Nerf HailFire


This blaster performs well overall. This blaster gets about 45-50 ft on average in hallway range tests (flat at shoulder height).The Hail-fire has decent accuracy considering it's a bulky, short-barreled blaster that fires clip system darts, but don't expect it to be a one-shot sniper. The darts curve and fishtail a bit as clip system darts are prone to do, but they do maintain decent accuracy over a reasonable range. I see the stock Hail-fire as more of a rushing weapon than a long-range weapon when compared Vortex blasters, but it you're facing stock N-strike blasters this blaster can be like artillery, laying down enough covering fire that some of it is bound to hit. It's nowhere near as accurate as Nerf shows in this video, but with its high RoF and capacity it can still take out targets quickly. One thing i dont like is that this isnt automatic I wish it were like the Rapidstrike where it shot out rapidly instead of constantly pressing the trigger. It is also a bit heavy but you will get used to it after a while. This gun is not a must have but it will look nice with the collection. Overall it is a 8/10 

Nerf StrongArm

The Nerf StrongArm is AMAZING! An elite version of the maverick and it isnt just a repaint it actually has some new features. It now has a full barrel drop for that old western feel and adds a nice elite since to the name. The gun averages 72 feet which is pretty good considering how far the maverick went. There is one bad thing to this gun, it only takes elite darts so if you wanted to put in some streamlines think again. But the gun feels so nice and has a very smooth feel to it so that adds points on to this gun. This is a must have for all pro nerfers and gets an outstanding 10/10

Nerf Maverick

I first must say that the Nerf Maverick is probably the best Nerf gun of the N-Strike series. The revolver nerf is a must have for anyone looking for a nerf gun. What isnt there to like it has up to a 50 feet range. Tactical Rail on the top and is compact enough to fit in a book bag. To me there are to minor downsides to this gun. 1. The barrel down have a full drop to the side of the gun it just pokes out enough for you to stick in 2 or 3 bullets but this isnt necessarily a bad thing
2. It is kind of bulky I wish that it could have been made a little smaller but the size it is at is fine.
I personally know many people (co workers, friends etc.) who have this gun but dont even like nerf. They have it because it is fun for all. This proves that anyone can pick this gun up and have a blast. Overall it is a 9/10

Nerf Alpha Trooper

The Nerf N Strike Alpha Trooper is an ok gun. First I must say you absolutely have a stock on this gun or the aim wont be too great. The good thing about this gun though is that it comes with a drum for you bullets which makes it seem more compact. The slam fire mechanism in this gin is not too good and i dont recommend slam firing.  Almost every time I slam fire with this gun it jams and possibly destroys a bullet. Overall it is a good gun for beginners but a poor nerf gun for pros. This gun gets a 6/10

Nerf Elite Retalitator

So the Nerf Retalitator is a pretty sick gun. When all attachments are off you have a pistol, and when fired it reaches an average of 70 feet! That is awesome alone right there. When the advertised distance is 75 feet and when all attachments off are 70 feet that means you should be hitting some serious long shots in a nerf war. Now lets talk about the stock. The stock on this gun is absolutely amazing! The N Strike version of this gun (Recon CS 6) had included a stock that was incredibly wobbly and the new stock on the Retalitator is almost solid which means when you fire there will be a much added stability from the stock. Now the muzzle has not much to talk about. All that I have observed is that it helps keep the bullet on a straight path when it first comes out. The assault grip is FANTASTIC! I put it on all of my nerf guns because it feels amazing and adds a little more stability.  Overall this gun is a must have for every nerfer and gets a 9/10
