Air Hogs Apache Havoc Helicopter
This thing is great. They are really simple to fly. Up/Down Left/Right when you turn them they go in that direction and forward or back depending on the rotation. Once I got use to how it handles, I got frustrated with how it flies forward while turning, so I put three thumb tacks in it's nose. Now it's always flying forward, to hover I just have to put it in a spin. I bought two more and all day Yesterday my friends and I were playing helicopter Joust.
These things don't break. You can rip them, but a little Scotch tape and they are back in the sky.
The only bad thing about them is there is only 3 channels so you can only have three in the sky at a time.

Depends on which you're talking about. They operate on IR (from the controller to the Heli) and they have an IR "gun" pointed out the front of the heli that you can shoot at your opponents with. Getting hit will cause you to spin for a few seconds to show that you've been shot.
Dartful Dodger:
They have battle Apaches which come in a two helicopter set that can shoot at each other. I don't think the individual helicopters have the light guns though.
Crashwg have you used the battle Apaches? The ones I have are really hard straighten out, I can't imagine having to line up a shot at another one.
crashwg:
Is there triggers (like L & R on a playstation controller) on the remote? Those are what you fire with so if you've got them then you can probably shoot. If you do, an additional test you could do would be to look at the front of the heli through a digi or video cam's viewfinder while pressing the fire button to see if there is a IR light there.
I'm sure you're right though. I haven't looked into them close enough to see that there's different models.
