The Blastercorn, a toy gun made for us!

[Casey Pones 192]

Last night I was playing some YouTube videos on my phone and an ad started playing. Apparently a toy company called Zuru has just made a pair of alicorn foam-dart guns!

Behold the Blastercorns!

 

At first I was 100% sure it was an ad for Fortnight, it looked just like a skin they would have introduced and it even the actions of the characters looked like a typical videogame.

I've never owned or played with foam-dart guns in my life but I've decided to get one of these for my birthday. If nothing else it'll be a great conversation starter at MLP meet-ups and conventions! By the way, did you know that the reason toy guns always have an orange muzzle is because it's required by law to show police it's not a real gun? Notice the orange horns. I think it's kind of funny they still have to add them to indicate this is toy gun. And I like how they actually made it work with this design.

This thing looks so fun and funny! I gotta get me one of these! Even the wings work! I like foam missile guns but they never had this kind of style and silliness. I’m all in.

Here's a perfect lightsaber for the job! (Not quite as good as the real thing).

The foam is strong with this one.

I was in a toy shop the other day, and they had these foam headed javelins that I thought could make a great addition to a foam war.

I wish I could've gotten a picture. I'm guessing they're made by a local start up because their display case was made of laser cut wood, but they used like 3 foot long and inch and a half across of clear yellow plastic tubing for the body so it'd be light but rigid, and a black bulbous foamed head with a rounded tip that widened at the middle to about 2.5 inches, then narrowed back, maybe sticking a quarter inch away from the body. I've seen some that were basically pool noodles and has had various rocket launchers, but this thing looked like it could really fly.

Edit: Found it! Not local to me, but looks like they're small and have only been around a couple years.

"Who cares about dumb unicorns anyway?"

You're the one who's dumb, calling it a unicorn when it's clearly an alicorn.

UPDATE.

I just got my blastercorn today and I am blown away with it's fire power!

I've never had anything like an x-shot or nerf before, the toy guns of my youth were probably powered by a rubber band and had hardly any range to speak of.

But this thing, I can sit at the and of my living room and fire through the kitchen door, hit the kitchen wall and it still has enough reach to keep going!

Zipp Storm and Rainbow Dash were somehow blessed with a gun for an offspring...
