It’s a solid blaster for the price in my opinion. Especially when you factor in not needing to mod it yourself. Good priced mags, works with all darts, 3s protected lipo, and a snappy trigger. What’s not to like?

Mod potential: Didn’t get a good look at those wheels but they look like they could be replaced by something better. Add that barrel lug, because I like to stick little decorations on my blasters. Trim out the plastic under the jam door that they left in there for some reason. Probably too much work to make it accept full-length darts, which is unfortunate because those work better in flywheels 😢 and I just like the feel of the full-length mags for nostalgia reasons

Very exciting!

I really like it, but I’d rather buy a Nexus Pro or something like that because I can’t justify $120 myself.

This would have been huge 5 years ago. Still significant 3 years ago. But it seems too little too late for the price to me. Im glad that Hasbro is employing people from the hobby, and listening to some of what we want. However, I feel like as a company, this is the bare minimum that they could do to enter the space.

As we've seen with Dart Zone and the Omnia, there's only so much innovation one can shove in until it catches up with you and inevitably fail I think for the most part, the Stryfe X is a foolproof way to introduce people who haven't modded into the hobby

For the upfront cost of the blaster, I think they should offer additional batteries for purchase. Even if it is a more-generic battery they intend on using with future pro blasters; as long as it plugs into the same socket...

Terrible trigger lag in semi auto and burst due to the electronic pusher. Mine was so slow to fire form the trigger pull I’d never recommend anyone buy the blaster. And then it also shoots a few feet to the right. Like I couldn’t hit a target from 40 feet away aiming down the sights.

@@AmericanFoam That’s a bummer I guess the average consumer won’t notice these things but the real aficionados will. Also I think since the Stryfe X is coming out and doesn’t have these problems people are going to prefer buying that. I just hope that Dart Zone does good with people who purchased this blaster and if they release a revised model make it a free switch. While it will be unfair to review a faulty blaster I think KZreadrs should be allowed to make videos explaining the situation. I don’t like that Dart Zone is silencing KZreadrs about showing what is going on. Seems like they are going to screw over the people who already purchased the faulty one. They will release a revised version and act like this problem never happened I hope the do the right thing.

Any preexisting nstrike barrel attachments would probably hamper performance (like always) and even potentially cause jams since they weren’t designed for high fps velocities is my thought. Maybe if they made barrel attachments with a wide ID then it could work, but this is a short niche product. They barley made any attachments for Rival and that was incredibly popular in its time.

Yeah.. No! There was a time when Nerf used to do gimmicks with their blasters. Now they do gimmicks with their prices. In my opinion this is a slap in the face of the mod community because this blaster could have only been made possible with the help of the aforementioned group. They're cashing in relies on piggyback riding others ideas and innovations. Also showing up with this to a nerf battle, to me at least, would be just like a rich kid showing up to the neighbourhood custom race meeting with the latest stock Mercedes.

That seems a little extreme in my opinion anyway. The person at nerf that helped develop this blaster is a mod community member. That’s why it’s very similar. And pay to play is nothing new. Same story with the dart zone stuff there. Showing up to a war with a Nexus or Omnia is kinda “low effort” too but who cares. This and DZ pro stuff generally isn’t marketed at modders either. Just enthusiasts that don’t want to mod or have spare cash lying around.
