Aquadoodle PlayMat
The Aquadoodle isn't a pool or tub toy, but without water it's no fun
at all. It's just a drawing mat after all, but kids will like the novelty
of its disappearing colors. The 81 by 53-inch drawing mat is large enough
for several kids to doodle on at a time, using the included magic marker
pens that do not transfer color to other surfaces (to our knowledge …).
Color from the pens appears when water touches the mat; it then fades
out without a trace in 60 seconds or so. That's it: no ink, no paint,
and no mess.Diane Beall
From the Manufacturer
Encourage the creativity even at the youngest age. The Aqua Doodle is
a child's version of Magna Doodle only the children draw with Water. The
image magically appears ad after approx. 20 seconds the area dries and
color disappears. Parents fill the pen holders with water and wet the
stamp pad. The child draws. comes with storage pouch, magic pen, and drawing
mat. Big enough for 2 to play on.

What are Airsoft Guns?
Airsoft BB guns were first designed and marketed in the United States
about thirty years ago. Intended for light entertainment rather than high-powered
hunting, the Airsoft BB gun featured a unique propulsion system which
utilized a small amount of air to shoot lightweight plastic pellets with
impressive accuracy. The result was an attractive, safe, easy-to-use airgun,
perfect for target practice or plinking with friends.
As the concept matured, Airsoft added a new line of rifles and pistols
which replicated famous models such as the Magnum Revolver and the Uzi.
The public response was massive and enthusiastic, drawing in hobbyists,
collectors, and amateurs alike, and spreading as far as Italy and Japan.
This worldwide attention led Airsoft to even greater heights of quality
craftsmanship, a triple-play combination of realism, safety, and affordability,
and today its products are used in fields ranging from professional firearm
training to the movies.
Airsoft BB guns are ideal for the average consumer interested in improving
their marksmanship, indoors or out, in a fun, secure environment that
provides all the benefits of modern firearm usage while avoiding the risks.
Hobbytron carries three types of Airsoft guns:
Spring/Air Airsoft Guns
They are true to scale and some are true to weight. Excellent for collecting
and recreational use. Because of their maintenance free design and their
affordability, these are excellent entry level AirSoft guns. This class
of AirSoft products is very durable and have extremely low failure rate.
These pistols are styled after popular handguns and are very detailed.
They shoot 6mm soft air bullets which are fed from the clip. The clip
pops in just like the real ones. They shoot 6mm bullets. Most models shoot
above or around 220 fps and have an average accuracy range of over 85
feet. They are great for learning how to target shoot. You will love the
heavy feel and the realistic qualities of most of these shooting machines.
They are spring-cocked and shoot very hard (But not dangerously hard mind
you). Most guns have the "Hop Up" system, which simply means
that there is a drag in the top of the barrel that puts a back spin on
the pellet which makes it fly further and straighter.
Electric Airsoft Guns
The Electric AirSoft BB Guns incorporate a battery powered motor, transmission
gearing, and circuit board onto the air piston assembly. Instead of manually
cocking the piston head for every shot, the motor and gears perform the
cocking action and release of the piston at the moment of trigger pull.
The speed at which the motor and gears perform the entire action is within
a fraction of a second, allowing for near instantaneous firing response.
The circuit board is hooked up directly to the trigger pull for each shot.
A constant pull on the trigger with the selector dial at full allows for
a constant electrical stream from the battery to the motor, keeping the
entire firing system in continuous motion until pressure is let off of
the trigger.
Gas Airsoft Guns
The Gas Airsoft BB Guns run on a gas driven mechanism. Low-temperature
carbon dioxide (CO2), environment safe Freon, or Green Gas are the most
popular of gases used. All models are manufactured to a high degree of
surface detail and dimension, these are for the more discerning collector.
