All of mine were bought from September 2015 onward. They are all blue motif with white details. I've noticed the current XD versions are primarily white with blue details. Maybe that's all just paint and propaganda, but I don't have any of those newer ones to compare mine to.

Other than some weak internal component issues that I've documented extensively on this wiki, I've had great luck with StrongArms. Or should I say, modified StrongArms. But I'm not immune to the chatter. Clearly, people have had bad experiences with this blaster. Which is why I haven't been a vocal supporter for the past few months.

For the record, the Hammerhot is a much more reliable blaster. It's performance potential doesn't compare to a StrongArm, but it's reliable and never, ever jams. One less dart, but it costs about the same if you're a smart shopper.

In the mean time, I'm gonna use the heck out of my OMW StrongArms until they don't fire any more. Plus I love my ATS drop-leg holster. See you on the battlefield Auburn
