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."
