“The dueling models in this set are nearly identical, differing only in their drive systems, color, and pilot. They are therefore quite evenly matched. In each case the weapon is a competition cannon attached to the end of a scissors mechanism. The bodies of these models... More are shaped as a pistol grip making it easy to hold them and reach the trigger.”
