After receiving five, I mean two, sorry, zero Nerf related presents from Mrs. ElliottW,  I decided to gift myself a real Nerf gun. Uhh blaster, I meant blaster  🙄  My bad.

For the uninitiated, the Caliburn is one of the first open source 3D-printed and metal blasters that fires standard Elite darts. It was designed and publicly released by a fellow named Captain Slug, and utilizes a K26 type spring that achieves 200+ FPS performance. P.S. No new info here, this is all googlable.

Bottom line, it's the Nerf equivalent of one of those biathlon rifles. Sure, it's not for everyone. You probably don't want to nail your little brother from behind the hutch in the dining room with one of these. Unless you have hydrogen peroxide and gauze pads handy.

But hallelujah, it should be here in time for Little Xmax. You know, the holiday where the three kings arrive, take one look around the stable, and realize there aren't enough Nerf blasters under the tree. So they, um, bring ... some. Yeah.
