Don't shoot at point blank range – foam darts are soft, but if you get hit by them at very close range they might sting a little. The darts won't have any chance to slow down in the air, so at that range they'll be hitting you as hard as they can. This USB Desktop Missile Launcher has a built-in webcam and over-Internet control that makes it easy to hit targets at distances up to 25 feet—whether you’re in the room, or 6,000 miles away! You can even direct missile assaults remotely, via Skype and MSN messaging programs. Or keep targets guessing, by handing over command capabilities to anyone on your buddy list. Nobody wants to spend more time fiddling around with their toy gun than playing with it, so we assessed how straightforward each toy was to handle, fire, and reload, and we considered how convenient its capacity was. Fun factor We put up a target and used each toy gun to fire several rounds of foam darts, judging them on how firmly the darts hit the target, and how easily we were able to hit the same spot consistently.

Bungie’s consumer products team and Nerf were waiting for the perfect opportunity to bring something amazing to life from Destiny,” she says. “When we learned that the Gjallarhorn would be returning to Destiny 2, we saw our moment to push the limits and create the ultimate trophy for players and a prized collector’s piece for fans of the franchise.” Bungie also has a history of partnering with other companies to Destiny merch to the Bungie Store that fans would like (like the perpetually sold-out Palladium x Destiny boots,) so it’s no surprise that Nerf would want to bring some classic Destiny weapons to life. Katie Lennox, director of consumer products at Bungie, wouldn’t tell me who approached whom first but did indicate that the partnership was in the works for a while. Don't aim for the head – even if you're wearing protection over your eyes, it can still be quite uncomfortable to get hit by a foam dart around sensitive spots such as your ears or mouth, and your opponents won't thank you for it. Aiming for the torso is the best way to avoid spoiling play, and gives you the best chance of landing a hit. Be mindful of your surroundings – in the chaos of a Nerf vs X Shot battle, it's all too easy to lose sight of trip hazards and other dangers. Be mindful of what's around you during play, and take care to remove as many hazards as possible before you start.

This missile launcher hooks up to your PC or Mac computer using the included USB cable. Then you can control it right there with your computer or from anywhere in the world using the built-in webcam combined with Internet controls. It even allows you to use MSN messenger or Skype to direct the missile assault.
