels really great in your hand, and it looks totally cool.

But it's got some weird things going on. First, it's a little hard to prime. The white section slides back and returns forward when primed. But it's smooth and kinda hard to get a good grip on.

The prime is also quite hard. Unfortunately that doesn't translate into very good power. It only shoots about 10 feet. It's also very quiet.

But the most interesting thing is the battery door and switch on the bottom. The battery compartment has no electrical contacts and the switch doesn't appear to be wired to anything.

So that leaves me to question, was this originally going to be electronic ? Or maybe incorporate sound ? Or lights ? Because it's all set up to take 2 AAA batteries.

Bottom line, the shell of the TSOL is just fantastic. I've never had a blaster that felt so well made. I can't wait to get this on the bench and see if there's anything that can be done about it's performance, or lack thereof.
