glossy box, speed loader (how do you actually use this) and 5 rounds. Might change that to a higher number, Like 5 for my blaster 5 for my loader and 3 for the box. But as of now keep me at 5 rounds. (how many rounds does he actually fire in the film? Because they would be missing in his box of ammo. Right? _________________ The other Karl! |

A 'real' speedloader works by holding the bullets in a spring clip frame so you load your bullets in first - you position the loader with bullets over the drum chamber holes and either pushing or twisting the button ( dependent of type of speedloader) this releases the bullets thus loading all chambers at once - hence the name 'speedloader!
However, You'll find speedloaders don't work for any 'proper' blaster eg Hartford, Coyle or Sidkit as the LHS amber grip gets completely in the way - the only way to fix it - is to grind it down until you get the required clearance, which will alter the grip as you'll have to grind the other side down as well , to balance the gun and make it look right.
This I know from experience, as I make the only proper theatrical 'firing' replica blaster other than the Hartford, even the revered 'Tomenosuke' can't be loaded with a speedloader, without this amendment.
Even the Hero gun was loaded by hand , as the outer shroud and drum will not drop down far enough to clear the LHS amber grip to allow a speedloader to be used, unless you grind down the amber grips. Oh and for the record he only fires five shots in the entire film - one clip! |

This is true but the speed loaders look very cool.
The only other thing you could use is speed strips. Not as well known or as good as speed loaders but they do allow you to load two bullets at a time and would work on the Blaster.
I'm still gonna have my speedloaders and get a matching case for them along with some type of rifle bullet holder for my bolt action rocket bullets. |

I've used speedstrip before and they do work very well, don't get me wrong , I applaud Nexus6's attendion to detail, I love the bullets, I admire the box and it's a very nice touch using the Styer 'marksman' motife on the speedloader , I completely agree a weapons of the future such as the blaster should have speedloader capability especially when chasing replicants ! |

Sorry to ask, but I like to be thorough.
Are you saying: 5 Cartridges, 1 Box, & 1 Speedloader?
If not, please clarify for me. I don't want to get to the end & not have everything I need. _________________

OK, as of this post, I will take no more orders for:
Cartridges
Speedloaders
I will accept orders for the printed boxes up until I finish putting together the ammo & start taking payments.
My thanks for everyone's interest. This evening I will update the first post with buyers/amounts. Once posted, I ask everyone to please check the list for accuracy (& PLZ PM me with any alterations/corrections). Also in the update will be projected time of completion (at which time I will take payments). _________________
