Nerf N-Strike Elite Stryfe Blaster (Colors May Vary)

I find this more then met and in many areas exceeded my expectations.It is far more powerfull then I thought it would be(It hurts!) and as with my firestrike these tests were performed with less then brand new batteries, so I can only assume the difference with more powerfull or higher end batteries, it also has more range then I thought and is far more reliable and accurate then I had hoped.Again tho, I am failing to understand most of the gripes associated with this weapon... many say it lacks power, it is the most powerfull flywheel weapn I have encountered, some say it lacks accuracy, no more so then others...And all these "Jamming" problems.... what/where is the problem? I noticed no visible difference between the new darts that came with it(elites) and my old darts that are well used and in most cases kinda boned up(still elites) the weapon has yet to jam for something that wasnt my fault, when it is loaded and used properly it works with no problems what-so ever.Aside from the possibility of more power or to make it take the old clips better, I really see no reason to do any of the reccomended mods, I have had no problems with the dart or clip sensor at all!, and I tried both the 6 shot, 12 shot and 18 shot clip, in addittion to the 18 shot firefly clip, all worked with no problems.Do people know what their talking about or are only a handfull of us getting working products?, again this is with NOT NEW BATTERIES!, so new ones must give far better resultsPro's-smallLight and can be used with the barrel and stock/butt extentionsvery good fire rate.has a laynard/bandolier attachment on handle, so with a barrel attachment you could very easilly shoulder sling it, or just sling it from the stock/butt extensiondecent accuracy.very powerfull for a electric gunCons-None save for having to watch battery power and replace them every so often, but then thats what high power or rechargable batteries are for

I am adult obsessed with Nerf. I have or have had tried most of the blasters in the original N-Strike line. The new Elite line didn't really call to me but I just had to have this one.It is basically the same concept as the N-Strike Barricade or Elite Stockade. It is a semi-automatic blaster. However, instead the rotating dart chamber, it is clip-fed. It works with Elite and N-Strike clips, drums and darts! I've tried the blaster with both regular N-Strike and the new Elite darts. There is a significant difference in performance because the Elite darts travel much farther. However, if you do have a bunch of the old streamline darts around, it performs well enough for indoor play.The mechanisms of the blaster are similar to the Vortex Nitron, you have three triggers. One is to activate the flywheel and one to push the dart into the flywheel. Because the flywheel has to be engaged to fire, it isn't the quietest blaster. I thought the placement of the third trigger that releases the clip was awkward but it works out quite well. You just have to move on of your fingers off the other triggers and apply some pressure forward.Unlike the Stampede which only makes motorized noise when fired, the flywheel must be engaged before firing. I think it's a great lightweight alternative to the Stampede though. You can customize it with barrels and shoulder stocks from other blaster (unfortunately it doesn't come with any of its own). It looks great with the Raider stock and the barrel from the Longstrike since they all have the same color scheme. (Of course attaching a barrel decreased distance for me)While it doesn't have the intimidation factor of the Stampede or the Hailfire, it does pack a punch and the semi-auto firing is a neat feature for a little guy. It can make a large handgun or if you dress it up, it's a unique-looking rifle.Highly recommended for Nerf junkies of all ages!

This is a cute little blaster in a new orange color that resembles the Elite Demolisher's (release color). I have a ProChrono Digital chronograph with which I measured the velocity of the darts in FPS (feet per second) that this "flywheeler" spit out. At the peak of it's rev it produced a consistent average of 65 FPS out of the 6 darts in the magazine. This seems like a stable and compact blaster to carry around, and has places to attach a barrel, shoulder stock, and two tactical rails (1 under-barrel and 1 rear top mount for a scope or sight). For the mod community, this is an affordable blaster to mod, just buy two 3.7V IMR off of eBay and a two dummy place-keeper batteries to increase the FPS and DPS (darts per second). You will also need to get a good battery charger too. A Nitecore D4 charger works great for me. Just be sure to take out the irritating locks (mechanical and electrical locks need to be dealt with, especially re-wiring it to bypass the Thermistor if you plan on doing voltage mods. The thermal resistor is the yellow piece of electronic circuitry on a tiny circuit board near the battery tray that looks like a yellow M&M). I clocked this set-up with an average dart velocity of 91 FPS. For the gift-hunters looking for a fun gun at a low price: it can fit most other Nerf gun parts. Oh, and yes it shoots any color of standard Elite dart (blue, green, white, orange, purple/grey, Accustrike, and decorated Rebelle darts). For those gifting this, "No, it doesn't come with the required 4 AA batteries." In conclusion: best bang for your buck; Customization is what the Stryfe does better than most, so don't worry about how it looks. MAKE it look the way you want it to look.
