I remember that thing. Who had it?

I had one that worked great for a long time. Then I started hitting jumps with it like they do in the commercials and the tracks started falling off. Of course the Battery Door got the Duct Tape treatment as well. Then the Scorcher came out and people started arguing over which was faster

I had this one. It worked AWESOME. It would shoot the same distance no matter how many times it was pumped. It had one problem though...It came with a big warning on it that you absolutely could not leave pressure in it without firing it. I brought it to the beach one day and forgot I had left pressure in it. A huge BANG came out of the inside of it and it never worked again...

That's because the trigger was just a pinch mechanism that pinched a piece of rubber tubing. I had the same one and it did the same thing - I took it apart, replaced the tubing, and all was well with the world.

But could you shoot Jap-Nazis with it?

Mine shoots Jap-Nazis.
