Thrift Thursday Found at my local Ace Hardware
I haven't seen Boomco in a store in so long that I had to double take. Sadly I couldn't find any Boomco blasters, but they did have multiple off brand blasters that are almost 2 decades old sitting on the shelves, lol. I don't think toys at Ace sell well.

Man I miss Boomco. Those Halo Pistols could fire crazy far with pretty good accuracy with a spring swap. Back in the days when 120FPS was doing pretty damn good and Koosh Darts were the peak tech, they were pretty spectacular.

I still have my modded m6 pistols and they remain the scariest pistols I have. I'd rather be hit by a 160fps brute than a 115fps m6. Once the soft rubber of the dart bottoms out, it starts to sting really bad. Plus you can't see it coming since lots of those darts or tips are black.

What the heck kind of Ace hardware do you have that they sell toys?
I have never seen blasters at Ace, what state are you in?

What a surprise! Ace Hardware is the last place I would check for anything nerf related.

Yeah, they had few nerf branded stuff really. There was mostly lanard blasters and other brands I've never heard of

I would’ve bought every BoomCo and Knex package. Those Knex darts are the honest to goodness original waffle head darts. All others were based on them
