OMW: Longshot Kit Update and Links

Just got this in from OMW, an update on their Longshot kits and links.

Hey Orange fans,

Preordering for our Longshot Immortal Kit has been extended until

11:59 PM CST, Monday, April 9th, 2012. Afterwards, the kit will

not be available for sale until all preorders are shipped.

The biggest change is that in addition to the collector's tin

box, preorder customers will now receive a bonus priming handle and

a 25% discount on our next Longshot add-on kit, which will feature

the sealed breech and shotgun grip.

Please visit the update page below for a photo of our prototype

parts and more in-depth information:

Also, we have finished the troubleshooting videos for our new

Massacre kits. If you experience any issues when installing

these kits, please check out the following links:

Thank you, and have a happy Easter weekend for those who

celebrate it!

Wow!  Their next kit will include a sealed breech, and shotgun style pump!  Sounds like they are trying to compete with Xplorer.  

Its kinda sad that OMW is making all these kits.  Its taking all the work and fun out of modifying Nerf blasters.  I think that OMW is good for supplying raw materials, but making an angel breech like kit is starting to take it too far for my taste.  

What do you guys think?  Leave your comments below.
