The Ultimate In Fun, The Bullsharc GL-8

Ok, Hascorp seems to be focusing on blasters that are fun to use, and not on practicality. Honestly, the Doominator is overkill to the 100th power!
Also, they seem to be building more blasters that use Demolisher grinades (missiles). Seriously, are we interested in pneumatic blasters that have no real control? NO!!!
Hascorp, here's an idea; how about you try combining fun, overkill, and those Demolisher missiles? How? I'll show you after the big drop!

Guys, raise your hand if you remember the old N-Strike video game series. Good.
Now, keep it raised if you remember the Bullsharc GL-1 from game 1 or the Hammerhead GL-8 from game 2. Good.
If you still have your hand raised, you might have an idea what this post is about. You can put your hands down now.
For the rest of you, let me enlighten you. The Bullsharc and the Hammerhead are pretty much the same thing, the Nerf counterpart to the Milkor 40MM grenade revolver, A.K.A. the War Machine.





Ok, now you have an idea of what I'm talking about, let me tell you how it would work. It would essentially be a Dart-Tag Swarmfire, but firing larger slugs from a 8-round cylinder. It would still be full-auto, but with a much lower cyclic rate.
However, it really should have a manual mode, so that it could be used without batteries.
Maybe, this could come with a reinforced Spectre stock! Just a thought.

Why should Hascorp make this? Think about it. This is ridiculously overkill, the kiddies will love it. Also, the projectiles will be so big that injuries would be much less of a concern. Why is that?

Say you have a Demolisher missile and an Elite dart, both flying towards their targets with 200 pounds of force. The impact will have pressure measured in pounds per square inch. The Demolisher missile has a larger surface area than the Elite dart. I will arbitrarily say that the Demolisher missile tip has 9 pi square inches of surface-area, while the Elite dart tip has 0.25 pi square inches.
The Demolisher missile will hit with ~0.70 psi, while the Elite dart will hit with 26 psi.
Which would hurt more? The Elite Dart will hurt more!.

The only injuries caused by a stock Bullsharc GL-8 that I can forsee would be some kid dropping it on his foot, or some fool meleeing with it. The impact of the former could be minimized by using C-cell batteries, but there's nothing that could minimize the latter.

Modders, think about it: if this could automatically fire Demolisher missiles to ~75 feet, how far could it get Elite darts? Stefans? Seriously, this would be the ideal sniper weapon with a little tinkering.

Ridiculous overkill:         Check
Outrageous grinades:         Check
Mostly Harmless:             Check
Absolute blast:                 Check
Potential for brutal mod:    Check

Recommended price: $40.00

What's not to love about this?

In fact, it's what Awesomely Nerf had asked for!

What do you think? Good? Bad? Ugly? Comment, please.
