Nerf Hyper Evolve 100 Review

Hyper, admittedly, is better when you have ammo to spare. In that sense, the Hyper Evolve 100 is a step in the right direction. It not only holds 100 rounds of ammo, but it also can be quickly refilled thanks to large hopper doors. Even so, and in spite of measures meant to improve ammo feeding, the Evolve isn’t going to be my favorite blaster for various games going forward.

It’s good. But it’s not great. Seems to be the theme for Hyper, doesn’t it?

Nerf Hyper Fuel 20 Review

The Hyper line continues! And with it comes an attempt to rectify previous issues.

As noted in other reviews, Hyper rounds tend to bind up in the hoppers, resulting in misfeeds. The Fuel 20 tries to limit this via moving plastic fins near the feed ramp. Unfortunately, misfeeds still happen, and the lack of hop-up makes the Fuel 20 inaccurate at any reasonable distance.

Dart Zone Max Tomcat Review

I’m definitely behind on reviews, but when a listing mistake leads to a massive discount on a great blaster, it’s hard to ignore. To that end, let’s look at the Dart Zone Max Tomcat, and why it’s possibly the best pro blaster of the year – with or without a sale.

I may have bought five more, if that tells you anything.

Mr Beast Nerf Pro Gelfire Announced…Already?

We’re not far into the life cycle of Nerf Pro Gelfire, and already we have a special edition of the Mythic. In a collaboration with top Youtuber Mr. Beast, Nerf has a specially colored Mythic with a low-profile hopper. The hopper does hold less ammo (~300 rounds), though.

Interestingly, the pre-order price is $70, less than the MSRP of the original. Even so, a hopper with fewer rounds does seem less appealing, famous collaboration notwithstanding. Preorders are up at Hasbro Pulse or other retailers for April of next year,

Tack Pro “Power Ring” Blaster Review

Editor’s note: due to availability issues, the price is…a guess. Sorry for the ambiguity.

Sometimes you stumble upon great deals on blasters you don’t expect to find. That was the case here; Tack Pro is a European brand, so their blasters aren’t really available in the US. They’ve also had several gauntlet-style blasters in the works; they’re notable, especially since D-Dart has shifted course in terms of producing Rival ball-firing products. So when a reseller on Amazon had the Power Ring down to $50 after a sale and discount, I jumped at the opportunity. And I wasn’t disappointed.

Nerf LMTD League of Legends Jinx Fishbone Blaster Announced!

Again, Nerf LMTD has a blaster in the pipeline. In this case, it’s a crossover with League of Legends. However, as is the trend, getting the blaster will cost you – and require waiting for at least a year before it ships. Press release below, then my thoughts!

Catching up on Nerf News!

I’m sure you’ve noticed the lack of recent posts, but there has been reason. A crazy work schedule and other events left little free time..and what time I had got used filming hilarious things for the Nerf Gelfire Challenge on TikTok. I didn’t expect to win anything, but it was still fun trying my hand at videos short and long, serious and not so serious.

In the meantime, let’s look at things happening with the Nerf brand while my writing was absent!
