    • @SecondHandBlasters
      @SecondHandBlasters 10 днів тому

      Of course i need to mention the little ones with this line. I kind of see it as more geared towards them with the larger handles on some of the blasters so far and the contours of the blasters themselves. It definitely encourages them to try stronger blasters and the spongy darts are better suited for them to absorb an impact. A lot of people in the hobby are complaining about the dart accuracy but like i’ve said before, this line isn’t for the hobbyists out of the box. Those blasters are coming soon enough.

    I have such mixed emotions with this whole series. I actually like the blasters and am pleased with the performance (considering they are Nerf blasters) but the Dart change is just really rubbing me the wrong way. They are better than Elite for sure, but that was a really low bar. I was pretty excited about these blasters and have no problem with progress and change, so was hoping these darts were the next best thing cause then I'd have no problem with the change. They are an improvement, but not improved enough to justify this new line. I really wish they would have perfected the Elite darts and came out with this N-Series line to fire em at those 80+fps numbers. That would have been the right move in my opinion, but im also ok with Elite 2.0 dying. Just expected more. I will give them credit on the pricing but the investment you have to make in the darts kinda washes those savings away. SMH. Again, im not mad, just disappointed! 🤣 Great review!

    • @SecondHandBlasters
      @SecondHandBlasters 21 день тому

      Thanks my guy! I was underwhelmed with the darts performance, love the concept of the dart because they don’t feel as hard as Elite standards but go faster (in an unmodded blaster); but the execution was just.. so-so. But; i love that they are being innovative (in spite of them recycling the same blaster design o er snd over again). Personally, and this is just me as someone who wants Hasbro to be competitive against Dart Zone again, i would love to see a “black series”. The fan favorites that use standard darts but perform at 90-100 fps. Something that pushes the limits for an 8yo but can still hold up against the teenage geared Rival line. Kind of like a go between from “elite standard” and “pro”.

    • @Apocalypsejunkiesxtreme
      @Apocalypsejunkiesxtreme 20 днів тому

      @@SecondHandBlasters Agreed. I'm still optimistic that we will see some type of "Pro Line" in the future. Hasbro needs something to compete with Dart Zone and appeal to the older nerfer. Rival was great for the older kids and I don't believe Hasbro will leave that market untapped for long, but we'll see. A Rapid Strike X would be awesome! 😎

  • @another3997
    @another3997 21 день тому

    I don't think most NERF users were unhappy with the fps Elite 2 offered (apart from "hobbyists"), although some people will always want more, no matter what you give them (ahem... those pesky hobbyists again). I think the reason Hasbro have increased the dart velocity is simply because other manufacturers were producing blasters with higher fps. That matters if your friends are using other makes and you're using Nerf. It's good up to a point. The down sides to this are that the cycle will keep repeating, until parents eventually stop buying their kids foam blasters because they hurt too much.

    Do you think it would work with better motors and perhaps a drum magazin? This thing looks kinda funny,but with a mod it could be worth an event. :)

    • @SecondHandBlasters
      @SecondHandBlasters 25 днів тому

      Without a doubt the motors would be a worthy upgrade. If you were to do a cage upgrade, new motors and flywheel swap, you could easily hit the 150 FPS range and have a goofy time at an event. One of my favorite moments at an event was running a modified fortnite blue shock against 3d printed blasters. No one expected the blue shock to be full auto.

  • @another3997
    @another3997 26 днів тому

    Good comparison video. The Stormcharge is a good looking blaster, better looking than even the Motoblitz. Keeping them stock, apart from using the 3.7V batteries, which would you choose out of the two? Are the motors similar quality?

    • @SecondHandBlasters
      @SecondHandBlasters 25 днів тому

      Between the Flyte and the Stormcharge? Stormcharge, 💯 and here is why: shell quality feels stronger in your hands. The magazine slides in and out more easily and the interchangeable stock attachment point is a huge bonus. Also, incase of a switch failure, it is easier to open up and fix as opposed to the Flyte. Now if i had to choose between Stormcharge and Motoblitz? Motoblitz wins. The blitzfire is just too much fun.

    Unfortunately any "bolt action" toy is going to be prone to breakage, it's almost unavoidable where kids are involved. If the plastic primer were replaced with a sturdier one, all the stresses and damage would simply be transferred to internal components, which are of course also plastic. As for the design and the skin, how many kids are going to be giving it a proper paint job?

    • @SecondHandBlasters
      @SecondHandBlasters Місяць тому

      Respectfully going to have to disagree with your assessment on the bolt actions. The bolt action setups in the Centurion, the Longshot, the Longstrike, the Fortnite Heavy SR, the Thunderhawk, the Raptorstrike; all of those have metal rods that go through the bolt sled in such a fashion that they withstand abuse and won’t break unless you are actively trying to destroy them (G-Rex and i have tried). The only metal bolt action that has given problems is the Eagle point and and part of that issue is the piece it connects to “hooks” onto the sled and it is easy for the hook to not catch the sled 100% of the time. The issue with the plastic pegs is that they are so flimsy, they can snap from normal usage or if a kid tries to muscle it too hard to clear a jam, it could strip out completely and ruin the peg (both of which I’ve seen a 10 year old do.) Painting, that’s an interesting question but it is, as i said, me just being picky. I’d wager that there are quite a lot of kids into decorating and painting their blasters. I think msee them all the time at the parks where i go for nerf meetups and i’ve been asked if i could do a spray job for some of them. But like i said in the video, for those that like the design, its fine. I just wish they wouldn’t do a skin and stick with various colored plastic pieces like they did with the Zombie Strike series of old.

At my group's last event, I had some problems with mine when I switched to Worker heavyweight darts (green heads) ... I want to blame the darts but it was also a wet and humid day. Anyway...this thing started munching up my nice darts... and when this thing jams, you need to take the whole thing down because there will always be a dart folded in half in there (that you will miss if you clear the jam through the jam door). It didn't work right for the rest of the day.

    I adore the aesthetics of this line, the ideas behind these blasters and even their execution to a degree. I as well was genuinely excited when these announced. But it seems another case of what engineers have told me time and time again, simpler is better, and there's soo much going on here, going in to mod performance is really, really a daunting task, and throw on top of that the patented difficulty in modding smart AR blasters...it's a rare case of too intimidated to even consider it. A shame as this thing is the epitome of what NERF should go for, with a bit more performance of course. I can say kid me would be over the moon seeing this, even if they couldn't heft this beast.
