The Big Blast is powered by a compressed air system (like the smaller Mega Missile) and its sleek black casing houses a large pressure chamber. This is filled via a rear handle with full pump travel. It will require around 14-15 pumps to fill up the pressure tank.
It comes packaged with 2 x foam missiles with stabilizer fins, and these foam missiles can be fired to a distance of around 25-30 feet. If aimed at a higher trajectory, distances of up to 35+ feet can be quite easily attained too.
Watch where you shoot those foam missiles though, they have enough mass to knock small objects off your desk! :)
Note: There is now a new version for 2009, check it out Here.

How strong is this compared to a titan?
ReplyDeleteNot as powerful, its overall size and air tank is smaller. The average firing distance of the Big Blast is around half that of the Titan.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I have downstairs Nerf wars with my friend sometimes and I like to use the Titan to Break down his fort.

ReplyDeleteweaponhazard,
ReplyDeleteThe black-coloured version of the Buzz Bee Big Blast is an older version thats not avaliable in stores anymore.
It has since been replaced by the newer green-coloured version.
