It was sent in its original packaging and was damaged on the way to me. The box was wiped out and all I had in the box was the gun and the hilt, everything else was gone. I tried it and the gun doesn't even get hot. So I'm asking for an exchange and now I have to raise my own funds to buy a box and send it back to them. I have no problem returning it, but I feel like I don't have to pay for shipping and packaging if the person who filled out the order was LAZY!
