This is probably my favorite elite blaster so far. The strongarm is the maverick reimagined and improved in almost every way imagineable. Its a superior sidearm to most of the alternatives in foam blasting as well, easilly outclassing both the maverick and the spectre and the firestrike. It beats most modified versions of non-elite blasters without even tinkering with it yet. Its just a really cool blaster and a ton of fun to play with straight out of the box.
