Words cannot express how excited I was to get this toy. I have this whole zombie thing and moving that into the bedroom is just icing on the cake, as it were. Sadly, I was not impressed. I still intend to make great use of this toy on my partner, but it's not as good as some other toys.

Clitoral stimulation is this toy‘s intended purpose, so it should never be inserted, anywhere. As my partner and I are in the BDSM community, I will be using this for nipple stimulation by taping it to her, so this toy is certainly not a lost cause. The Beaver Shot is extremely powerful, easily hitting a four on the vroom scale. Sadly, because of its hard exterior and odd ridges, the stimulation is too much. It is a very fast vibration, not a deep one. The Beaver Shot is also rather loud, easily a three on the buzz scale which fits it being a shotgun shell and all, I suppose.

When it comes to bullets, I like to press them between my partner and I during sex, but this simply does not work for that. As a nipple stimulating bullet, it's wonderful, and as a gag gift it's brilliant and in the proper price range for it. It will also spice up an image if, like us, you have a more aggressive look at play parties which is its intended purpose for our usage. I would never use this as a cock stimulator, but that is just me, although it would look cool, there are just better similarly priced products of a greater quality for that purpose.

The Beaver Shot is made of hard plastic, and if you know your partner is not a fan of that, then they will not like this. As stated above, I like to press bullets between my partner and I, and this was even fairly uncomfortable for me. The tip has a little dimple where the plastic is injection molded. The makers did a fairly good job smoothing this out, but my partner complained about it, so I used a soft buffer from my Dremel Tool on it, and she said it was much better. If you have the ability to make this change, I suggest you do so. As far as odor concerns, it smells like plastic, which means not much scent at all, if any.

This toy has a texture; it's covered in twenty eight ridges that are straight and extend the length of the body. I seemed to get quite the reaction from my partner by spinning it slowly as I teased her with it.

It’s also super durable having already taken a few tumbles, as it's been tossed about the house and shown to people, and it doesn't show a single sign of damage. It's also water proof, as tossing it in a bowl of water did nothing to slow the Beaver Shot’s power. Nothing can stop a bullet, you know.

At three and a quarter inches, the toy's size is great, just half an inch shorter than my index finger. Technically it is a bit longer than a twenty gauge shotgun shell, but that is just me being nitpicky. Also it’s a bit thinner than a standard shell, at only two and a half inches in circumference and just a smidgen under three quarters of an inch in diameter.

I don't see how this toy could be bad for anyone to own, unless sound is a huge issue for you, as this one is pretty darn loud. The Beaver Shot is supposed to be a shotgun shell after all, right? However, if you don't want to wake your dorm mate, I would suggest getting something else. I am practically deaf, and I can easily hear this toy even over my partner’s moans, and she is not the silent type.

One of my favorite bullets is Eden's High Intensity Bullet (suggested at the bottom of this review), It has a wonderful little button that clicks on and clicks through the different speeds, and the Beaver Shot could really stand to incorporate one into it's design. Sadly the twist to adjust method on this toy is flawed but manageable with practice.

I sat this toy on my desk, and while my house is probably not like yours, no one ever suspects what this really is when they see it. Most people think it's either a real shell, or a non-sex toy of some kind. No one suspects it's for making my partner moan. On that note, I wouldn't suggest traveling with it on a plane as that would be asking for trouble.

Turning this toy on is a pain. Turn it the wrong way and you screw the battery cap off. The smoothness of the activation ring tends to spin around in my rough fingers which means I have to pinch down and that often cranks the bad boy into overdrive mode. This is fine for nipple stimulation, but when I am trying to tease my partner’s clit, it is too much. I mentioned a button before, and this is what I mean. It's sad because it would have been really easy to just put it where the primer on a shell would be to do this. I highly doubt a dial was easier to design than a button. With practice you can get this figured out, but I still have the horrible habit of turning it the wrong way every now and then and screwing the blasted battery cap off.

The Beaver Shot is supposed to be used for clitoral stimulation, which if you like an intense, aggressive piece of hard plastic rubbing against you or your partner’s clit, it kicks ass at that. If that sounds horrible, this is certainly not the toy for you. At least not for clit play. I personally would never insert this toy, for several reasons. The tip being a flat round surface would hurt my partner, and the hard, fast vibrations are not her thing. The Beaver Shot is not to be used anally unless you would like an awkward trip to the emergency room explaining why you have a shotgun shell stuck in your butt. Don't think you are going to be able to hold onto it either; it's slick and getting it lubed up is only going to make that worse. You can certainly use it to tease the anus though. The control to increase the vibrations is awkward and would not be something easily done on the fly; I can not really express that enough.

It only has one setting, but it’s feasible that you can slowly turn it up. Like I said before, this is not an easy task to accomplish, and in the heat of the moment, best of luck to you. If your partner gets wet easily, it's just going to get worse. I mentioned adding a button to do this before, but again so many flaws could have been fixed by doing that instead of this radial dial they went with.

It runs on a single triple A battery and will be happy to do so for hours.

The Beaver Shot is made of hard plastic which gives it a seven on the Eden Fantasy safety scale. Clean it with your favorite toy cleaner, or soap and warm water, but never boil it. As far as storage goes it is easiest to just sit this toy on top of your computer like I do; no one will ever suspect that this is a sex toy, just try not to laugh too hard when people start playing with it. It is certainly waterproof, so no lubricants should affect its performance; just keep it clean, for your safety. Plastic is safe for all types of lubricants: water, oil, and silicone. So, what ever is your favorite, use it to your heart's content. No lube will be ruining the the power of the Beaver Shot.

It comes in a plastic bag, that is all. It's honestly completely discreet, and I'd find it very hard for anyone to assume what this is. I'd love to say more here, but I can't. It's just a boring little plastic bag. I was honestly expecting something funnier. If you want to gift this to someone, you're on your own to make sure they know what it is.

Despite all the problems, I still love this toy. It's a freaking shotgun shell vibrator; how cool is that! I cannot explain how cool it is to pull this out at play parties; everyone always wants one. It fits perfectly with all my zombie themed spanky toys. It is just too cool for words, and at this price the novelty alone is worth it. I'll be purchasing more, because I need them, my partner has two breasts after all, and strapping a couple to her nipples with black bondage tape makes an awesome effect. Another spiffy little advantage of this little buzzer is it actually fits in a shotgun shell holder, which is an even cooler effect in my opinion.

As far as clitoral stimulation goes, this toy isn't the best, unless your clit is less sensitive to hard plastics, but my partner doesn't like hard plastic on her clit, and sadly as a member of the male species that is all I can tell you about it. If you know you don't mind it, and want something that will vibrate your socks off, this toy is great. If you want something fun and interesting as a gag gift, this toy is perfect. If you happen to have zombie themed sex toys and want to show off, why are you even reading my review? I just told you how awesome it is for that, so buy it already.
