Lord, I hate double posters. But here I go anyway.

After spending some time with my new Caliburn, I have been so impressed with this blaster I just don't know where to start. Captain Slug has thought through a hundred little details and come up with a blaster that redefines what a Nerf gun is. Or should be.

Let me begin by saying my Caliburn is not perfect. It has several 3D printing flaws. That being said, my Caliburn is solely and uniquely my Caliburn, warts and all. I have figured out its little idiosyncrasies and adapted. I'm in love.

I am very glad I ordered the partially assembled Version 4. To assemble completely from scratch takes approximately 24 working hours. I did mine in about two. The instructions are very good, but this is not a beginners build.

This blaster shoots unbelievably fast. Effortlessly. Almost too easily. You pull the trigger and there's no visual clue that you've fired a dart. Click, snap, thwap, the dart strikes the target. It's all over in milliseconds, just like that.

It's also incredibly dense for its size. In a good way. It feels very substantial. It never feels flimsy or cheap. The grip, priming handle, and stock are all comfortable and sturdy. Very sturdy. In many ways it feels like a real-steel firearm.

All I can say is I feel woke. Everything a Nerf blaster is supposed to be was revealed to me this afternoon. My Nerf world view has changed.
