    There are people who, disturbed by “big government” today and its tendency to curb the advantages they might gain if their competitiveness were allowed free flow, demand “less govern- ment.” Alas, there is no such thing as less government, merely changes in government. If the libertarians had their way, the distant bureaucracy would vanish and the local bully would be in charge. Personally, I prefer the distant bureaucracy, which may not find me, over the local bully, who certainly will. And all historical precedent shows a change to localism to be for the worse.

    —Nice Guys Finish First, collected in The Sun Shines Bright, 1981






  • It’s big and chunky, but not needlessly so. Without a magazine, it’s not much bigger than the Rival Fate.

    It shot an assortment of half length darts without issue.

    The darts it came with feel like the rigid foam in the Nerf Ultra line, so I don’t have high hopes for their longevity.

    I love the looks of the thing. It fits a Talon mag no problem. The grip is a tiny bit cramped on my hand, but not terribly so. It shoots like a beast, and the prime is VERY hard. The priming handle leaves a little to be desired, especially with how hard it is to prime. I got my knuckle in there at a bad angle and it hurt a bit, so I put a paracord loop on it, and that about solves the issue. Can’t wait to try it at a war!
