Your Very Own Deer Hunter Reenactment Without the Mess

I bought this product as for a party I was having with a large group of mid to late 20somethings. To be honest, I purchased solely as a drinking game to serve for a few minutes of entertainment so people wouldn't have to sit sober or speak to many of their thoughts during the party, some might call it an ice breaker. Once people accepted the grotesque nature of the game it really is a huge hit for anyone seeking the adrenaline rush of blasting a balloon off in unsafe places around your face, ears, and head. Eventually nearly everyone wanted to get in on the game and it's equally fun just to watch someone in agony over fear of the balloon popping.

I took off the plastic ring so that people would have to trap the balloon between their head and the nail that shoots out every 6 shots just like a real revolver. I can't say it functions perfectly every time and some times it takes some handy work to get the needle back in the right position but I would never pay enough money to have something like this that works as a result of flawless engineering and material craftsmanship. If you can make engineer and manufacture a better product for this price I dare you to try.

I don't know why there are little Asian kids on the cover of the box but they seem like the least likely of anyone to enjoy this little game. This probably is not a good product for children if you don't want your kids to play with guns. It's especially not for children who destroy all things fun and enjoyable for adults.

I've still got a seat open seat available for Christopher Walken should he ever want to join in this somewhat morbid game at my future parties.

Lots of fun!

My son in law was super excited to get this for Christmas. He's been wanting one for a few years now and when he opened it he just about fell over. We played with it imediatly and he used up all the balloons that day. Don't try quality balloons though they are too thick and wont pop. You have to get dollar store balloons and there's no complaints about that. What's better than needing the cheapest balloons to make your son in law happy?

Learn how to play Lolol

The game had a bit of trouble in understanding how to play it but it was fun anticipating a sudden pop, outdoors in a quiet neighborhood with my old special friend. One time we had the gun accidently set to never popping a balloon so for the longest time we just were playing as though we were the luckiest suicidal maniacs ever.

... first time we tested it out it worked just fine and popped after a few pulls

The first time we tested it out it worked just fine and popped after a few pulls. The second time however we tried it with a large group of friends and it literally took over a 100 pulls to pop. I'm disappointed, I feel like it's practically broken...

The gun works. Sometimes.
by Kevin (2 out of 5 stars)

So here is the mechanics of how the gun pops a balloon:
- You pull back the hammer, the hammer locks, and a new chamber moves into place.
- You press the trigger and the hammer slams into a chamber.
- One chamber has a piece of plastic (which acts as the bullet).
- If the hammer hits an empty chamber, nothing happens.
- If the hammer hits the chamber with the "bullet", the plastic comes out and pushes on a needle.
- Needle briefly comes out and pops the balloon. Needle goes back inside the gun.

This all sounds functional but here are the issues I've experienced:
- The hammer misses the bullet in the chamber completely. No popping.
- The hammer misses the chamber and hits a piece of plastic around the chamber. It 'jams'. No popping.
- The hammer doesn't hit the bullet at the right amount of force so the needle doesn't extend far enough to pop the balloon. No popping.

So imagine playing a game of Russian Roulette and when the bullet should fire, it fails. What's the point?

I know your supposed to do these with air in the balloons but trying using WATER BALLOONS, it takes this amazing game to a whole new level. This is the best party game i own and if you like the risk taking games this is for you and will surely make party's and small gatherings way more fun with this product.

Fun game. The balloons if filled enough to stay in the ring are a little too heavy and need to be supported otherwise it will break.

Dead on arrival... pin never extends to pop the baloon. it's a shame because we were having so much fun anticipating the pop, sadly it never came.
