Hello, your package!
Oh, I'm coming
Thank you!
Hey, hey!
why you buy blasters again and again?
Do we have space in our home anymore?!
No, I'm not
Just an emulsion paint, the wall is peeling, I need to paint it
Emulsion paint, no blaster, no gels!
Play Gels~
For the gun dream of 300 million kidos
CF (CrossFire) is really doing a great job on
popularizing non-popular weapons
If you've played CF, you can't forget that overpowered "Striker"
This semi-auto shotgun coming from South Africa
utilizes a unique revolver design
its 12-round capacity is at least a time larger than other shotgun at the same time
which let it able to fire lots of ammo in a short time
This June, Orange Wargame studio had told me that
they have a secret new product
which is different from any other blasters on the market
Here I see it is this big boy
As the first long type of gas-powered gel blaster on the market
And on the new product satellite section of the SDGun forum
the expectation of "Striker" is very high
Other manufactures are still thinking about how to make a coffin style wood box for their blasters
Orange studio has already integrated the industrial style to the box container of their blasters
which means Orange is already on the fifth floor, and others are still down inside the basement
If there is no "Striker" logo of the blaster on this iron bucket
I will give a big "?" if I really bought an emulsion paint
Under the cap, there is an advertisement of the first release
The explosion view is at the back of the round post
The blaster is fully covered by anti-shock foam
This VIP version I got here comes with 12 shells
which could fully load up the mag and shoot a full round
The body and the barrel are easy to assemble
extend the folding stock
take the nylon inner barrel out and screw it on the thread
then assemble the handguard and the flash hider
here it is, it's done
73cm of length when the stock is extended
the outer appearance is basically replicated from the early version of Striker that manufactured by Armsel in the 1980s
Including the stock, cylinder, and the handguard
lots of phosphating steel parts are used on this blaster
with the orange nylon parts
its weight goes up to 2kg
and with 12 shells, it raises up to 2.6kg
Due to its special cylinder design
there is a huge "drum" between the barrel and the trigger
which makes Striker different from any other shotgun
It looks more like a revolver grenade launcher
pretty aggressive in hands
Without any word, if you got this during games
your morale will defeat others, at least
The receiver construction is simple
the trigger parts are inside the one-piece body
The orange nylon part is robust and feels nice when touching it
On the left side, there is the same warning textualization as the real steel
The steel trigger is in double-action, the trigger force is big
very good for Mr. Taka Kato to work out
The first half pull will rotate the cylinder, and the second half pull will fire the shell
The safety behind the trigger is made by stainless steel
Push it to the right will lock the trigger
at this time you can still pull it to rotate the cylinder
but you can't pull it all the way back to fire
The folding stock is made by two pieces of stamped steel
and assembled by pins, very durable
The nylon butt cover could also be folded and locked on the top of the receiver
Striker is fed by the rotating cylinder
In the first-gen. design, there isn't any gas operation on the gun
and the cylinder is powered by the winding at the front
This drum style cylinder is built into the blaster
you can't detach it quickly
The internals are similar to the revolver
only an outer body shell outside
There are three windows in front of the drum
which helps to check the remaining rounds
The port at the back is for loading and ejecting the shell
The gate can be closed manually in case the shell goes out
This reloading process is ridiculously bothering
First, turn the safety on
then, wind the front handle
and pull once trigger after each shell loading
repeat it again and again, until you fill-up the 12 rounds
The front handguard design is full of WWII style
which maximizes the concept of material saving
It's just a barrel with holes
the sight and the charging track are welding on it directly
This charging handle is not for loading the shell
As I mentioned, Striker has no gas operation
so after you shoot, you need to charge this ejecting rod
to push the case out of the cylinder
just like some old types of revolver
The foregrip is made by the same orange nylon as the receiver
assembled by screws on the handguard
Due to it uses tri-hole shells
This Striker doesn't use a regular 7.5mm inner barrel
the red acrylic inner barrel is as huge as the shell
which means there is no "accuracy" to consider about
at least with 12 rounds burst, one hit is enough, two hits are double-enough
The aluminum alloy muzzle doesn't have any suppressing purpose but stabilizes the barrel
This blaster uses gas-powered shells
The input valve is on the side
The steel primer and the aluminum body is connected by the thread
great artwork
The structure of this shell is similar to the gas grenade shell
only the outer appearance is 12 gauge shotgun shell
Three holes on each shell could contain 6 gels in total
Striker's outer looks simple and violent
The texture of stamping and welding is everywhere
The whole design shows the pragmatism in the 1980s
no any other extra function or accessory
all its work is for shooting lots of rounds in just a sec
As for running out of 12 rounds
then you should pray to the God
The reloading process of this blaster is fully simulated from the real steel
with the big amount of stamping parts, it's qualified enough to be a model
Preparing the shells is so painful
Firstly, before filling in the gas to each shell
you need to use the wood rod provided in the box to push the valve on the bottom
after you hear a nice "click" sound, then the shell is ready to be filled with gas
12 shell rounds, I recommend you to wear gloves when filling the gas
or if your hands trembled accidentally, the milky liquid will ejaculate on your hands
You can fill 6 gels into three holes
but I suggest fill three in will be enough
Fill each shell respectively, then load them into the cylinder
wind the handle after that
10 mins have passed if you did it quickly
And then, you can shoot all 12 rounds that you've filled in just 5 seconds
but to be honest, this 5-second is fantastic
The reloading process of Striker is really disturbing
filling the gas and gels are also the steps for toys
so the playing experience is awful after this
but ignore this if you have someone to help you
You should be prepared in 1000% if you play it alone at home
The huge magazine capacity with low cost and special design
is the well-known feature of Striker
However, it is also its weird design
limits the range of usage of this gun
maybe Striker will only be strong enough in video games
This Striker gel blaster made from Orange Wargame
I have no complaint about its material and finish
and it even replicates the ridiculous problem of reloading of the real steel
I don't know if it's a good realistic experience or not
Some players might concern this structure might be "too realistic"
but you will notice when you get it
its trigger is just a simple lever
and there is no process of releasing the firing pin
so I barely see the possibility of illegal retrofit
With the huge part of the orange tip
I think it's safe enough to play with
The gas-powered shell cost 120 for each (about 20USD)
If you want an extra set
another 1200+ (200USD)
and the blaster itself also cost more than 1000 bucks (150USD)
it can't be very popular just like the real steel
However, the fantastic feeling of the 12-round firing shower
and this unique type of appearance
I believe there will be some rich hands to pay for it
Recently, the relative departments started their crackdown operation
which makes players scared about that
Many players message me for my opinion
I just posted a thread about it for discussion
