Boss

The Boss is a Buzz Bee blaster that was released in 2015 under the Air Max sub-series.

It comes packaged with a three dart clip and three XL Distance Darts.

Details
The Boss is a medium-sized blaster that fires large, "XL" darts similar to Nerf N-Strike Mega Mega Darts. The Boss is a clip system-esque blaster that is compatible with all current forms of "Mega"-sized clips, including the twelve dart clip and the Nerf Mega Clip. The blaster is cocked by a slide at the top which operates in the same fashion as blasters such as the Magnus and the Retaliator. Pushing back the priming slide feeds the dart into position from the clip, which is then fed fully into position by returning the priming slide. The slide itself will not fully push forward and will jut out by a small margin; this is not an error with the blaster itself, but a design in the blaster itself.

A large button is seen on the center of the Boss, though this does nothing performance-wise and cannot be pressed, only serving aesthetic purpose. The circular button between the firing trigger and the clip serves as the clip release switch and drops the clip when the blaster is primed. Like with most clip system blasters, when the blaster is primed forward, the clip release system cannot be used. Due to its power, dart size, and clip capacity, it is a very close competitor to the Magnus.

It advertises a firing range of up to eighty feet (twenty-four meters). European models and other versions where the performance has been numbed advertise a range up to fifty feet (fifteen meters) instead.

History
The Boss was first announced in June of 2015, along with the rest of the Air Max sub-series. The Boss is known as the Air Max 3 in some areas where the blaster's performance has been numbed to meet strict toy regulations.

Modification
Modifying the Boss is not common due to its strong stock performance. Modders may have difficulty even entering the Boss because of the large orange front, a piece which is glued into place. Once this piece is pried off via screwdriver or dremel there is another final screw located underneath the glued area which needs to be removed. Air restrictor removal can be done from here as well as other simple mods such as seal improvements and spring replacements.

Trivia

 * The Boss features a set of "iron sights" on the top of the blaster, though these are too thick to serve any purpose and do not have any accuracy benefits.
