Specifications and Features
Dual shooting mode: The ROKR AK-47 has a dual shooting mode. You could either fire in a single shot or in a continuous shot.
Safety: There is a safety lock in place and a mechanical sighting for added realism to help you aim.
Rubber bands: The kit comes with rubber bands that serve as the triggering mechanism or bullets. This makes it a harmless toy that can serve as fun for kids and adults.
Wooden soldiers: The kit comes with mini wooden soldiers, objects that you can aim at.
Premium quality: The ROKR AK-47 is made of premium plywood. Its parts are laser-cut and are designed to be durable for years to come.
Assembly Experience
The assembly process is straightforward. Although you may experience slight confusion moments with alignment, those issues can be easily fixed once you follow the instruction manual. The parts pop out easily, but you need to be careful while popping out wooden pieces.
Glue is hardly an essential since the two sections are set to fit. The process of assembling is interesting because you observe the linking of mechanical parts.
Challenges
Tricky mechanical parts: Some smaller mechanical parts, like the trigger mechanism, can be tricky. You may experience the rubber band not shooting from the fun.
Misalignment: Small deviations or misalignments such as the rubber band path may become a hindrance to full functioning.
Assembly time: The assembly time is also challenging, especially for first-timers. You’ll need to dedicate around 5 hours to building this amazing puzzle.
This kit uses high-quality wood with clear markings on the sheets.
Performance and Functionality
Once you assemble your 3D wooden gun, you can launch rubber bands at the wooden soldiers provided in the kit. The kit offers two shooting modes (single and continuous). The removable magazine makes it even more realistic and the mechanical sights assist you in aiming.
Note that although the rubber band itself is safe, you should not point it at the face of someone, animals, or delicate objects.
