Nerf Rival Heracles Review
July 10, 2019At long last, after more than a month of waiting from the original release date, my Heracles is finally here! Sometimes, the supply chain just fails.
If you’ve seen one Kronos, you’ve seen them all. The Heracles has the same great features, but gives up the smaller package in favor of ball storage. If you’re the kind of person that runs around with just a pistol, this one might be your flavor of Rival.

Fun (Future) Water Warriors? Looking at Patents
July 8, 2019I typically search for trademarks more than patents, but on occasion patent searches turn up fun things. For example, US #10,295,300. It was originally a patent in Hong Kong, but finally made it through the system and was accepted in the US as well. Buzz Bee owns it, and now might have some interesting things within future Water Warriors blasters.
Nerf Alpha Strike Announced – PR and Thoughts
July 3, 2019Yesterday, all the info got released for the Alpha Strike Line. I’ll go ahead and list it all below, along with pictures. If, however, you prefer, you can just click this PDF link for a copy to read on your own.
In addition, if you want my thoughts on the line, you can see this video – Alpha Strike is clearly aimed at taking back the low-cost blaster market from brands like Xshot.
Lots of Hobby News – Nerf, Dart Zone Pro Updates!
July 1, 2019Lots of things happened overnight into Monday. I elected to watch things unfold for a bit, sleep, and then go to work – where more things were announced, and I saw it right as I went on break. If only I could make a living off of Nerf posts!
On the plus side, waiting a little bit means we can just gather more information. On we go!
Nerf Mega Megalodon Review
Thanks to an Australian friend of mine who attended Endwar, I have one of these blasters on hand! As a fan of the Mega series, the Megalodon doesn’t disappoint – it launches Mega darts fairly rapidly, with respectable levels of power. More importantly, it does so for a good price. It’s a blaster I intend to use for many HvZ games to come.

Endwar Summaries, Day Three – The Foam Pro Tour
June 29, 2019The final day was full of fun, competitive Nerfing at Georgia Southern’s athletic fields. 16 teams went into the Foam Pro Tour, with two team emerging out of every group of four. After that, the final bracket was just single elimination (with a bronze match to boot). Team Dauntless ended up walking away the winners this year!
Assuming the brackets stay active, you can see the full bracket here!
