I feel like Nerf took a lot of inspiration from the af spectrum with this, the jam door, carry handle/tac rail, mag release, and the general shell of the blaster resembles it greatly
Protip: Avoid puting the magazine from the Halo MA40 in this gun. I learned that the hard way. Basically the magazine release will bump up against the bump on the mag and just- not work anymore. I had to pry mine apart to get the magazine out.
This is why I like reviews in this style. He says his personal opinion on stuff but it doesn't affect the rating of the blaster. He still reviews it properly and showcases everything about it that you need to know
Just a tacticool heads up for those looking to mod the StormCharge, there are TWO clips in the blaster: The teal plates in the grip. However, they can be easily removed with patience and the right tools. This is not as easy to open up like the Stryfe.
The grip is clipped on, but the rest can be opened without any clips or glue. Flywheel cage is very similar to the Turbine's, and Buffdaddy Nerf has made a printable cage already. Hope it'll be a viable alternative to the Stryfe for those who live where Stryfes are hard to find.
I tell you, as a parent of Nerf boys, they'd prefer to have batteries in their battery powered blasters, but if you have decide between pull-ups, groceries and gasoline and you forget about the blaster batteries, they'll play with dead or no batteries.
Nerf for the last five years: Oh, I guess it's a stryfe reskin... :/ Nerf right now: Oh! A stryfe reskin!! By which I mean, I am (and the community are in general, apparently,) happy to see something filling the semi auto flywheel niche, while also having the compact stryfelike form factor with no strings attached, back in mass production. We keep getting clunky, branded, gimmick blasters that are just the stryfe underneath, while the stryfe itself has been impossible to find firsthand, so I'm happy for a change
Coop has a good point there's a LOT of mod parts for the stryfe. I only wish there were more performance kits available for the rayven I can't find any
Nerf should sell stand alone attachment that match colour schemes, just like the modulus kit pack series they had a lot to offer. Atleast then we can maybe have matching attachments, there wasn't really that much variety with the previous elite 2.0 colour scheme, unlike the modulus or N-Strike Elite.
I actually really like the look and feel of this blaster. Dare i say more then the original Stryfe. Definitely got more customizability and the grip is really nice.
Looks wise it’s beautiful, tho I wish nerf would release 2 versions of designs like this, a springer and a battery operated form, simply because I’m more of a springer guy.
Constructive criticism incoming: The only thing I did not like about the video was in the My Opinion chapter. When you said if you want to mod choose the Stryfe, the only problem is that Stryfes are pretty hard to come by and may not be very accessible to viewers. Great video as always Frank! 🙂
The Wild Series so far have been the only blasters that should be considered Elite 2.0. The rest of the line would have had a much favorable reception if they were Alpha Strike 2.0
Stryfe will always be number 1 when modded. Its the most barebones semi auto. I don’t like when they put in carry handles, hand guards etc, you can’t remove them, whereas the Stryfe you can put a carry handle attachment you like or guards you like and not be restricted to the only one.
I don't wanna see Elite 2.0 fail and die miserably and stuff like this gives me slight hope that they can do better. I'm hoping for Elite 2.0 to actually become a good line for casual people
i found the extra friction in the stormcharge's trigger and rev trigger really painful after a while. idk if it happens to everybody, but after firing 50+ rounds it gets painful and tiring to use.
Hi coop, you remember that horrifying tovol zerky shotgun thing? Well they've actually kind of Improved and I would love if you would give their newer sawn off double barrel a look!
Wow you know it’s a good grip when Frank gives it the ol thumbs up 👍. Only just getting into nerf and living in Australia, I missed my chance on getting the beloved Stryfe so this’ll be a decent substitute when it finally hits our shores 😎 and thanks for your reviews Frank. You cover all grounds with info and give new players like me good info on what to buy and avoid
I'm guessing Nerf realized the money their saving from NOT using screws in their 2.0 line of blasters has caused them to loose far more money from the people who would have bought their blasters so they could open them up an mod them.
