Skywin Toy Action Set for Play Games – Remote Control Included, Compatible with Foam Blasters (Green)

This was supposed to be our big win for Christmas and instead it ended up in tears. We got two uses out of it before it broke. We also weren’t able to allow our kids to set it up on their own because it was so difficult that they would have hurt themselves. We used it on a soft surface, had adults do the set up and followed all the instructions and were left incredibly disappointed

I was incredibly surprised with the quality of this product. The spring inside is insanely powerful and the little basin that holds the gel balls is incredibly convenient to access. I used the product with yellow rubber balls and gel balls with great success. I wouldn’t expect this to particularly hurt anyone when the claymore goes off. However, the sound of the loud spring along with the onslaught of gellets catches people by surprise and creates a super memorable reaction. A couple things to note: Since the spring is so strong, it takes a pretty strong hand to hold it down to set the claymore up. You fold both sides of the spring down and raise the plastic up which can be slightly awkward and difficult. I don’t imagine most adults to struggle with this, but children under 15 may need some help. The claymores response to the remote is pretty finicky. And because the spring is so powerful, you really don’t want to attempt to open an already loaded claymore to restart the unit. I believe the setup that has had the remote work most consistent for me was to ensure the claymore/remote was powered off and on with every use. Loading with the foam/rubber balls is slightly more difficult because you need to close the claymore with the products inside. However, gel balls can be loaded in with a feeder which makes it a bit easier. Granted, you still really need to jam the gels in with your finger, it proves to be much easier. Overall, the product is great and I really enjoy having it for wars. A few caveats that make it relatively difficult to use for some age ranges. However, teens and adults will have a great time.

Lots of fun surprised my kids and had some laughs

My son is living his best Nerf (and fake Nerf) life with every imaginable contraption that could explode and cause a flurry of destruction and chaos. This contraption didn’t work - complete waste of money.

Fun concept, and it works! Unsure why all the marketing features little kids when it is labeled 14+.... There are some things I would redesign. 1. Put the power switch on the outside of the mechanism so you can turn it off without having to reload everything 2. The tiny pellets provided just fall out of the thing when you load them: they aren't useful and just get everywhere. If ammunition is provided, it should be bigger. I found crumpled paper to work quite well. 3. Getting the remote pairing right is difficult and the remote range is short. There's no reason for this.
