Im sorry but, you spent $$ on Bobamakers stuff but not on a proper blaster? That just doesnt add up...not to mention there are american options out there that are more accurate for the soft items. Id contact Stormrider about a blaster if I was you dont skimp on one of the most important items its like the helmet a show piece that everyone sees first thing
 
I guess I didn't copy my post in its entirety.
I have been cutting and pasting on a few different forums and some of the information didn’t copy over 100% correct.
This blaster is for trooping kid’s events, where I would NOT want to carry around a "Proper" blaster for many reasons, money being the number one, damage , and letting kids pose for pictures with this won’t make me a nervous wreck ,not to mention it is cheap and can be replaced from one trip at Target.
In December I am planning on getting Sidewinders kit for Christmas.
As for the soft parts, I contacted the top armor and soft parts makers in USA with either no response back or 9 months to a year waiting list.
The sale went to who contacted me back, had great communication, and service in a timely manner.

Your comment about my helmet is unclear? What in your opinion is wrong with it? I know it has the RF stalk lens on it in the pictures, but it has been removed for ROTJ helmet.

I do value your opinion and thank you for comments, but I would have nothing to work on or to show if I waited on everyone’s opinion to make my decisions.

I guess accuracy in the eye of the beholder...Cheers (y)
 
He wasn't speaking negatively of your helmet. He was saying that the blaster tends to be one of the first things people notice much like the helmet.
 
That makes more sense now...maybe look for a hyperfirm blaster, u can toss it up an escalator from what Ive been told and watch it come back to you
