Ok first off the most important thing you should know about this gun is DONT BUY IT. Now to go into more detail as to way not to buy it.
Walking around Elizabeth last night, I found myself in Target and to my surprise I found this. *JUMPS UP AND DOWN* All excited I ignored the fact that it's $80.00, on comparison it's not that bad same price as a Long strike when it first came out.
Anyway after the drive home, popped out my hobby knife to open the box. First glace it's packaged really well almost no movement in the box and all the parts are sturdy. After taking it apart and starting to assemble, that's when it starts to hit you that maybe they didn’t think this through as mush as they should have.
-THE STOCK-
This box states "Sturdy Removable Stock", now we all know that sturdy and removable simply do not come with a Nerf stock unless it's home made. The construction itself is solid; it's how it joins in that’s crap. The stock attaches like a Long shot front gun except for the bottom brace just has one of those balls on a spring to click into place. So the slightest bit of pressure and it pops out on an angle.
-THE BI POD-
Ok this is just S*#T. Its 1mm think plastic that looks like it has been placed on backwards. And as far as I can tell has no way of "clicking" I so it stays deployed. Suggested use "Rip off and throw at your enemy's in hope the fall over laughing at you"
-THE CLIP-
I don’t mind the clip it's basic and effective. Simple design where 8 small plastic barrels are moulded together with a guide rail at each end. The clip feeds sideways into the main blaster. To prime the next shot you must crank a bolt action 'bolt' back and forth (no whipping your hair) which is smooth and cool.
-THE SCOPE-
Throw it out. It’s a plastic tube with a crappy not even straight cross hair that doesn’t line up with anything.
-AMMO PREP-
In a line *Too much effort*. basically you need to pull out eight pellets, sock them for 10 seconds then fiddle with their soft squishy a$$ crap to get them into the dam clip with out them falling apart on you. Then fire them before they dry otherwise they jam. Second option *EASY ONE* dry load into clip and ram the whole clip under water. This works way better also stops the ammo from deforming and gives the shot some shred or accuracy.
-THE GUN-
The main blaster is sturdy and well built. The only real issue's is well all its feature and advertised specs. There is no trigger, you have to pull back and let go to get it to fire. So if it's not a smooth release your shots going to suck. Second is the range, box boast's 100ft in actual fact you would be very lucky to hit 75. And to make that worse shooting at my front door from about 40ft away it is almost impossible to hit the middle consistently. Its accuracy is absolutely crap house.
Over all a very disappointing gun, you better off trying to sprint and shank the person you’re shooting at it would be quick and you'd have a better chance to hit them.
Plus side ammo is cheep just squish up some paper and ram it in the clip.
Faytzero out!
And here's a link for it.
