ToysmithZip Shot Shooter (7-Inch)

I had a battery operated dart toy when I was younger (it quit working ages ago.) Happily, this one is battery-LESS, so literally just aim and pull the switch! The darts are very light and disc-shaped, so it's nigh on impossible to damage anything indoors. On the flip side, it sometimes misfires due to the spring-catch no grabbing a disc, and it won't fire vertically (just horizontally.)

Llegó abierto y empolvado. Hace mucho ruido al disparar pero cumple su función.

bought for a decent price of $11.24 but a week later it cost $35. broke after a few days of use.

The toy launcher itself feels sturdy, it's like something made by a reputable company, with few sharp burrs and unfinished edges. The foam discs are very soft and won't damage anything.When it works, the discs fly maybe 2 rooms worth of distance, it's plenty to keep some cats entertained. They don't care about how accurate your shooting is, they just want to see something fast they can chase.And yes, I said "when it works". The problem is the toy jams way too much so you have to fish out all the discs in the chamber and reload. It's a simple, easy to operate mechanism, you just pull the trigger and it automatically launches a disc, but despite that it's not reliable. You can mitigate the jams a little by shooting slowly and keeping the launcher perfectly level, but they'll still happen. I wonder if using stiffer foam discs would help.Another annoying thing is how loud the hard plastic SNAP! sound is when it launches a disc. If you have skittish cats they may not like this toy.

Wanted to try something different for my cats and they love running and finding them. Or just watching the chaos as the little foam discs for flying around the room.
