Nerf Pro Gelfire Ghost Review

The Nerf Pro Gelfire line didn’t exactly have a start that yelled “Powerhouse”. The Mythic shot at lower velocities than most other major competitors, and the Legion, while inexpensive, had its own issues.

With this fall’s releases, the Gelfire line improves upon its less than impressive beginnings. The Ghost may not have the highest rate of fire, but it offers both a unique method of play and (and I’m startled to say this) actual accuracy. Accuracy by volume might still be king, but the option of “sniping” at least is worth a look.

Dart Zone Max Omnia Pro…Initial Drama Recap?

Is it fair to give the Omnia Pro a straight review at this time? Perhaps not. Dart Zone has all but officially announced they’re pulling the Omnia off the metaphorical shelves until new (and properly working) units arrive. But it seems irresponsible to ignore the many issues that I and others have seen with the initial wave. Especially since many of us (myself included) paid the $90 price tag.

As such, let’s do a recap of the Wave One Omnia! Continue reading

Nerf Pro Stryfe X Review

Note: Hasbrk sent a free sample! Thanks, guys!

A day after the official announcement, I had a Nerf Pro Stryfe X appear at my doorstep. After spending several days tearing it apart, putting it back together, and using the blaster to shoot my friends, I can say that the Stryfe X Is a solid, if imperfect, step in the right direction for Hasbro.

Out of Darts Announces the Nerf Pro Stryfe X!

After seeing the news while working (and taking time to take in the conversations press releases, and pictures), I can finally post and comment!

Starting with a blaster review on Out of Dart’s Youtube channel, Hasbro has announced the Nerf Pro Stryfe X! It’s a great update to a beloved platform…but it raises both praise and concern. More after the jump!

Xshot Skins Lock Review

At first, it appeared the Skins line would, aside from the shell changes necessary for the printing technology to work, retread on old Xshot designs. Luckily, that is not the case!

The Xshot Skins Lock offers an eight shot, lever-action revolver with a combination lock! Once you unlock the blaster, it’s yours to use (or prevent others from using). The latter part doesn’t personally appeal to me…but between the performance and play value, it would make a great addition to a kid’s arsenal.

Xshot Insanity Mad Mega Barrel Review

The Xshot Insanity series is a great refresh for Zuru’s blaster lineup, and the Mad Mega Barrel is no exception. It’s comfortable, easy to use, and features an insane-looking (but easy to handle) 72-dart clip. Add in the ammo storage, slam-fire, and the ability to connect to other blasters, and it’s a great time for users young and old.

Dart Zone Max Outlaw Review

It’s finally here! The Dart Zone Outlaw is hitting shelves, and I got to play a few rounds of HvHvZ this past weekend with them in hand. It would seem that, while the Dart Zone Pro line doesn’t always meet expectations, the Dart Zone Max line showcases the best parts of competitive foam flinging for the general public. Playing the cowboy while doing it is just icing on the cake.
