The Nerf Stampede is the latest installment in Nerf’s latest product line that was released in 2008. It is a fully automatic gun that can fire several foam darts per second. It’s also a lot more practical and easy to use than its predecessor, the Vulcan!

The Nerf Stampede is the first Nerf gun to feature a clip system that’s fully automatic! 3 specially designed extended clips and 1 clip for quick reload will be included in the box! The extended clips can hold up to18 darts each! The package contains a total 60 foam Nerf darts!

The Nerf Stampede comes with some accessories that will give you an edge over your enemies! It features a detachable shield which can be attached anywhere on your gun’s tactical rail. The shield features a visor to avoid limiting your visibility while still protecting you from enemy fire! It is a bit flimsy however but will provide you with more than adequate protection from Nerf darts! It also comes with a pop-out bipod that can be attached to its bottom! When deployed, it will steady the gun and improve your aim!

The Nerf Stampede needs 6 ‘D’ batteries to work and because of that, it weighs around 5.5 lbs which can be a bit heavy for smaller kids. Your children will no doubt enjoy endless hours of fun in your garden or back yard playing with this toy gun!

Like all Nerf products, the Stampede is perfectly safe and getting hit with one of its darts, doesn’t hurt at all! It has a range of up to 50 ft, if it’s on the correct angle and the wind is favorable! If fired while pointing pointed horizontally the dart can travel as far as 30ft If you point it at a 90 degree angle, it can shoot a dart up to 40 ft! Finally, unlike previous models like the Vulcan the Nerf Stampede will never jam!

There are a few drawbacks to it though. First of all, you will need a lot of batteries to keep it working since it does nothing without them! Also, foam darts can get lost very easily, but replacement darts are available. Finally, the Nerf Stampede can be a bit on the expensive side compared to other toy guns on the market and even other Nerf guns!

Products for personal protection and personal security like stun gun, pepper spray, tasers and personal alarms have zoomed into prominence in the last decade or so because of their continued success with law enforcement and the continued increase in street crime. It is just an unfortunate fact that women are targets of crime by a huge margin over men.

Everything from assault, domestic violence to rape, robbery to home invasions, car jackings and more have women at risk and under stress. They fear for their own safety. Knowing how vulnerable you are is the first step in building a strategy for self defense. If you tell yourself that you are not going to be the next victim you are on the right track.

You can build your confidence in your ability to defend yourself by learning some basic self defense skills like Jeet Kune Do (JKD) which will get you out of most nasty situations you may run across. The next thing you can do is get some self defense tools to level the playing field.

Self defense products are meant to give you time to get away from a dangerous situation and seek help. Stun guns are one of the most effective tools for self defense there is and the hot shot is one of the best stun guns.

It is 975,000 volts in a package smaller than the palm of your hand which makes it easy to conceal. Stun guns are 86% effective. They cause the muscles to work rapidly depleting them of blood sugars needed for energy.

A three to five second blast from this baby will cause an attacker to curl up in a ball leaving him unable to do anything for 3-4 minutes-just enough time to get away.

Knowing how stun devices work helps build confidence-enough confidence to help you stay cool in a time of crisis.

The Hot Shot will keep you cool and protect your loved ones and you from assaults and other street crime. When are you getting one?

The airsoft machine guns combines proven capability with modern technology, creating one awesome gun. Airsoft machine guns are used by the military and police force in training exercises, and competitive players who just want to have some fun.

Airsoft is a game played in a rather large, open area. The purpose of the game is almost like paintball, the only difference is, you can’t really tell who’s been hit. The guns used are so detailed that even the trained eye of a police officer can mistake it for the real thing.

Airsoft guns can be categorized into three areas, air, gas, and electric guns. All airsoft guns shoots BB’s that can travel anywhere from 200 to 400 feet per second. The manuverability of the gun is outstanding, making it very functional to use. The feel of the gun is great, not too heavy, weighing in at no more than a mere five pounds. The airsoft machine gun also comes equipped with an adjustable grip, making it comfortable to hold and shoot.

