Nerf Atomizer Slingshot Review (1/10)


I can say I have never reviewed a bad blaster, ever. Well that streak is broken with the Atomizer Slingshot! This has had to be the most stupid blaster I've ever touched. It hits ranges of barely 5 feet with no accuracy and what really shocks me is that Nerf has made slingshot based blasters since the 1990s and it wasn't until 2003 when they finally realized the concept was absolute shit and decided not to make them anymore. Probably the best thing this is good for is to sell it to some stoner for an insane price and let them figure out what to do with it, it looks like a bong or something. Sigh... this was fun... not.

Nerf Ballzooka Review (4)

It's raining balls!
The revered Ballzooka, famous for raining foam death on Nerfer's since 1994. I managed to snatch this 20 year old ball blaster up in nearly pristine condition. Lets see how this 90's veteran holds up to modern standards today. Once, again, ball jokes not intended.

Nerf Mods & Reviews Shuts Down

2009 - 2014
This is some really disconcerting news for people who are really big into Nerf. Nerf Mods & Reviews, which was probably one of the biggest and most popular Nerf Blogs of all time, finally closed up shop today. This blog was what inspired me to take to Nerf in the first place and begin blogging so it's a real big shame to see it go after all these years. It really almost seems like a trend nowadays that most of the former big name blogs are closing up(SGNerf, Urban Taggers, SBNC, to name a few.) and it really brings an era to a close but you can't really blame them. With all the work that has been done, it really doesn't surprise me much that somebody will just get burnt out and move on with their lives. The site is still going to be active and you can still look at all that's been done over the years, but it's usually pretty quiet userwise nowadays. Nerf Mods & Reviews had quite the run, now it's over.

Nerf Zombiestrike Fusefire Review (6/10)

Light them up.
I found this Fusefire alongside the Crossfire bow and picked it up as it's not even officially released in the states yet(Canada has it officially). This glowing Vortex pistol is similar to both a Vigilon and a Proton combined and with cool looks to boot. Only problem is, the goods are even with the bads, and this fight is dirty.

Nerf Zombiestrike Crossfire Bow Review (4)

Explosive bolts not included.
I managed to snatch two of Nerf's hypothetical successors to the original Crossbow today along with a Fusefire. Considering these are seeing a very limited release right now, I picked them up on sight. Can this crossbow live up to the success and fame of it's predecessor? Lets find out.

Nerf SuperMAXX 5000 Autopsy

This isn't even my final form!
So my SM5k arrived today and I couldn't be more excited now that I have this highly coveted rifle in my possession. I pumped it up and pulled the trigger and it unleashed a nice loud pop. Unfortunately I don't have any of the stock barrels to do a full review so I rigged up a CPVC barrel nested inside of a bored out 1/2 inch PVC pipe that fits perfectly over the tank's nozzle and it works just fine. One pump is enough to send a dart around 45 feet which is very impressive and it's no shocker that this blaster can send darts over 100 feet easily. See more info after the jump.

Nerf Ball Blaster Lot Inbound

What have I done?!?!?
Oh dear... no, really. What the hell was I smoking when I decided it was a good idea to buy a lot of SEVEN ball blasters? Maybe it was the $26 dollar price tag, I don't know, I don't care, I'm just glad I got a good ol' Ballzooka to add to my collection. Along with that I got the slightly less common Cyclotron which is this weird crank operated, tube fed ball blaster. Not to mention the three Reactors and the Buzzsaw but who would ever forget the Atomizer? From was I heard, this slingshot was so bad that most people were reluctant to shell out $5 bucks for it at it's time of release and to be honest, I can't wait to review it and laugh at how pathetic it is. This is going to be a fun start for 2014.
