So my kid got the NERF Vortex PRAXIS Blaster for his birthday…

…thanks to an indulgent grandparent, and I’m pretty impressed by it.

Easy cocking/firing action for a kid, pretty accurate with the disks, and the quick-release magazine is actually, you know, a quick-release magazine. The NERF state of the art continues to impress me. Now all I have to do is make my son understand that, no, this is not an ‘AK-47.’ …Yesm I know: it looks nothing like one. Didn’t I just say that I have to work on that?
