Nerf Zombiestrike Slingfire Review (7/10)

The difference between me and the Rapid Fire Rifle? I don't suck.

When the Slingfire was revealed I instantly knew I had to get one. Something about lever actions totally draws me to them. Maybe it's the fact you can do all those fancy tricks involving the lever? I don't know I just went ahead I got two the only way I could at the moment. Let's just say I am far from disappointed. See why after the jump.

Nerf Elite Rhino Fire: What is this...

D-Day all day, everyday.

So is this the long awaited Vulcan successor we've been speculating about all along? I mean holy crap this thing is outrageous looking. This is technically Nerf's anti aircraft gun, twin 25 round drums, fully automatic fire, and double barrels... moving double barrels like a Pulsator. So far it has 90 foot range claims but we don't know what firing system it uses, I'm going to assume flywheel since that seems to be the "big" thing nowadays with Nerf and plus the gray part on the front of the shell looks like it would house flywheels(*lies down, tries not to cry, cries a lot*) So it might just be two Rapidstrikes with more powerful motors attached to one another.Oh and the price? $100 US dollars... oh dear. It's not like two of my most recent purchases were over $100. Well, still more worth it than the Cam ECS-12.

Nerf MEGA Thunderbow Review (8/10)

Protect your knees.

Ah, nothing beats getting a product ahead of official release. It makes you feel so... rebellious. This monstrosity right here is Nerf's first MEGA Bow, the Thunderbow. It's a Nerf bow that actually works kind of like the real deal only it's not and pretty obvious it's not when you got 5 rounds of rapid fire death attached to the front of the the thing like someone finally decided having one shot was just pathetic. Lets dive into this blaster and see what the MEGA line has to offer again.

Nerf Thunderbow and Slingfires Inbound!

Two lever actions are better than one. Add a bow and you're in business.

You gotta love knowing your resources. I decided to snatch these up and they should be arriving within a few days. I bought two Slingfires for the obvious reason, to dual wield the bastards and go Terminator of course. I also decided to get a Thunderbow because, well I quite like it and I'm highly curious of it's potential. If Nerf claims 100 feet with Megas(Well of course that's probably angled ranges) imagine what kind of a plunger this thing has and what a good rebarrel would do to it. Reason why I didn't get a Demolisher? I actually don't really care for that glorified Stryfe that much, although I probably will end up getting one in the future so you can somewhat count on that one happening. In the mean time I'm pretty amped. You can expect reviews coming soon.

Mattel BOOMco. Rapid Madness Review (4.5)

Fast death to your foes.

So it all starts like this, I was at Target hoping to find some goodies, particularly the Slingfire on the shelves ahead of schedule. As I was expecting it wasn't there so I talked to an employee who said if he had it in the back he would get it for me but there weren't any shipments of the 2014 Nerf gear in yet so I was out of luck. That was when I came across this gem, the Rapid Madness tucked away on an endcap along with the rest of the BOOMco. lineup so I picked this up considering it was the only thing on the market close to a Magstrike or PowerClip in function and lets just say, it got it right.

Running Out of Water: 2014 Super Soakers

I couldn't agree more when I came across Bazookafied's rant over the new Super Soaker lineup and after taking a closer look at it now, what a mess. Honestly, ever since Larami was dissolved, Super Soaker was practically destined for a downhill ride, and the effects of it are clearly showing ever since the brand was integrated into Nerf. Somehow, Hasbro went from obtaining a brand who produced some of the most badass and high powered water guns on the face of the earth to turning that around into these electric and push pull soakers that work slightly better than your average higher end dollar store water gun. Seriously, Super Soaker's future is drying up rather quickly, and it shocks me how easily Hasbro could recover it from this dry spell the brand is facing.

New 2014 Nerf Blasters

It's been a while since I've posted anything Nerf related because... well, there hasn't really been anything to post about. I've gotten a little sidetracked on some reviews and I should get to them eventually before they become old news. So for the moment I decided to compile a list of Nerf blasters being released for the 2014 Nerf year. From what I've seen, we have a mix of new ideas like the Slingfire, a few not so inventive and somewhat outlandish blasters like the Cam ECS-12, and of course the repaints, we absolutely "LOVE" repaints. Let's dive into what Nerf has in store for us.
