#290271 New "sonic Series"
Posted by Captain on 06 December 2010 - 04:49 PM in General Nerf
Excitement aside, this really is just another color gimmick to sell more blasters. I feel like Hasbro should just put more effort into coloring them to begin with rather than changing it (but of course they probably just care about sales, so the more the merrier for them). I do agree that a color other than green would be cooler. Transparent red would be sweet.
#288752 Nerf Q&a
Posted by Captain on 22 November 2010 - 10:05 PM in General Nerf
Ultimately, I think they need to focus their efforts on blaster performance. My Alpha trooper's stock range is pitiful. The recon and raider also sucked out of the box. The deploy seems to be a bit more capable, but the reverse plunger is so underpowered. I got a clear nitefinder and it's stock range is excellent. I want to see more of that.
#285552 Nerf Barricade - Reviews & Internals Guide
Posted by Captain on 16 September 2010 - 09:47 PM in General Nerf
Does anyone else notice the recent battery power trend?
Yes, and I don't like it. The Vulcan was fine, because it had a manual fire mode. You didn't need the batteries if you didn't want them. But the barricade and stampede both require batteries to work at all. What good is that? Obviously the barricade is a flywheel gun and wouldn't work otherwise, but I see no reason why the Stampede shouldn't have had a bolt for single shots.

#282456 Is The Nerf Tactical Vest Worth The $30?
Posted by Captain on 08 August 2010 - 09:05 AM in General Nerf
guess i'll just leave that to all the nerf youtubers who will be making their 10 minute long speeches while wearing their tactical vests.
Don't even joke like that.
If there's one thing I hate, it's clicking on a review video hoping to get some bits of information, only to find that it's in the range of 10 minutes long. Who would sit through that?
#276540 N-strike Barrel Break Ix-2
Posted by Captain on 31 May 2010 - 10:06 PM in News
However, I still feel like Hasbro would just use a reverse plunger anyway, because that seems like their favorite thing to do. Because I guess it's easier and cheaper for them, even though Nerf is a top selling brand and they should be able to spare some money for quality.
I am hoping for a traditional plunger setup, because that's the way it should be. Reverse plungers are only okay if the barrel is nested completely in the plunger like in the Eliminators or the Scout, so there is no dead space.
#275985 N-strike Barrel Break Ix-2
Posted by Captain on 25 May 2010 - 08:44 PM in News
I am actually excited about this. One time I had a thought:
"What if Nerf made a small double-barrel shotgun, like the Doubleshot only better/smaller?"
And then this happened. Out of nowhere. This looks pretty neat.
The rail clip ammo holder seems useful, and if nothing else cool looking. I wonder when this one's being released? Possibly alongside the Alpha-Trooper...
Thanks, Hasbro!
\/\/--Echnalaid, I feel like if it's called the Break Barrel it should load from the rear of the barrels. The barrels look too long to load from the front anyway. However, with the heads of the darts being larger the bodies, and the guaranteed presence of AR's, I can't imagine how it'd be loaded.
#275180 N-strike Alpha Trooper Cs-18
Posted by Captain on 18 May 2010 - 03:14 PM in General Nerf
In any case, it's nice of the guys at hasbro to give us the first info. In this case it's not necessarily useful because I really only had to look at the Alpha Trooper to see what it was. I look forward to more releases regardless.

#271013 Amazon And Nerf

#271006 Amazon And Nerf
Posted by Captain on 01 April 2010 - 07:20 PM in General Nerf
I became frustrated when I tried to find a website to buy an Atom Blaster, and found only Amazon actually had any. There is only 1 for sale there, and it's priced at 59.99. That's completely ridiculous for something that retailed for around 5-6 dollars. The Amazon seller is here: http://www.amazon.co...2N6N&rh=&page=1
Most of the stuff they sell is also overpriced.
While the Atom Blaster is discontinued, and it would make some sense for it to be more expensive than original retail, 59.99 is just way too much. There are plenty of current products that are also priced unfairly.
So, I would like to discuss this. Does anyone know why this is? You won't believe how hard it is to find Atom Blasters...

Anyway, amazing job with this. It should fetch some serious dough.
#269543 Nerf Big Blast
Posted by Captain on 18 March 2010 - 06:07 PM in General Nerf
The name is not only generic, but it's been used already by Buzz Bee! I mean, seriously? Who's the one in charge of naming the new blasters?
The way I see it, this new blaster probably won't be all that and a bag of chips. It's battery powered for one thing, which I don't like at all. It's another clip system gun from the sound of it (or at least, from the mission kit associated with it). This all just seems boring and it's probably going to make for a mediocre gun.
The guys at Hasbro are probably pretty pissed now that the secret's out. Anyone who cares about this gun and has internet access will know all about it by the time it's "unveiled." I can at least chuckle at that.

The worst part with the clips is that I have several and the strength of their springs varies a lot, and one has a really strong spring that tends to squash darts if it's left loaded. My original longshot and recon clips are great because the springs have been worn and they don't put unnecessary force on the darts.

#264164 Your Late Model Ballgun, And How To Make Her Awesome!
Posted by Captain on 02 February 2010 - 07:03 PM in Modifications
Testicle humor? Like any of us would have the balls to try that, with such strict administration.I had a funny feeling that this thread was going to devolve in to testicle humor. I'm SO happy that's not the case!
Anyway, awesome job. I always loved how my Buzzsaw made the balls float across the air and go pretty long distances, but I hated the noise.

#262258 Longstrike Cs-6 Revealed
Posted by Captain on 18 January 2010 - 11:42 AM in General Nerf
That's actually really interesting. I hope we'll see some different stuff in the future.In agreement with dizzyduck, I highly suggest that everyone take a few minutes to read this article.
While I certainly don't acknowledge the continuation of this argument, I felt that everyone involved should be aware of preceding events.
It seems weird though, how he said that pressurized air blasters didn't have as much modding potential.

Where does it say redshift? Maybe Im blind but where do you see that?Interesting, on that list the Longstrike is named the Redshift instead. Why couldn't they have colored it red rather than blue and named the retail version the Redshift? It's less confusing for everyone that way.
So, where did you find the pictures? Someone seems to have acquired and unboxed it, maybe they could be contacted?

I don't know about anyone else, but I've lost faith. It seems whoever is running the nerf brand at hasbro doesn't care about the things we want (as we are a minority) and I don't think we're going to see any new blasters that we'd consider good.