The rate of fire is outstanding, making it easy to shoot the gun with one hand while getting another magazine from your pocket. The accuracy of the airsoft machine gun is adjustable and the velocity is pretty good as well. Making sure that you keep your gun clean wil lead to better performance and a longer life. As with any gun, always remember to follow the specific safety rules, it is always a good idea to wear goggles when operates a airsoft gun.

Now that society is slowly becoming a breeding place for crimes and random attacks, there is nothing more important than being able to take care of ourselves and our family. To do that, you must be equipped with the knowledge on how to defend yourself in times of being attacked. Carrying self defense devices has proven to be one of the most effective methods of protecting yourself from attackers especially if you know how to efficiently use your chosen device.

A stun gun is a non-lethal, electroshock device that uses electricity to immobilize an attacker and temporarily incapacitate him. It works to disrupt the brain’s communication with the muscular and nervous system thus making muscles work all at the same time and at a state of confusion. When this happens, your attacker will lose his balance and control. He could drop to the ground and you can immediately flee and ask for help.

Stun gun is one of the most effective and easiest to use self defense items that you can carry everywhere you go, in accordance of course with your state laws. Street crimes are most common nowadays leaving victims dead or seriously injured and it does not and will not exclude you. With this device, you have the option to survive. When buying one, there are several factors you need to consider- the laws of your state regarding its use, the size of the gun, and the voltage, among others. Let’s talk about the voltage.

Most people would say that the higher the voltage, the most powerful your device will be. That is true in most cases. If a gun has a higher voltage, it can cause more immediate pain at the point of contact, and it can work a bit faster and quicker for subduing your attacker. Also, a higher voltage gun will emit a much superior and intimidating crackling sound that will scare off an attacker more often than not.

However, the voltage that a stun gun conveys is not essentially the most important aspect in whether or not a device is effective. An 80,000-volt gun can be just as effective as a 4.5 million volt gun, as long as you know how to properly use your device. Delivery is just as important (or even more important) than the voltage itself. Even if you have in your hand the highest voltage gun ever known to mankind, it will not generate a positive result if you do not know how to use it. To be effective, you need to know what part of the body is most vulnerable and will be most affected. Remember that a lower voltage device with a better manner of release may be more successful than the device with higher voltage aimed improperly.

Stun guns will work to your advantage if you know the concept behind it and its proper usage. Constant practice usually does the trick. And more importantly, do not panic. It would be very difficult especially if the element of surprise is used by the attacker, but you need not fear. After all, you have one of the best weapons on hand.

A cool product that has been on the market for some time now is the Hot Shot stun gun made by Stun Master products. This nice little stun gun is very small and compact and is very easily concealable.

By the looks of this stun gun, one would think that it is a little Palm Pilot, a Blackberry, or a tiny hand phaser from Star Trek: The Original Series.

The dimensions of this little tool are 3.5″ long by 2.5″ wide by 1″ in thickness. This black box gadget puts out a WHOPPING 975,000 volts. That is nearly 1 million volts! This is clearly a high output stun gun. It puts out more voltage than the police issue M-18 Taser used by law enforcement professionals.

This product’s dimensions are about as small as a 10-pack of cigarettes and can fit easily in one’s shirt pocket. The Hot Shot runs on three CR123A (size) lithium 3 V batteries which are included in this set.

The unit comes equipped with a safety switch on the lateral aspect of the box and an illuminated red light that notifies you that the weapon is ready to do some damage to the unsuspecting perpetrator.

A stainless steel belt clip is found on the back of the unit so that you can mount it on your belt.

This machine can provide the perfect element of surprise to your attacker who thinks about messing with you. Just a brief push of the trigger button can fire up a loud warning shock to tell your attacker to back off.

The physiological effects of this product include:

1. some pain, muscular contraction, and shock when applied for ½ second,
2. more muscular contractions and a dazed mental state when applied for 1-2 seconds,
3. and finally, loss of balance and muscle control, and absolute mental disorientation and confusion. He will be dazed and peeing in his pants by the time he hits the ground.

