For all things foamy from Blaster Reviews to NERF Wars
The Nerf N-Strike Elite Hyperfire is a full-auto flywheel blaster with some very cool, sci-fi styling while boasting an impressive rate of fire and promising better accuracy.
But does this technical wizardry make it a good replacement for the RapidStrike? Find out in our review
Released in the fall of 2013, the RapidStrike has been around for a while now, but it is still massively popular. However, newer models like the Hyperfire have eclipsed the RapidStrike’s rate of fire and accuracy.
So is the RapidStrike still the draw it once was?
The Stryfe is being discontinued by NERF. So should you get one of these semi-auto, compact and powerful blasters before they all sell-out?
Boasting a pump action, slam-fire capable mechanism in a light, reliable package that is easy to upgrade, the Alpha Trooper has been a huge hit.
However, NERF have discontinued it in many markets. So, should you be looking to buy one before they disappear?
The NERF Disruptor was released in winter of 2016 as part of the N-Strike Elite series. It is a 6 shot revolver style sidearm and bears more than a passing resemblance to the hugely popular Strongarm but without the drop cylinder, instead using a front loading design.
The big question is, does this change make it a better proposition than the Strongarm or is it just a cost saving exercise by Hasbro?
Originally launched in August 2012, the NERF Retaliator has been popular with casual NERFers and modders as it is reliable, does not require batteries.
However it does not feature slam fire and is due to be replaced by the Modulus Recon Mk2, so is it still worth looking at?
In replacing the Maverick, the Strongarm has a lot to live up to, but an updated, Elite N-Strike version of a classic NERF blaster sounds like a good thing, but how does it perform?
Let’s break the features down one by one and explain what the Strongarm can do and how it ranks as a secondary blaster.
