A birthday gift for two.

We got this set for Ethan's birthday this week and didn't get to play with them until Saturday afternoon.  After all of the little boys left and we were getting ready for the next party (it seems like the kids have three parties each birthday.  One with their friends, one with my family, and one with Karen's family) we got these out and started our little war.  First of all you have to be a little kid to wear the vest.  Grown men should not attempt to strap the belt around their waist.  The guns each hold 10 darts that are auto loaded with every pump.  The only problem is that the darts go fast in a fire fight so you should have some extra's on hand.  The next problem with this system is that the vest is nearly completely lost behind your targets' arms and gun so the little point values on the vest are almost completely hidden.  You're really lucky to even get a dart stuck on the vest at all.  The glasses that come with it are actually sort of nice in a battle because these darts can sting when they hit your face.  In all these were a ton of fun.  I think it would be better if you could set up

teams so that one member of the team could be collecting darts and reloading while another of the members of the team could be fending off the onslaught.  I've also seen one where you play capture the flag with a little "beacon" of sorts.  I think we'll get another set of these guns so we can have wars as a family instead of just me and Ethan.  If your family gets a set or two give us a call and we'll have a feud.
