Product Description

From the Manufacturer

When DUKE® leads a covert mission, he carries his custom-designed weapon system. The SWITCHFIRE¿ system has multiple attachments that give him the flexibility to adapt quickly to any situation. Portable and easy to modify, the SWITCHFIRE is based on ideas DUKE gathered during his many missions: confuse the enemy with a wall of smoke, increase accuracy with a high-magnification scope, and design a dual-purpose launcher/silencer to reduce extra weight and still have a way to conceal the firing sounds. Join the SIGMA 6 team on its next covert mission by arming yourself just like its brave leader! Collapse the stock for easy carrying on missions, then choose the grenade launcher, scope or magazine--change and combine the attachments for an enemy-smashing total of nine different weapon modes! Electronic lights and sounds let you live the adventure--take aim with the targeting light or watch the light-up chamber flash as you fire! And the launcher attachment really fires a grenade and makes blasting sounds! If you're going to run with the SIGMA 6 squad, then you'd better gear up!

An excellent role play gun! 9 modes means many different sounds and a variety of ways use this play weapon! The light features is excellent and the sound is loud! This'll make a graet gift along with all of the other superb GI Joe Sigma 6 figures!

I got this for my sons birthday and would you believe it my brother got him the same thing. My son opened the presents right in a row and said "COOL DAD !! we each have one to play!" My brother laughed and said I guess you don't want the receipt.

This is a great toy gun. It has a lot of firing sounds and interchangeable parts. Each piece from magazine clip, scope, silencer/ grenade launcher changes the sound it uses when firing. Then combine the parts into multiple configurations for even more sounds. It also has a collapsable stock, The plastic is nice and durable weight is not an issue and hand grip size is not to big or to small. The only thing that would have made this better would have been a shoulder strap.

Overall its great fun. I know some get all freaked out about toy guns but boys love playing with them. Boys will use anything from a stick to their finger just be creative we play freeze tag. He's been running around the house for days non stop saving us from "bad guys" "monsters" and "dragons".