At no time, will the user such as yourself feel any electric shock when applying this unit to your attacker. Even if he is holding you, the electricity will not pass into your body…only through his.

The Hot Shot comes with a Lifetime Warranty and is not intended to be used on children as a control device. It is not recommended that you discipline your children with this or any other type of stun gun. So keep it out of reach of children.

As with any stun gun, never press the trigger button for more than 1 second at a time because you may damage the internal circuitry and void the warranty. The probes on the stun gun must be applied on the suspect during firing.

Do not test this unit on yourself! I tried doing that one time on my thigh, and I got a sudden knee-jerk reaction. It was a big surprise for me to see how powerful this thing can put out. I then tested it out on my stomach, and I immediately had to go to the toilet. I don’t recommend that you use this for treating constipation.

Do not test it out on your friends, even if it is a joke. This tool like any other stun gun will hurt and incapacitate him.

Stay safe from crime.

When it comes to protecting yourself there is a sea of choices out there. The question is why most people choose not to protect themselves. Let’s be honest the world today is not the safe place we like to imagine it. With personal and property crime rising at an alarming rate there is no reason not to protect yourself. Crime is present in ever last community in the United States and it doesn’t discriminate by age, race, or gender.

This does not imply that everyone needs to build their own bunker and prepare for the Apocalypse. It means everyone should take a few simple steps to ensure the safety of your family, your home, and yourself. This doesn’t require anything drastic like taking martial arts classes or a home security makeover. It can be as easy as carrying a bottle of pepper spray or keeping your windows locked.

The fact is, most people don’t protect themselves due to lack of education around the subject. The reason for this stems from a preexisting mindset that most believe. This comes back to the majority of people thinking it involves long hard hours taking self defense classes or a very costly security system. Well the world needs to know this could not be further from the truth. In fact some of the items that will keep you safe do not require a single penny.

Let’s start with keeping yourself safe. This is easiest out of all the different types of safety and security. Honestly, there is massive amount of different products and techniques for keeping yourself safe. Some of the most coming is to use self defense weapons. These include items such as pepper spray and stun guns. These are the ones you will hear about most often.

Let’s start with pepper spray. This is the most effective and least problematic out of most self defense products. Pepper spray comes in many shapes and sizes that all carry a powerful punch. The main ingredient is Oleoresins Capsicum which is more commonly referred to as red pepper. A short 1-3 second burst will bring almost anyone to their knees. The best part is this incredible stopping power can be used at a range of up to 10 feet. There is no question why pepper spray is the number one choice for college students and women. All that power on top of being super easy to find and purchase makes pepper spray a tough contender in the world of self defense products.

Another heavy weight contender is a stun gun. These bad boys mean business and any criminal caught on the wrong end of one of these will not last long. Most stun guns deliver a low amperage high voltage shock that completely disorientates the nervous system. The units can range from 20k volts all the way up to 1 million volts. They are inexpensive to buy and come in many shapes and sizes.

Most people believe they are extremely dangerous and pose a risk to anyone they are used on. This is just a myth. They are not 100% safe , but hey neither is your dinner fork. Most police officers carry stun guns and most law enforcement agencies require all officers that carry them to experience them. This is on top of the hundreds of criminals that meet the business end of stun guns every year. The reported injuries by stuns guns is very low, making them a safe means of protecting yourself.

Rifling entered the scene in the mid-1800’s as a way to improve the firing capabilities of cannons. Cannon balls were not perfect spheres. It was believed that the natural spinning of the balls as they were fired from the cannon decreased the accuracy of the shot. Linear grooves were milled into the inside of the cannon. These grooves reduced spin and greatly increased the accuracy of cannons. It wasn’t long before the concept of rifling was incorporated into other areas of ballistics.

