Description
This is Terminus. It's got two barrels, two plunger tubes, two triggers, and uses two magazines. Terminus is the absolute best springer for under 250, if you don't mind a heavier blaster. Terminus allows you to fire two shots in immediate succession (or even at once), and features a prime selector enabling you to use each side independently- which means that you're not stuck with either an empty chamber or a double fed chamber.
The immediate follow up shot has been described as “like a cheat code”- because if you miss your target, you just hit them with the second barrel. You can make tags on two different targets in immediate succession, faster than a flywheeler even; if you have a dart issue in your first barrel, you just pull your second trigger and you get the tag you might have missed. The utility of the second follow up shot is difficult to overstate.

If you have a 180 cubed printer, you'll need to use the split parts in their labeled folder. Same settings as the parts they replace, bow ties at 100 percent.
Once again big thanks to Bear for his support along this journey, and especially for making beta tester kits available! Also huge huge thanks to Frozenfade- for being the absolute coolest Nerfing buddy and spitballing ideas around with me, which eventually became this. Thanks to Silvernutter, Zoey from Foxfire, Zuko from Capital3d, CMXVII, Teamsticks…. too many people, honestly. I value all of y'all in the Nerf community, more than you know. Also shout out to the Utah Nerf Foam Flingers, with whom I tested Terminus for its first outings!
