Awsoo Shotguns Gun Toy, Shotgun with Ejecting Shells, Airsoft Shotgun Toy Foam Blaster with 20 Soft Foam Bullets, Birthday for Kids Boys 6+

Usually I follow a pretty standard review format, but this time I'm going to get right to the point, as this thing is super simple.You get the double-barreled dart shooter, 20 darts, 4 shells, and the sight.Put darts in shells. Pop open barrels, one shell in each, close, pull down priming handle. You get 3 choices : you can fire the left barrel by moving the switch left, the right barrel by moving it right, or both at once by leaving it centered. You will have to prime between every shot, so if you're just firing one barrel, all your air is going to it. It does mean that firing a double is a little bit less potent, but not enough that it isn't usable. Then you crack it open to reload, and discover the one possible problem ; the shells eject with a fair bit of force. As you only have 4, you're going to want to be aware of that so you can keep track of them, as they'll be FINE indoors ... but they're a nice dark red, so outdoors they might get harder to spot, especially in a woods type environment.The darts it includes are okay. Not great, not lousy. They're a little shorter than normal name-brand darts, but the normal darts work just fine in there. I did decide to have a little fun with my testing, and also tried using half-length darts. A single half length is workable, and improves the power and accuracy a lot, but the real trick is doubling up the half-lengths. The result is a bit unstable to carry, as the top dart is prone to falling out, but when fired it results in a bit more of a spread and only a slight loss to power and range. Other things I tried were Mega and Ultra type darts. The former *JUST BARELY* failed to load in place of a shell, and the latter could theoretically have shells made for them (if you're so inclined and have a 3d Printer).The gun itself is surprisingly good quality and feels like it will hold up to a fair bit of use. The power behind each shot is also pretty decent based on what I can tell (as I do not have a chronograph handy to actually measure it). It's hitting *above* what the average 'big name brand' dart shooter is, I can say that much.The sight is perfectly 'okay'. Not great, not exactly useful, but it looks decent enough if you want to use it.All told? I like this, and will be entirely happy to use it for plinking around. If I could reliably get more shells for it, I'd actually be happy to use it in more active roles.

The media could not be loaded. When you pick up this shotgun it feels so nice in the hand it has a good weight and the materials feel fantastic. I gave it to my teenager son but I was tempted to keep it because it's just so much fun to use. I would say this is geared toward teens and adults as it is more powerful than any of the nerf dart guns my kids ever had. Also, it is only two shots and then you have to reload so more for like casual use in offices where they allow these kinds of dart guns. If you give this to your kid and the neighbors kid has a rapid fire dart gun... He will probably not be too happy with it. I told my son if he gets bored with it to give it back to me.

Overall this toy gun performs all right. It doesn't have the best distance when firing darts but I feel that the style and look of the toy itself makes up for any performance deficiencies. I love the look of this! I got it because it resembles the super shotgun from the Doom video games. I'm actually going to try and overhaul it to make it even more similar in appearance. Recommend for any Doom fans in your life!

I really did. It's built really solidly and I like that it has the shell ejection. But the cocking mechanism pulls out from the handle making it really unwieldy and just makes for one silly looking toy. The twin barrel functionality has the feeling of being innovative, but just ends up being cumbersome.

This thing has been a total blast. My household is currently all adults, but we have been having so much fun with this thing. It is a complete air powered gun, no need for cartridges at all. You have the action of loading the shells into casings, then loading those casings into the shotgun. The gun will shoot both bullets at the same time or each barrel individually, although, if you shoot both at the same time, you reduce the air pressure to each bullet, and they don't go as far. These do not hurt if you are hit by them. You will know you have been hit but it is not painful. The air pressure isn't that strong. When you eject the casings, they will shoot out to the side, very action movie like! This is labelled as a toy, but if you have adult boys like I do in my house, they will also like this!! Highly recommend for a fun holiday!

My kids love this gun. It comes with shorter versions of the standard Nerf darts. About 3/4 length and packs a pretty good punch especially if you fire both barrels at once. It does shoot the standard size darts also, with more force! We were pleasantly surprised at the excellent quality and feel of this gun. You never know what you will get with off brand guns. The darts do need to be loaded into the shotgun shells to fire. Then the shells eject in dramatic fashion after pressing the switch. Do not lose the shells or you cannot fire the gun. It does come with 4 total. This is now my 13 year old's favorite dart gun. He likes to eject the shells and catch them in one hand to show off after firing. It actually looks pretty cool.

Fun toy gun with a cool color scheme. It fires hard and automatically ejects spent shells when you lower the barrel. Three shooting options. Occasionally the option switch didn't work or I had to turn the shells when inserting them to get them to stay down. Overall, functional and fun. Shouldn't be a disappointment for a kid.

If you're looking for a blaster with style, this is a fun option. The handle/stock feels high quality and the shells are a nice bit of flair when firing and emptying the chambers. All of this comes at a slight cost for performance, with these soft darts leaving fast enough to be functional (and not a dud), but not fast enough to impress. Still, it always depends on what your priority is when pursuing toys like this. There's no question that this has cool factor.