Today, rifling is used widely in many industries. Many guns use a helix-shaped pattern cut into the interior bore of the barrel. The pattern twists at a certain rate down the barrel length controlling not only spin but also the rate of spin. The spin causes a gyroscopic effect on the projectile which aids in stabilizing and controlling the flight path. The debate of rifling in paintball is a heated one. Some say it does not work while others will not use anything other than a rifled barrel. There are really three schools of thought at work when is comes to paintball barrel design.

Polished Barrels – The first concept involves the inner polished barrel in which no rifling is present. These barrels are believed to create a smooth surface which reduces drag on the paintball. This is believed to reduce ball breaks and help to maintain longer distances. Most of the barrels in paintball are nonrifled. They are micro-honed and polished to a mirror like appearance. Polished barrels are typically cheaper in price with some exceptions.

No Spin Rifling – The second concept involves rifling in such a way that spin is minimized. Much like the cannon ball, linear grooves are cut down the inner bore of the barrel. The linear grooves grab the ball and restrict spin. Manufactures that use linear rifling do so based on the fact that paintballs are not perfect spheres. Also, the inside of a paintball is never completely filled with paint; therefore spin could create a very sporadic flight pattern.

Spin Rifling – This concept uses helical grooves that twist down the length of the barrel. But unlike the linear grooves, helical grooves create and control rates of spin. The spin is believed to aid in controlling the flight pattern and help resist outside factors that may disrupt or alter the flight path.

So does rifling to stop or create spin work well in paintball? The reality is all barrel designs have produced models that are extremely accurate reaching long distances. One common element in all barrels’ success is paint size and quality. Purchase the highest quality paintballs that you can afford. Better quality paint is more consistent in size. Quality control also extends to the roundness of the balls. Paintballs that are matched to fit barrel bore size is also key to success. Matching them correctly yields a more accurate, consistent shot.

If you are looking to make that initial investment for your favorite sport, namely a paintball gun, options will include several under $150, even some good models under $100. Don’t get burned buying junk gun. If you plan to get your gun used, be sure to do your research. Know what you are buying and know how the gun was used by its prior owner.

If you are looking to buy your gun new, here are a few options under $100. First, the -Kingman Spyder TL-X is a reasonably accurate shot, is easy to use and clean. It has smooth trigger pull, accuracy, efficient gas use and is reliable.

Second is the Kingman Spyder Sonix 2005. The Sonix is a reliable, reasonably priced gun that does not chop. This gun can be good without adding upgrades, but with some upgrades, this gun can be made into a great gun.

Third, the Viewloader VL Maxis is a reasonably priced gun. This gun shoots very well and does not chop. The Maxis is a great gun for beginners but can be upgraded into a superior weapon.

Fourth is the Kingman Spyder Victor II. The Victor II is reliable in the field, is easy to clean and is a decent shot. It is also dependable and comfortable. However, the stock barrel is short and not extremely accurate. After replacing the stock barrel, the Victor II can stand up to its opponents.

If you are willing to spend a little more money on your gun, there are some good options under $150. First is the Tippmann Triumph XT. It is has rubberized grips, an expansion chamber and is very balanced. It is lighter than the other Tippmanns and has the same internals as the Custom 98. But, it has plastic construction and a complicated disassembly.

Second, the Armotech Mars LT is a lightweight, good gun for beginners. The Mars LT does not require any upgrades. It is easy to clean and maintain. But, if you are going up against a high end mechanical or electronic gun, the Mars LT will have some stiff competition.

Third is the Avalon GT Commando 3. The Commando 3 looks sharp, shoots accurately, reasonably priced and is built well. The regulator on this model can be temperamental. It can also leak CO2 and requires new o-rings often.

Fourth, the Mokal Fokus VX 2k3 is balanced, has a good barrel, good internals and good grips. It is also easy to maintain and clean. It may be a little hard on the CO2 and require o-ring replacement. But overall, a good buy.

The above list is just a short review of a selected number of markers. The markers above were chosen only for their price and not for any certain feature or to play favorites with any company. If you have more specific questions regarding the model you may be interested in, be sure to do your homework, try them out, borrow a friend’s marker and ask your fellow players.

