    You should buy the new revolver that shoots 75 feet and tell me how it it. It is blue and white.

    I'm sad nerf has discontinued the melee weapons. I have a long sword that was torn up by a cat and like a replacement.

    But man if I had the marauder sword back in like 1990, I'd probably would've been the most satisfied kid in the world.
    What? Nooooooooooooo

    I would like the Axe that had a few years ago but I have the hand and a half sword I have my brother's dog scared of because I used to push it away when we would play 40k on the floor. Also it was being used for cheer on when I played with black templars

    That rebelle pistol looks sweet

    Not a massive fan of the bow, but you can't escape bow's nowadays. The crossbow looks alright. I'm a fan

    Yeah Metal, there is a new version of the Maverick/new revolver that you should really be getting instead. A faster action sort of affair.

    So for some reason both Walmart and target had no mavericks, I wanted two mavericks, but ended up settling for a strife and a little trio. I'm not big on the strife right now.

    Also interested in the handling of that battery powered one. The previous small battery one was really lacking in power. The belt fed machine gun is still my favorite battery nerf gun just because I linked all the belts together and walk about with a chain of 150 darts. I'm a sucker for the clip guns.

    My only gripe is that the first round of a full six round clip doesn't fire properly. It impotently flops out onto the floor. Also the motor takes a second to wind up. I don't know. That might be because I'm not using fresh batteries.

    For it being my first nerf gun, I'd say it handles well. It's easy to hold and maneuver with it. It's very light and the hand holds fit me well. I find it a little lacking in power, especially compared to that little tiny triad, which will fire a dart all the way across the house with amazing accuracy.

    I've played with the battery-powered revolver one and it had the same issue with the motor, you pull the trigger and it whirrs up and then fires. It is possible to use a non-battery DC source of a higher voltage (I believe like 1.7V vs 1.5V) with the belt-fed gun to speed up rate of fire so I think it is just the motors Nerf uses don't start up well using the convenient AA battery power.

    that's kind of what I thought. I'll see what can be done about the power source to make the motors wind up better.

    I'd avoid the motorized nerf weapons, unless you go all out and try to find one of these.

    MB, you should get a Rampage or the older Raider version. They're so cool and you can fire a stream of darts at people by holding down the trigger and just pumping the slide. The only bad part about them is having to clean up all the darts afterwards.

    Be sure not to go to like, ridiculously high. 10% voltage changes seemed to give some good improvement, but the nature of the soft darts causes problems as the speed goes up since everything runs off the same current. So the feed mechanism will also increase which is what caused problems with the chaingun, just darts getting smooshed.

    (I cant remember the exact post/article I was following, but it's similar in approach)

    I know I saw a video of someone modifying the battery of the belt fed nerf gun to fire as fast as an MG42. The motor burned out shortly afterward but still...

    Nice. Who or what did you shoot first? It's an important decision, not to be taken lightly.

    The only thing I could ask for is if the chamber release was in a better position. I noticed that on the clip release on the stryfe, too. It's awkwardly positioned on both.

    that's roughly where the maverick's chamber release is

    different size and shape though, slightly more awkward on the strongarm

    LOOK AT THAT SHIT

    YEAH THEY ONLY HOLD ONE DART EACH BUT YOU CAN JUST CARRY TEN LIKE A PIRATE OR SOMETHING

    the other advantage being if you're not feeling particularly chivalrous you can always just whip the empty gun at someone

    Also, I think the sleek look of the Rebelle line is prime for repainting. I like it better than the chunky look of n-strike line.

    I wish these guns had a de-cocking lever, too. Letting the gun just sit there when you're not using it is probably bad for it.

    if a gun has a manual slide you can pull it back and fire and slowly bring it forward to de-cock it

    like a revolver, kinda

    Oh Nerf, please make for me a revolver where the button that opens the barrel is within reach of the trigger finger

    and none of that Maverick business, you know what I mean
