Wipeout Pistol Splat

The original Tech Group Pistol Splat was a paintball pistol. As a paintball pistol, however, it was fairly useless. So somewhere along the line, somebody decided that it could be marketed better as a dart blaster. Thus, the Wipeout Pistol Splat version was born:

The conversion was done simply and cheaply. As such, the blaster's paintball roots are still evident. A small ring sight has capped the old hopper system and the barrel still extends outward on the prime. A dart holder and peg have been added, allowing the blaster some additional utility as a dart blaster. 

The Wipeout line is generally the weakest variant of Splat, but even so it still manages to achieve 40-50' with Nerf darts. It will also fire any kind of dart, making it useful even unmodified.
