The Worker Hurricane Blaster

The Hurricane is a flywheel revolver that works with a removable cylinder that holds 6 darts.
The Worker Hurricane is semi-auto with a 2-stage trigger. Pulling the trigger halfway revs the flywheels and pulling it further pushes the darts.
On the back is an on-off switch to turn the blaster on and off.

The blaster uses 130-size motors and smaller sized flywheels.
The complete blaster and cylinders are injection molded in the quality we know from Worker.
The Worker Hurricane comes completely assembled, ready for use. (for Europe this is not certain due to customs issues)

Removable Rotating Cylinder Magazines

The removable Rotating Cylinder Magazine holds 6 darts.
These magazines are available separately and come in two colors: Blue and White.
The magazines have a rotation mechanism built-in. Loading darts is done by rotating the cylinder with the knob on the back and pushing the darts in from the front.