When it comes to toy guns, they are really no toys at all. Some can cause some serious harm and you should be careful with any type of airsoft gun, BB gun or paintball gun. Airsoft guns are made to resemble the likeness of a real gun. You should be careful with the way you present yourself with an Airsoft gun. They can easily be mistaken for a real gun and you may end up getting hurt and whatnot because of the way you acted while holding the gun. An airsoft gun was made not to have the intention on serious hurting someone. They cannot kill anyone, but they will cause the skin to bleed or break open if it hits the flesh.

Airsoft guns came from Japan. Guns are illegal in the country of Japan and the people wanted to have a gun of their own, so the airsoft gun as developed. It is legal in other countries like the United States, Indonesia, and Hong Kong. They are easily mistaken for a real gun and because of that fact; United States placed a law that any airsoft gun had to have an orange colored tip so that people can tell if it is a real gun or a pellet gun. Even though pellet guns aren’t real guns, remember, pellet guns can still hurt, so you should never shoot at another person.

When it comes to airsoft guns you will want to educate yourself on the types of guns and the type of BBs that you can get for them. The standard pellet sizes for airsoft guns are 6mm. There are several different types of BB pellets. The normal pellet for a standard airsoft gun is plastic and a .2g BB and a plastic .25g BB. You can get other weights for them too. The reason why you will find heavier pellets is so that your accuracy is better. The heavier the pellet the better shot you can have.

Even though you have accuracy, you have to consider that the weight of your pellet will determine the distance it can go. The heavier the pellet the less distance it will travel. This is your basic physics.

Heavy pellets lose velocity compared to the lighter ones. You should try a few weights and different BBs to find out what pellet is best for you and your airsoft gun. You need to find a pellet that you are comfortable with. The sizes that you have to choose from at .12g, .20g, .23g, .25g, .30g, .36g, .39g, and 43g. The higher weight you have the better it will be for outdoor use, but take in consideration the travel distance and wind before shooting your gun. You can find out more information of the pellets when you go to a store to purchase them or online.

The M16A3 airsoft gun is a precise duplication of the popular assault rifle that is currently used in the US Marines. It generally comes with a full stash and normally would not require any big battery packs to work. The charging handle in an m16 airsoft gun provides it with a realistic action that most highly-priced guns such as the CA are not capable of.

The m16 airsoft guns are entirely upgradeable and are very compatible with almost any airsoft internal and external parts that are available in the market. These types of air soft guns include a metal magazine and can also be matched with any brand of either standard or high capacity market gun magazines. The M16A3 air soft gun is a must-have for anyone who is searching for the best priced beginner’s armor.

Its main body is literally made of plastic and its stock practically removable. The M16A3 airsoft gun is ideal for rapid fire cocking aimed from the hip and its barrel can extend several distances from the hand guard. The M16A3 airsoft gun’s magazines are of 18 BBs. Its clip is generally filled from a compartment that can hold 300 to 500 BBs. The magazine is very durable as it is basically made from metal.

The M16A3 airsoft gun has a LED illuminator that can be very useful from a distance of up to 6 feet. Its LED flashlight is very helpful, particularly in lowlight settings, as it is capable of increasing the visibility of the holder’s view and effectively blinds and distracts opponents. The M16A3 airsoft gun has a hole in its carrying handle which enables the user to mount a red dot scope.

The basic operation of an M16A3 airsoft gun involves pulling back its cock lever located just right behind the grip or carrying handle. Despite the fact that this gun has a fire selector that is equipped with semi and fully automated selections, the lever still has to be pulled back. It is equipped with two types of sights-the lower and the higher sight. You can use the higher sight for distant shots and the lower one for closer aims. Although the M16A3 airsoft gun lacks the certain hop up, this gun still fires quite far. Its longest shot can reach about 30 to 40 feet.

The M16A3 airsoft gun is quite good for combating and will definitely outwit most traditional spring pistols when it comes to range and accuracy of fires.
