Marshmallow Crossbow Review!

I bought this with the intention of modding it to shoot darts, but I decided I would do a review of it in it's stock form first. So here we go:
The marshmallow crossbow is actually powered by the bow arms, unlike other similar blasters like the Nerf Big Bad Bow that use spring plunger systems and have bow parts that are only for decoration. It has a breech in the very front where large marshmallows are loaded into. You then close the breech, prime the blaster by pulling the priming handle back, and pull the trigger to fire. It has quite a bit of power to it. Here are some pictures:

Breech closed:
Breech Open:
Ranges (it claims ranges up to 30 feet):
Parralel to ground: 18-22 feet
Angled to ground: All landed within a foot of the 25 foot mark

*Note- Your results may vary depending on brand of marshmallows used, age of the marshmallows used (mine were quite old and starting to get stale), and weather conditions (Heat may affect bow arms and marshmallows, wind may affect ranges). Also, Performance decreases somewhat noticably every time you re- use a marshmallow due to the marshmallow changing shape when being chambered and fired.

Overall, I think it's a really cool blaster. It's fun and comfortable to use, and it performs well for a marshmallow shooter.
