Performance
Pros:
"It has tremendous range, does not jam, highly accurate with third party darts and is easy to load and shoot."
"It shoots further and more accurate then the Spectre and Maverick right out of the box."
"This is a powerful little nerf gun that definitely reaches the target."
"It shoots pretty hard for Nerf stock."
"The item boasts excellent fit and finish."
"It shoots straight & fast and it has a 6 dart barrel(meaning you have 6 rounds before a reload)."
"The thing is surprisingly accurate for about 10-15 feet."
Cons:
"Quickly starts jamming and firing inconsistently."
"Shoots down and never correctly out of the chamber before crashing like a limp noodle."
"The first one I bought was shooting much lighter than other blasters."
"Super bummed! The thing misfires almost every time and when it does shoot it's crazy inaccurate."
"Fire Power is awful and trajectory is LACKING."
"The biggest issue with this model by far is that it is wildly inaccurate."
"Sometimes the darts barely make it out of the gun and fall miserably to the ground just several feet in front of you."
Design & Build Quality
Pros:
"Great colors and love that it came with pink darts to complete the look."
"Love the transparent plastic, makes it look a lot nicer than the usual Nerf colors."
"The rotating barrel seems really well thought out and all though this is merely plastic it still feels well made and fairly ergonomic."
"The revolver is a nice touch, being able to pop it out for reloading is convenient."
"The barrel flips out for easy reload & the grey arm can adjust for rapid fire mode."
"The strong arm is a classic Nerf blaster."
"It’s easy to prime and fire."
Cons:
"Also, the guns are really small - about half the size I would have expected."
"Now I don't think I have particularly wide fingers, but the bottom three are squished together trying to grip this, as if someone were giving me an overly aggressive handshake."
"The barrel was loose and wobbled, 4 of the 6 darts had impact scratches on the orange head, the barrel release button is stiff and scratched, also several nicks and scratches along the barrel and handle."
"Feel a little bit misled by the photos. This gun is quite small."
"The paint job is very poorly done, blue ink features are all blurry and sloppy looking."
"For one, the handle just feels cramped."
"Cheap plastic. Paint was inconsistent."
Safety & Suitability
Pros:
"Eye protection is a must."
"I immediately made her put on eye protection when firing it because it blasts."
"It might even be best to wear clear sports glasses (like racquetball glasses) to avoid accidents depending on is using the blaster."
"Never ever fire at any animals... Never ever fire at any person unless the following is adhered to: The other person must be wanting to play AND they have a gun of their own."
"Definitely educate not to shoot each other in the face."
"With the rule that it’s not to be pointed at any living thing."
"I would definitely suggest to get the safety goggles with them as my son got shot in the eye and cried for about an hour."
Cons:
"I only gave it 4 out of 5 stars because it's SUPER powerful and can kinda hurt if you're shooting at someone too close to you."
"IT LEFT WELTS."
"These guns have some POWER. They're enough that shooting someone at point blank range will definitely sting a bit, but not actually hurt."
"The bullets sting a little when you get shot but even hits to the face weren't too bad."
"So, they ended up not being great for shooting each other because they left some bruising."
"If standing within a 7 foot distance or closer and it mistakenly hit someone it definitely may hurt."
"My son fell playing with it and the random point at the base of the handle went into his side."
