The functionality to pair the blaster to the optional ( although somewhat required if you REALLY wanna play properly) target vests is the same as with the rifles- select your team colour and press the shield and team colour buttons simultaneously while shooting the shoulder sensor by squeezing your trigger at the same time. It's quite intuitive to be honest, which I found lacking in the rifles. Just as with the assault rifles, it's a matter of pressing the button down and scrolling through the menu till you hear your chosen selection. The four buttons are the shield button, the weapons toggle, the team selection and the volume control. This simplicity is really quite appealing, and appeals to young children and casual players alike.

The pistol lets off a unique intro sound different to the rifles, but does not require any fake finger print scan. I found this actually to be a lot easier to use powering the blaster up is as easy as using the on-off switch and other than selecting teams, you're almost ready to go. Instead of the touch sensitive buttons on the side, the pistols use four physical rubber buttons in a square grid formation.
