Also, is the rapid fire 20 significantly better than the wildfire? If so, how?

You may be okay in a close range war, but once you fire all your darts, you are totally screwed.
Plus, let's just say with my SM1500, I can put four darts in, pump it twice, and fire all four of them strategically at the right time. With automatic weapons, you have little (if any) control, and the range isn't very good. Believe me, by the time it would take you to reload twenty darts, and pump the gun forty times, you'd be shot several times.

All those 20 shots of yours are worth absolutely shit if you're taken down at 80 feet away. Likewise, the one shot is absolutely shit if it misses you...but that person with the Xbow or BBB usually has a chance at one or two more shots.
I don't know of alot of people that don't integrate something in their Xbows or BBB's to compensate for the one, long range shot. It's not like we're in the civil war here, it doesn't take 3 minutes to reload and fire once. Especially with a breech loading Xbow or BBB.
It also depends on the game you're playing. I don't know how you play, but most East / West Coast variants play so that gun hits count, unless you have a Manta Ray or something (which is extremely unlikely). Come to any of the large wars - and I'm willing to bet your big ass WF will get hit quite a bit if you swing it out infront of you to block.
Like Grinch said, the time it takes to prime and shoot off 20 rounds from a RF20 or WF is going to allow them plenty of time to shoot at you. Even if you do manage to get into close quarters, I know of very few people who use a modded Xbow / BBB and don't take a sidearm.

But seriosley, automatic guns are better for indoor wars and speed ball. But high-powered, long range weapons are usually better for outdoor wars.

Perfectly stated, and since most of us here Nerf outdoors over 90% of the time, I believe G.I. Nerf can go to MUTHA-FUCKIN HELL!!!But seriosley, automatic guns are better for indoor wars and speed ball. But high-powered, long range weapons are usually better for outdoor wars.
At any rate, a properly modded PC is better than either of the 20-shots. IMO more accurate, and much faster to reload.

Welcome to Nerf Haven. Anyways, to answer this question, I will say that the RF20 takes a shorter amount of time to pump to full pressure, and has an optional single-shot function that is good for people with itchy trigger fingers. However, it doesn't have a strap or pressure-gauge, I think... It mostly comes down to your personal preference on the matter.Also, is the rapid fire 20 significantly better than the wildfire? If so, how?

Umm, was the person trying to ambush you your 3 year old sister or something?Wanna noe sumthing?I got rushed by a rf20 at about 10 feet away, and none of the fucking darts evar hit me.Go ahead and tell me what are the chances of surviving something like than when you're ambushed in the same position with a crossbow.

But who really cares? If you wanna eat shit, use a crossbow or a BBB or somethin'. If you wanna rush, use an auto. Or, if you don't give a fuck, use whatever weapon best suits you.

As others have said out doors long range weapons are more desireable. The higher power makes it more difficult to avoid the shots. The RF20 in an open area is usually easy to dodge because the rounds are comming in at a lower velocity and lack range. Using automatics against a higherpowered single shot weapon means you need to be able to close distance fast and run down your opponent, where with a long range gun you don't need to do this.

In reguard to unloading all 20 darts and then being screwed, when are you going to do that? If you're close enough to be effective, you should be able to squeeze off voleys of five or six darts and hit what you want to hit, so you should have four good voleys of darts per priming, and you can prime without spending them all.
Comparing the RF 20 and the Wildfire, I am under the impression that the wildfire was alot more prone to leaks. Also, if you look in the right places, you should be able to get a RF NiB in most stores, whereas the wildfire is only going to show up at yardsales and e-bay.

Ok. I have been sprinting to the point of a cramp, and Ray shoots me with his Crossbow right in my chest. That guy can hit a moving target at like 50 ft no problem. I think just about any of the Yano/Lano participants can vouche for that one. But yea, hitting a moving target at 100 ft is pretty fucking hard. But get within 60 and you're hatin' it.If they're moving then just forget about it.
Personally, I like my Uruk-Hai crossbow with the nite finder for a side arm.
