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.
