    Nerf Unity Power System REVIEW! Empty Nerf Unity Power System REVIEW!

    Post  SuctionCup Mon May 02, 2011 1:41 am

    Hey guys, sorry if you missed me I haven't been on in ages (I wish you guys did'nt tell me about Minecraft...)

    Nerf Unity Power System REVIEW! Nerf-u10

    Anyway - I just got a Nerf Unity Power System a while ago. I now believe I have enough noggin-info to compose a review. So here it is.

    COME WITH

    1x) Nerf TITAN AS-1
    - 1x Mega Missle
    1x) Nerf HORNET AS-6
    - 6x Micro Suctioncup (Oooh, same name as yours truly!) Darts
    1x) Nerf SCOUT IX-3
    - 3x Micro Suctioncup (Oooh - wait, see above :D) Darts

    OVERVIEW
    The Nerf Unity Power system is awe-inspiring. I have heard (Truthful) stories, and seen optimized (Modded) Titan blowing darts over 30m (100ft for you Imperial guys)! Combine the Titan, with the Hornet, AND the Scout, you have an utterly awesome (Albiet impossible to move around inside) blaster.

    TITAN AS-V.1
    The Titan is a fantastic piece of weaponry. Nerf really has hit the nail on the head by making this Titan.

    With 20 or so pumps, this thing can send the Mega Missle soaring 60ft away from you. If you have a faulty ball-bearing, (Like I do) you can aim at 45 degrees and launch the Mega Missle to go onto its maiden flight of 80FT!

    Unfortunatly, this awesome blaster is prone to air leaks, due to the excessive amout of air kept inside its small (Actually, rather large) Air resivour. You can fix this if your willing to open it up, but otherwise, it just performs a little below the "GREAT!" mark.

    POINTS OF INTEREST

    - Extremely light, you wouldn't think so, but this thing could be held by an 8YO with ease.
    - Balanced Recoil, enough to make you know you've shot the missle, but not enough to make it annoying.
    - Cool "Thoomp" sound when the Mega Missle is launched.
    - Can be attached to other guns...

    HORNET AS-6

    (SEE FOOT-NOTE)

    The Hornet is pretty cool, being able to launch either 1 dart at a time, or all 6 at the same time. Althought its range and consistency leave a lot to be desired.
    This can be clipped onto the base of the Titan, and fired via the Titans Secondary trigger. However, I sometimes have trouble un-clipping the Hornet from the base of the Titan. It may be more, the Titan, or the Hornet, but that thing just never wants to come off.

    POINTS OF INTEREST
    - Lightwight
    - Semi-Accurate (To a degree)
    - Ability to choose the amount of shots to shoot.

    SCOUT IX-1

    The Scout IX-1, its the James Bond style Nerf pistol of the year. I reckon its the coolest looking pistol Nerf has ever made, but is the Scout good in combat, or is it just a pretty wall item? Lets find out...
    The Scout is cocked via the sliding panel on the top of it. The Scout usually shoots around 10m (30-35ft) making its range allright. What this pistol lacks in range, it certainly makes up in manueverbility and aesthetics. I could wield this blaster with ease in a small Nerf War with a friend, I beat him NOT because my gun shot further, but because I could be faster with this lil' guy.

    POINTS OF INTEREST

    - Accurate (Sort-of...)
    - Looks good
    - Nice cocking mechanism, similair to the tried-and-true Maverick
    - Can be fired via a button on the Titan
    - 2-dart ammo storage (Hey, its better than none!)


    Well thank-you for reading that review. It was a pleasure to write. If you think I should incorporate other things into the review, tell me in a reply, and I will do my best.

    (Should I remove the [center] tags?)

    FootNote: Hornets commonly have leakage problems. I have fortunately got a good one, without leakages, but people often get troubled Hornets. Its just the way their made.

    Nice review, just a couple of points:

    I've seriously had no issue with air leaks in the Titan, until I did a pump replacement. The way all the vinyl tubing is connected by glue and locking-nut to the barb's is a rather efficient way to prevent leaking air. Even though frowned upon amongst most war communities, conversion to firing darts is phenomenal, with my unit exceeding 400 feet angled.

    The part of your review I struggle with the most, is no mention of performance issues with the Hornet. Unless you have one of the rare ones that work... The back-pressure tanks utilised in the Hornet are renowned for not sealing properly. With my hornet, I had only 3 of the 6 tanks sealing properly.


    With this aside, I really like your layout for the review. Nice and clean, easy to read.

    A little eye-candy:

    Yeah, a good little review. Just so you know, the hornet's more prone to breakage than the titan, usually more so when modified.
    Oops, didn't read the above post .

    Edit: Oh and I'll fix your spelling of consistency too. Supermod, awaaaayyy!

    Do you guys think I should do an individual review for each blaster? I can go into more detail that way. If I do, you could probably expect internals, mods, and links to mod-writups.

    Do you really need 20 pumps for the Titan to get +30m ranges? I suppose it's more for e-peen purposes.

    Though I've heard they're not easy to open, that you can leave a nice little plastic dent mark on it.

    4)???

    Because of the way the tanks are set-up, they tend to fail more often than not.


    @2120, you only need to open it to plug the pump. To re-barrel it, you can leave it closed. The only issue with opening it is the orange ring where the pump chambers in to the blaster.

    This is a common misconception. Mine, same with a few of us in SA, have only AR'ed ours and we get consistently 60ft from each tank, not plugged or anything.

    Sorry, I'm confused. Are you saying it's a common misconception that back-pressure tanks are poorly designed for use in Nerf guns? If so, then you're claiming that a Hornet is highly reliable?? Have I missed something here?

    Yes. An AR'ed Hornet will hit 60ft consistantly.

    No, not missing anything at all. I never mentioned anything about range. The back-pressure tanks of the Hornet are capable of hitting 100feet, in a single configuration. My statement was that they are prone to sealing issues/reliablility - a statement supported by numerous websites across the globe.
