I've seen these at the stores, and just tonight did a bunch of surfing. I found a lot of good reviews, but finally found the manufacturer's site.

There's a motorized semi auto, as well as a lever action and a SxS. Some really cool stuff there. Just keep away from the online vendors, they're at least two or three times more expensive than the stores(in St Louis anyway). One wanted over $60 for a gun I could buy locally for less than $20! They do make refill kits for lost darts and "shells," which is kind of a more recent phenomenon
Anyway, keeping in mind supervision and rules and such, these would be a great way to introduce younger kids to shooting. Much cheaper and less potential for problems than a real gun.
