That's just creepy looking...
It doesn't look like the handle would be big enough for an adult's hand.

And the wire is sticking out the TOP!!!

WTF?

But it sounds like it functions similarly to the Act-Labs gun... Glad to see that more people are paying attention to the PC Gun market... I guess...
I'm not a freak!...
Oh wait...

Yeah! What he said.

Green too. I've seen alot of blue themed cabs around here. You know what they say - "blue and green should never been seen together except in the wash". Other something like that.

Well does this new company have a web site, a launch date, etc?

That cord looks to me like it's made to carry water.  Look at how it attaches to the gun.  I think that's a water gun and the cord hooks to a big tank that you where on your back.

What a bad design.  Cord out the top, can't aim it.

Those come in 3 packs at the walmart.  The blank little finger grip under the "Barrel" is a pump to pump water.

 :D

The wire is at the top as you are meant to hold the gun sideway when you shoot.... hollywood style....

okay... maybe not... :P

Unless my sense of scale is way off, this thing is large!

Looks to me like it's meant to fired from the hip, but it's hard to tell without a size reference in there.

If it was meant to be held that way, that might explain the cord position.

I really don't have too much info.  I got it from this guy: kudawg@cox.net   I think this maybe a fake.  I wouldnt hold my breath.  Email him with questions.

Yeah I have to agree that thing looks horrid!  :o
And I also think that that thing is huge, looks like its made for a two hand grip, with one hand under the barrel.
Well if their dirt cheap......  :P .... No....
