Nerf Alpha Trooper review

Introduction: It's practically a mini cute Raider, which also has the slam fire option. But it is not to be under-estimated. Instead of a front grip, Nerf has used a cylinder pump grip. It is similar to a shotgun but the only difference is that it wraps around the whole barrel. Also, its jam door is located at the top of the barrel. When it is fully primed, it will be covered by the primer. It has a stock holder but doesn't come with a stock. Also, it has an 18-dart drum clip which is considerably smaller than the Raider's 35-dart drum clip, in fact, it looks downright ...............tiny. But it does hold enough darts for you to launch 3 barrages of darts.

Overall size: Its the thinnest gun I've ever seen, around 2 inches in length. And it is as long as the Raider without the stock.

Darts: Streamlines.

Nerf Longstrike CS-6

Introduction: Sure its cool to be have the longest and slim-est(In my opinion) gun of all. But in reality,  it should be named Garand CS-6 instead(M1 Garand rifle). It is lighter than the Longshot and has a bulkier stock. But in ranges, the old trusty Longshots win, especially when modified. It comes with 2 clip holders(in the stock) and a barrel which I suppose increases the coolness of the gun but decreases balance when aiming. comes with only 1 clip. But if you buy the Bandoiler Kit, it will look much better with clips in the side and being slung over your back(Note that the other guns, Longshot, Recon, Raider and Deploy do not look as good as the Longstrike slung behind your back, in fact I've tried doing that with the Longshot and it just kept on slipping and hitting my ankle which hurts a lot, the Raider, can't be slung over since it has the rather heavy drum clip, Recon, doesn't look good, Deploy, definitely not). Back to the Longstrike, it also comes with a flip out sight which I think it just increases coolness.

Overall size: More than 3 feet long with barrel. And probably a couple of inches longer than the Lnogshot.

How to use: It's handle points to 4 o'clock when viewed from the left side. So, its kinda hard to fire it when holding it too high. It's stock is also longer than the Longshot's, Recon's or Raider's. So it cannot be held the same way. For better balance, place the stock against your shoulder. And the normal procedures. If you feel uncomfortable holding the slanted handle so high, then maybe try to lower it.

Darts: CS=Clip-system
            Clip-system=Clip-system darts
            Clip-system darts= Streamlines
            CS guns= ONLY STREAMLINES!

Tactical Attachments: The barrel and the sight which increases coolness. It increases the weight but it is a small price to pay just to frighten your enemy.

P.S. Never leave a gun primed. Half-way or not. Or the spring will lose it's potential energy.

Nerf Vulcan EBF-25 review

Introduction: Its a heavy and static machine gun. It is 3kg with the batteries inserted inside. It comes with a tripod which makes it good for holding a position. Also, it can be fitted with a belt to improve mobility, but it also decreases manueverbility because the belt(if it is the belt which comes in the value pack) is too short for it, and therefor, it bumps into your waist when you run. It can fire up to 3 darts per second. If it doesn't, all you have to do is just change the batteries.

How to use: When holding a position, its best to lie down flat to allow the darts fired at you to hit the gun instead of yourself. It also allows you to have more manueveriblity than when you are crouching. When standing, you can either use to hook by holding it with your other hand ir you can support the barrel with the other hand. But each use has it's advantages. By holding it at the hook, you can adjust the range easily, by holding the barrel,you getto increase mobility, but it will tire you arm faster.

Darts: Works best with whistler darts. Can also use micro sonic darts. Suction darts are also able to be fitted and fired, but it won't achieve the range of the whistler darts. Streamlines are not encouraged to be used.

Tactical attachments: If you're moving, none. Its heavy enough already. If you're holding a position, then knock your self out with whatever you have.

My opinion: Flagship for everyone's Nerf arsenal.

P.S. It is OK to leave the switch on without fearing the batteries will drain because it is not like the Barricade. Though, it's safety catch is off and if anyone touches it, it will fire.

Nerf Baricade RV-10

Introduction: Its a fully fledged semi-automatic pistol any wanna-be-cop child would want. It can fire 1.5 darts a second. It does jam sometimes when fired too fast. It has a 10 dart rotating barrel. Unlike the Maverick and the Spectre, it's barrel cannot be  flipped out. Instead it has to be flipped out which I find hard to do. In uses a pinwheel system instead of being pushed out by air. It uses 3 AA batteries to opperate. It also has a jam door and a stock holder(stock not included).

Overall size: Coming soon

How to use: When you attach the stock, it looks way cooler. With the Recon's stock and the pinpoint sight, its a fully fledge M1-Garand like pistol. Place your trigger hand on the handle, but finger off the trigger or you might end up shooting the ceiling, floor or (if you're unlucky) your foot. With stock, place your other hand on the piece plastic underneath the barrel. Without stock, then you can be a cop and support it at the handle unlike the Maverick.

Darts: Every kind. Except for the streamlines which can go up to 5 feet due to the fact that it is slimmer(diameter) than the average dart.

Tactical attachments: Pinpoint sight and a color matching stock. Preferably a Recon's.

My opinion: Good for clearing a position or doing a reconaisse. A small gun which is not to be underestimated.

P.S. Try not to on the switch before going into battle or you might find that your batteries will be less powerful in future. They might also run out of electricity, so change the batteries if it is not as powerful as before. For re-using, put them into the air conditioner remote instead.
