The Zyclone shoots a foam ring that spins and flies like a smoke ring, and it absolutely works.
I saw something like this on TV and was pretty geeked about it. The Zing Air Zyclone is a launcher, a bit like a crossbow, that fires a round foam tube. It spins as it flies, kind of like a frisbee turned on its side or a cigar smoke ring. I took it outside to see if it really flies.
- Flies straight and far
- Easy to load and fire
- A lot of fun
- The foam ring could chip or break if bent

What you get
The ring feels like Styrofoam. It is light and round, but not fragile so much as something you could damage if you bent or chipped it.
The launcher has a cap on the end, a foam front, and rubber tubing like medical tube bands. You pull it back by the handle, a lot like a crossbow.
Loading it
The ring slides over the foam front of the launcher. Seat it with the orange edge facing out, orange, green, orange.
Firing it
Grab it, pull back, twist, and release. Outside, it flew really well. It absolutely works and is a lot of fun.
