Hi. I just won 2 SM250's on eBay without any ammo, and before they get here, I'd like to know which kind of ammo they use. I was looking on the ammo order form on the Hasbro website, but SuperMaxx 250 was nowhere on there. However, all of the other SM's and Airtechs, as well as the Wildfire and Powerclip take the same kind of ammo according to the sheet, so I was wondering if the SM250 uses the same type? I need some replacement darts for my AT's anyway, so it would be pretty convenient if they were. Thanks in advance for the help.

The answer is yes, the Sm250 use the same ammo as your airtech guns, micro darts are what you need.

Great! Thanks for the help. *Goes to order darts*

Edit: I might as well ask this now, too. There's a Gyro Strike (in box) on eBay (but you have to use the Buy It Now thing) for, I think, 12 bucks. Wondering if this gun is worth that, or if it's just another P.O.C.

The gyro strike isn't a very good gun at all if your planning on playing with modded guns, its only been modded to shoot micros as far as I know by Fallen Hero. Also you can make your own ammo if you didn't already know, it's much easier but they won't work on sm 250 unless you do a barrel modification.

Hey, Volt- the SuperMAXX 250 is an average spring pistol if you modify it decently. Otherwise, I think you'll be a little bit let down. It's the original model of the Airtech 1000 that you might see still in stores. As far as the Gyrostrike, it's supposed to be mediocre, but the main problem is the ammo type. It uses a strange form of arrow that only it uses. If you don't have any or it doesn't come with any, you're out of luck. You're much better off getting an Airtech 2000 or something like that. Good luck!

Well, no Gyro Strike then. Thanks.
I don't really mind if the SM250 isn't great, since I'm not using it in any serious wars or anything, and it was a good deal. I just sorta wanted a gun with an auto-rotating barrel, since it's a little annoying to manually rotate and pump a few times for my AT2K.

There is a gun called the tech-six or something along those lines in stores. It is pretty much the same as a SM250, except it has 6 autorotating barrels. Also, the barrels are actually barrels, unlike the 4 posts of the SM250. The barrels protect the posts from bending during harsh play.

When you get ammo get the red suction tip darts. Their called "Airjet Micro Darts" These are some of the best darts out there. Here are some other types of ammo.

Well, I just got the SM250's in the mail anyway, (or so my mom says. I'll have to wait 'til I get home at the end of the day to see them, though) so I probably won't need this Tech 6 thing. Is it a Nerf gun though, or another imitation product? Well, even if it is, I haven't had much luck finding anything at local stores. ShopKo only has the NF, TTG, and Atom things (for dirt cheap, though), and Wal Mart doesn't have anything. I was going to check out Target, but I've had no time lately. If the Tech 6 is an official Nerf blaster, I'll try to get it, since I guess I do need more automatics...

Edit: Sorry, another question. The Hasbro ammo order form says it could take 4-6 weeks for delivery. I'd like to have ammo by next Friday, so, is there another, faster way to get the same type of darts? eBay doesn't have any, just the new micro darts (and for twice the price they should be).

Your local toys r us should have some darts. Or target, wal-mart, ect. Just check around, at my target theres like 20 packs of micro darts.

[VoLT]

Are you sure they aren't the newer ones, the red ones with the black whistling tips? Because those don't work with Laramis. Well, I'm going to TRU tomorrow or Monday to sheck out their Nerf stock, so I'll look for any old Micro darts. I also just realized that mega darts work with the SM250, but they don't fire as far or hard.

[UpGraD3]

They work for supermax 250's.

[VoLT]

Huh... silly me. They do work... I guess it's just the black ones that come with the NF that don't work very well. Well, thanks. You just saved me $10.
By the way, has anyone seen an AT4K or 3K at a local store lately? My friend said he saw one, (he says he can't remember where ) but I haven't seen one yet... of course, the only places I've checked are ShopKo and Wal Mart.

I have an SM250, but I found that airjet micro darts tear because the holes in the back are too small for the pegs on the sm250.

Tech 6 isn't automatic, its a springer, but the barrel rotates automatically like a SM250 does. It's not nerf, but the internals are pretty much the same, and I bet it is cheaper since some knockoff company made it. I saw a whole bunch on my last trip to Toys-R-Us, but that was about two months ago, don't know if they are still sold. It was just a suggestion, the SM250 and Tech 6 are both good pistols for indoor wars.
