So I'm standing in the toy isle, looking at the AlphaHawk, then glancing at the LongArm. I'll admit the AlphaHawk looks more like a rifle, and the LongArm looks more like a pistol, albeit a very long one. But the A-Hawk stock is so short that a guy like me would be compelled to fire it like an SMG rather than a rifle. Maybe I'm wrong.

My point is, they're functionally the same. I wouldn't call the A-Hawk a reshell, because I don't think they share the same internals. But looking at them from a "form vs. function" point of view,  I'm not seeing a significant difference.

And frankly, for a five shot blaster of that size, I think you'd do just as well with a StrongArm or Disruptor. Heck, a $20 Stryfe from Target is a better deal, in my opinion. (I was going to say RapidStrike, but dayum, they got expensive since X-max)

Anyway, I'm just struck by the similarities between these two, and how low the ammo capacity is for the size of the blaster. Reminds me of the single shot Stats Blast Destroyer.
