Ooooh, I get it ! The spring is in the shell. You prime the shell with the rod that's stored in the handle/grip, then you insert a dart. Then you insert the primed shell into the Wasteland, and put the rod back in the handle, then fire it. That explains how he was able to fire the shell at the end of the video. He just primed and loaded it, then manually activated the trigger mech. Makes total sense.

That being said, at $52 USD plus shipping it's probably the most expensive single shot blaster on the market. It's also unnecessarily complicated and clunky. Don't get me wrong, I think it's incredibly beautiful. It has super clean lines, a great design profile, and an outstanding Elite blue/white/orange color scheme. I absolutely love the look.

But operationally, I agree with you Pedro, it's a mess. Who's going to use this in the field against ubiquitous stock Nerf blasters with clips? Or regular ol' single shot muzzle loaders like a for that matter. You'd be lucky to get off 8 rounds per minutes with a Wasteland Ranger.

I'd love to own one. But as they say, "I love it, but I'm not in love with it". Think I'll take a pass until my inheritance comes in 😉

Thanks Pedro. You rock !
