Nerf N Series Agility Review
June 30, 2024The Agility follows a strong tradition at Hasbro. From Maverick to Strongarm to Commander (and all the variants between), we’ve had a six-shot revolver as part of the main blaster line. Now, with N Series being released, the Agility fills that role.
If you’re investing in the new N Series ecosystem, dart exclusivity and all, it’s hard to go wrong with an easy-to-use blaster like the Agility.
Nerf N Series Infinite Review
June 16, 2024The N Series has made its debut, and between the influencer care package from Hasbro (thanks, guys!) and buying other blasters, I’ve been able to fire most of them. More importantly, fire them in actual Nerf wars. So the results have been interesting, to say the least, with both the blasters and the new N1 darts.
The Infinite is the flagship of the first blaster wave, and for $40, it’s a hard blaster to criticize. It works as advertised, features a cool ammo capacity/reloading setup, and isn’t a rehash of old designs. Whether you get it, however, comes down to your opinion on the new dart ecosystem.
Nerf Pro Gelfire Uproar Review
June 11, 2024After the debut of the Gelfire Mythic, Nerf paused any electronic/electric releases in favor of other blasters to fill in niches in the line. Shotgun? Check. Sniper rifle feel? Check. Jolt reskin? Check! And the list goes on.
Spring of 2024, however, sees the return of full-auto fire. The Gelfire Uproar boasts up to 150fps and 7 balls per second, all off of 8 AA batteries. With an MSRP half that of the Mythic, it might be a compelling option for cheap gel ball blasting. At least if you’re dipping your toes in the water and want something simple.
Adventure Force Aeon Pro X Review
May 31, 2024The Adventure Force Nexus Pro X isn’t the only new powerhouse on shelves this spring. A successor to the Aeon Pro also arrived on shelves, keeping the same relative form factor while featuring more quality of life improvements and modding potential. Aiming for 150fps may seem quaint at this point, but for fans of the top-prime setup, the Aeon Pro X makes for both a great new addition to the collection and a nice loaner for new players.
Keeping the same $25 price point? That’s icing on the cake.
Game/Event Writeup: Nerf Action Xperience Manchester
May 12, 2024As some of you know, I’ve had to pause writing between work, projects, and vacation. On that vacation, however, I did convince my wife to make a pit stop involving my hobby…
Nerf Action Xperience opened its doors in Manchester last year, at one of the city’s main shopping complexes. Even for random tourists, it felt like it was worth the money thanks to both the games played and the people we ended up playing with (a local group of 20-something coworkers). While admittedly I would have preferred less gel and more darts, the setup was still great – and I’d play again if I visited Manchester in the future.
Adventure Force Nexus Pro X Review
April 24, 2024The original Nexus Pro is four years old at this point. It helped start the trend of pro-level blasters on store shelves/websites, as opposed to hobby-related sources. In retrospect, several things have surpassed it, but for the time, at least, the score of 10/10 was well deserved.
Four years later, Dart Zone and Walmart have revamped the line! The Nexus Pro X has more power, more accuracy, more accessories, and all for the same price. And based on my extensive testing, it earns that 10/10 score, hands down.
Are you SCRD? Silly Tactical Gear Kickstarter Is Now Online!
April 12, 2024If you’ve been watching social media from either Containment Crew or Silverfox Industries, you’ve seen posts referring to new gear and different shades…and infection outbreaks. Some people even found the Kickstarter early based on the clues and got in on the Super Early specials.
Officially, though, today is launch day for the SCRD Kickstarter! This line of brightly colored tactical gear is aimed at bringing back the sillier side of the hobby, seeing as so much tactical gear in existence (be it from airsoft, paintball, or more recent foam-flinging setups) is in dark colors. We’re adults with toys, after all, so why not look like it and embrace the fun?
