The Covert Squad is a Buzz Bee blaster that was released in 2018 under the Air Warriors series. It requires three "AA" batteries for its integrated radio to be operated.
It comes packaged with two Covert Squad blasters, two pair of earbuds, and eight Long Distance Darts.
Details
The Covert Squad is a bolt-action blaster similar to previous Buzz Bee blasters, such as the Carnivore and the Predator. It features an integrated shoulder stock and an accessory rail.
Its main feature is its walkie talkie integrated into the shoulder stock. This includes a push-to-talk button, a power switch, a two-channel selector, an integrated speaker, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, which the included earbuds can be plugged into. With headphones plugged into the jack, sound will come through those instead of through the speaker; the speaker itself is poor quality and any messages received through it will be muddled and hard to make out. Like other walkie talkies, the Covert Squad will cause feedback if two blasters are too close together.
It advertises a firing range of up to a hundred feet (thirty meters). The radios advertise a maximum range of up to three hundred feet (ninety-one meters).
