The first thing you’ll notice about the Mastodon is — unsurprisingly — its size. It’s nearly three feet long and 16 inches tall. The strap it comes with, which clips on at the tip and butt of the blaster, is a hint to its heftiness; the Mastodon weighs six pounds, heavy enough to be difficult for kids to hold and tiring for adults to keep held. It’s a lot of plastic is what we’re saying, so the strap is a welcome help. With so much crammed into one blaster, the Select is surprisingly light – coming in at 4.24 pounds but if you wanted extra support there are 5 sling points located around the blaster to help spread the burden. If you want to add even more, there is even a tactical rail for you to throw on some attachments.

If there is no power in the battery, the gun won’t power on. Solution The Mega Mastodon is named after the extinct animal of the same name; it was given this name most likely because of its size.

Where the Mastodon does excel is that its Mega darts offer a very flat initial trajectory when firing parallel to the ground. This means you can get an excellent range of about 40-50 feet without having to aim high and let the darts arc down.
