| From what I've read the top one (light blue) is a repro. I think the bottom black one is legit but I'm not 100%. Any thoughts? Thanks!  Here's a closer shot of the fake if it's needed for reference.

| The top blue one makes kind of a "tinny" sound, if that makes sense. It bounces a bit. (it also sinks).
The black one makes a solid sound and pretty much hits the table flat without much of a bounce (this one floats). It's just the odd little tab of plastic on the blaster grip that has me wondering if it's legit. Most tests say yes but I don't see any in the reference guide with that little tab. |

Shawn made this a while back as a way to easier describe the sounds, as it's hard to do in text lol
Just passing it on - by no means is the sink test 100% as we seem to find out each time a weapon is tested but the drop test has always w
worked for me. |

| Here are the best pics I could get of the black one.   Hope these are clear enough. Like I said - it passes the drop test and the sink test. You mentioned the mold tag - is that usually a sign of real weapons? That was what had me wondering if it is a fake.

| Crap... I deleted some stuff on photobucket last night. Screwed up my links. I'll fix it up.
I hope I didn't screw up my other picture links. Guess I better check. |

From the backside you can see: both fake IMO.
There is no original that has the "horizontal line" go through the whole blaster.....am I wrong??

Yep as far as I know that is correct. But I think the pictures are mixed up & there is no picture of the other side of the black one to double check it's authenticity. |

Yeah, that's my fault. The close up is of the fake blue tint one. I'll get better pics up of the black one that's still in question. |
