The tips are designed in such a way that they compress like an accordion on impact. It has a surprisingly crisp trigger pull. The trigger is a hinged lever that actuates the catch release button on the plunger assembly.

If we look down the barrel we can see that the air restrictor isn’t much different from the Nerf equivalent. The tight confines of the frame make it a bit awkward to operate. The pull ring is quite comfortable, however… This is what the blaster looks like when assembled. The barrel is solvent welded to the plunger housing, so removing the AR would take a bit of work. It is released when the recessed button on the back plate is pressed. I don’t know how well it would hold up to a spring upgrade. It is the same dimensions as a standard K’Nex rod. The spring is respectable for a stock spring. The o-ring looks good, and gets a decent seal. Inside we have a modestly sized plunger tube, and an air restrictor. The back plate is held on with four screws, similar to a Nerf Jolt. Here is a closer look at the plunger/barrel assembly. It fits well in my average sized hand, but it may be uncomfortable for those with larger hands. The grip is ergonomically shaped, if a bit thin. Inside the box we find a box of darts, an instruction booklet, an assortment of standard K’Nex parts, the plunger/barrel assembly, and the grip. The back of the box shows the blaster’s features, as well as a few of the other blasters in the line. The front of the box is claiming “up tp 75ft” ranges. Here is my review of the K’Nex K-Force Mini Cross. I snagged one of the inexpensive models out of curiosity. The other day I happened across some K-Force products at my local Toys ‘R’ Us.
