Details
The Crosscut is a single-fire blaster with two vertically-aligned dart barrels. Its main feature is the integrated foam sawblade, which spins in place and makes a sawblade noise when revved up. The blaster has two triggers: a firing trigger and a trigger for revving the blade, located under the firing trigger guard. The blaster uses a smart air restrictor system and a single dart can be fired out of either barrel. It also has a short tactical rail near the back of the blaster and a strap point built into the handle.

Trivia
- In early designs for the Crosscut, the sawblade was revved up by a chainsaw-like starter grip instead of a trigger. This handle is present on the Brainsaw, a similar blaster.
