It’s actually a really comfortable setup, and the blaster isn’t too heavy, either. The handle at the front (which is also removable) can spin, which means you can easily move the blaster up and down. The Prometheus has two handles one at the front and one at the back. Instead, you’re basically holding this blaster with both hands at the hip level. You don’t shoulder the Prometheus or hold it in front of you. As you’ve discovered by now, the Prometheus is very different from all other Nerf blasters out there, and that also applies to its ergonomics.
