Details[]
The Tricera-Blast is a hammer-action blaster that holds up to three darts at a time. As its name suggests, it is based on the Triceratops genus of dinosaurs.
The blaster features a break-action mechanism that reveals the inner barrels that darts are loaded into. Unlike other blasters, where this mechanism is actuated by a trigger or lever, the Tricera-Blast's is pulled down by manual force. The three barrels use intelligent air restrictors, allowing a single dart to be fired out of any of the three chambers if the blaster is not fully loaded.
It also features an integrated shoulder stock, where up to twelve additional darts can be stored.
