Sidewinder (Ultra-Tek)

The Sidewinder is a Buzz Bee blaster that was released in 2015 under the Ultra-Tek sub-series.

It comes packaged with a thirty dart drum, two connector pieces, thirty Long Distance Darts, and instructions.

Details
The Sidewinder is a blaster that uses a variation of HAMP-action similar to slam fire to fire. It comes with a removable thirty dart drum which is currently not compatible with any other blasters. While it may appear to have a firing trigger, the trigger itself is non-functional and is instead a false trigger. A jam door is found on the left side of the blaster to help in the event of a jam.

An interesting feature of the blaster is its firing mechanism, which does not rely on spring or air power to fire. Instead, the priming mechanism also acts as a plunger, and upon reaching the farthest back position, the Side Winder will fire.

It advertises a firing range of up to seventy-two feet (twenty-one meters).

History
The Ultra-Tek Sidewinder is a re-release of the 2013 Air Warriors Side Winder. It was later re-released back into the Air Warriors series, as well as the Adventure Force Firestreak.

Color schemes
The Sidewinder has been released with the following color schemes:


 * Gray, light blue, and orange
 * Blue, yellow, and orange

Trivia

 * The Side Winder and Sidewinder have interchangeable connector pieces, but the drums are not interchangeable. The newer Sidewinder drum has the same capacity and diameter, but is taller than the original Side Winder drum.
