Sheldon's Introduction

"The Bamboozler 14 Mk III takes the Mk I and swaps out the barrel for a different bamboo pipe. This set's selling point is how the main weapon and the Burst Bombs can really hammer your opponent! That's not to mention the Inkstrike, which can make life difficult for even far-off enemies.
This really is a set worthy of the legendary name-
Actually, no... A set that REDEFINES what it means to be a Bamboozler!" (NA)[a]
