Achtung, back on topic, meine kinder !

I had an enlightening evening at the Proving Grounds tonight. It turns out the Tri-Strike's Mega blaster HAMP is very particular about its darts. I have a bunch of limited edition Megas with the Nerf logo and giant "MEGA" printed on the foam which I've been using for testing. They're kinda like my "test darts".

Well it turns out the Tri-Strike hates those darts. They fire 2 at a time, or 7 feet, or not at all sometimes. I've ranted about this for several days now. But on a whim I tried some plain old Mega darts. Lo and behold, the Tri-Strike works beautifully. Clearly there's something about those limited edition darts that's different. Maybe diameter, maybe the smoothness of the foam where there's printing, who knows.

Bottom line, I take back what I said before about the Mega blaster attachment. It's a thing of beauty when you use the right darts.
