I picked up a new SurgeFire from Wal-Mart yesterday, at what I assume to be a sale price of just under $38 CAD. I hadn’t seen any news about this, so I was kind of surprised to see it. On the other hand, I reasoned that Hasbro must have seen X-Shot sell piles of Turbo Advances for super cheap, and maybe they wanted to get in on some of that action. Too bad, the value factor doesn’t even come close.

Ah well, the underhand prime with pump grip is loads of fun. Both trigger and priming handles are very comfortable. Styling is obviously influenced by the RotoFury. Alas, I stared disappointedly as my darts sank low for a total max range of about twenty feet.

Has anybody ever determined for sure whether Canadian-market blasters are identical in power to American ones?
