Crash B-Daman series Crash B-Daman was first launched at the end of 2005. This series specialized on shooting.

The pistol grips and triggers vary in both size, color, and functionality. Crash only produced 40 models before being canceled. Many foreign players liked the design, but Japanese parents believed that the gun-like models were too violent for their kids just as their kids can enjoy, handle and be allowed to see guns on TV.
