Review: Buzz Bee Double Drum (15m)
September 23, 2017The Double Drum, better known as the Barbarian, formerly Blizzard, is another new Buzz Bee blaster based on an older design. It is a pump-to-fire blaster fed from two large cylinders, very similar to the older Buzz Bee Sidewinder. Given I was pleasantly surprised by the latter blaster, I held some hope that this blaster would be decent, despite its pump-to-fire nature.

Nerf Nitro Motofury Rapid Rally Review
September 16, 2017This is a review that’s been long overdue. I first got to see Nerf Nitro at Toy Fair. I’ve had the Motofury in my possession for many months, taken it to events like Foamcon, and even opened it up for science. Somehow, though, the car blaster got buried as work and life marched on. Only today did I come across it again, and realize just how much fun I’d been missing.
The Motofury Rapid Rally is the largest launcher in the Nitro lineup; it is also motorized for semi-auto, well, auto blasting. And for some strange reason, it’s ridiculous fun for people of any age.
Nerf News: 2018 Spring Blasters – Official Product Details
September 13, 2017During the 2017 Hascon Event, Hasbro revealed a number of exciting new Nerf blasters. If you’ve been keeping up with the leaked Nerf news, you may already recognise some of the blasters that were displayed. With all that said, there were still a few surprises. Unfortunately the BlasterHub team couldn’t make it to the event but thanks to social media and Nerf YouTuber, LordDrac, we’ve got a good glimpse of what was shown off.
Nerf Game Report 2/9/17: Melbourne HvZ
September 7, 2017Today at Melbourne HvZ we introduced a new zombie, the Mega zombie, and spent much of the day play-testing it. In this Nerf Game Report, I’ll be going through the blasters that saw use, the game modes we played, and in particular how the Mega zombie affected games.
Nerf News: The Stryfe Returns! – Modulus Stryfe found on Amazon.com
September 3, 2017Reddit user ‘Willmenx’ has stumbled across a new Stryfe blaster on Amazon.com. Along with the new Modulus colour scheme, the re-released blaster also includes the original Modulus grip and the Ion-Fire’s barrel, as well as six modulus darts and a six-dart magazine.
Review: Buzz Bee Eradicator (15m)
September 1, 2017The Buzz Bee Eradicator is a recolour of the new and predominantly blue Tactical Storm. It is a modular mag fed blaster, not dissimilar in design to the older Champion/Ultra Tek 8. Given the excellence of that particular blaster, I was rather excited to give this new iteration a test.

Boomco Lives! News on the Halo Blaster Line
August 31, 2017
Thanks to @Halo_gen2 on Instagram, we have new info on this holiday season for the Boomco line.
The Blaze of Glory, a pump action, clip fed blaster, will be out in November for $34.99 at Toysrus, the starting home for most Halo blasters. In addition, a new blue version of the MA5 assault rifle will be exclusive to Amazon. As you may recall, Amazon also carried the blue version of the Rapid Madness when it first came out.
Along with the blasters, a new helmet/camera mount will be available at Gamestop, for those wanting to pretend they’re actually Master Chief. Previously, Gamestop carried the light-up Plasma Sword.
No word yet on camera compatibility, although some kind of Gopro mount would make sense.
This has me excited, as Boomco fans like myself have been wanting a pump-action springer since the line first arrived. My Flipbow has worked wonderfully for HvZ games, but the Blaze of Glory would easily replace it in my loadout.