Looking at the internals, it shouldn't be too hard to fix the nasty cost-cutting measures. But I'm waiting for a new barrel piece that follows the Stormcharge's outline before I consider getting one (although we never got the previous Wild Edition blasters...)
Haven't seen someone do it yet and I don't own one myself, but the Delta Trooper's barrel might work well. It has the same sort of tiger stripe pattern to it too.
@@lukeiannello6190 if the Stormcharge's barrel was a bit higher up, the Delta Trooper barrel would be the best fit. It looks like the Eaglepoint barrel would continue the foregrip but obviously doesn't have anything to round off that flat section at the top of the Stormcharge.
Dude! Nerf is becoming nerf again. The nerf dark ages is ending!!! I hope they keep making blasters like this!! I miss the good ol' days of the regular elite and moduleus and this feels like both. I really miss all of the brands from 2013-2018. Thanks coop for reviewing this
You should do an updated loadout for how you’d nerf for a big event. I feel like it’s been a long time since you did one of those and it’d be a cool video!
I just realized that the barrel attachment of the eaglepoint is designed to flow into the otherwise awkward forward grip of this blaster when attached to it
So, this is a conundrum I have and I'm going to probably repost it on the latest videos of a couple different Nerf youtubers I trust so I can fish for opinions from their communities, but I've got enough disposable money right now to grab one new blaster for my collection before the end of the month and would like opinions for each one I'm waffling around about. 1: Motoblitz. A bullpup flywheeler with an air-tank powered "master key" shotgun sounds really fun, but is the most expensive of the ones I'm considering. 2: Stormcharge. Would like a Stryfe formfactor Flywheeler in my collection, but the accessories seem lackluster. 3: Trailblazer. The most affordable one I'm considering, a hammer-action 8-round revolver is both fun and frugal.
OMG, IT HAS THE SAME STOCK & BARREL AS BATTLECAMO STRYFE as you can see, i am happy for no reason. Also, small grip? Finally a gun that looks cool, modular I guess, and it has a smaller grip :D
Hearing Frank excitedly say, "There IS a N-Strike Barrel Lug!" brings me so much joy. ( ^‿^)
@paulistopaulinogo away please
@🍑🔥INES FULL N4CKT fr
If you hadn't have commented this, I would've
I mean, he went 11 months without saying there was an N-strike barrel lug. Last one was the eaglepoint.
@@venomgaming7014 11 months?! It's been actually that long..?
4:00 I enjoyed the chronograph scale that you added. It truly shows the differences among the classes.
And it is so cool.
I think Nerf realised that the 2.0 phoenix wasn't really a good successor to the stryfe and then made this as a better 2.0 stryfe successor.
I'm happy about that
I bought phoenix 2.0 and it is so bad
The Phoneix bit the dust!
@@authentic_ametinit won’t rise from its ashes thankfully

Yeah it dose look like Hasbro took lots of inspiration from the spectrum with a few key differences
@@derrickhageman1969 They're both semi, lol
@@RealGracefulGoose but the spectrum has significantly higher performance despite being semi auto
That's good maybe their blasters will actually start improving in quality now
They just forgot to make it good.
Protip: Avoid puting the magazine from the Halo MA40 in this gun. I learned that the hard way. Basically the magazine release will bump up against the bump on the mag and just- not work anymore. I had to pry mine apart to get the magazine out.
Why would you put the MA40 mag on-
@@History_Nurd potentially doesn't have lots and lots of mags
@@History_Nurd why not? Plus fu** around vs find out, only way to learn
@@History_Nurd I'm pretty new to Nerf and I only have 3 mags to work with. It's cool though I was able to return the gun and get a replacement!
i literally did this exact thing and then saw this comment a couple hour later
This is why I like reviews in this style. He says his personal opinion on stuff but it doesn't affect the rating of the blaster. He still reviews it properly and showcases everything about it that you need to know
He gives both an objective and subjective opinion, perfectly balanced
Just a tacticool heads up for those looking to mod the StormCharge, there are TWO clips in the blaster: The teal plates in the grip. However, they can be easily removed with patience and the right tools. This is not as easy to open up like the Stryfe.
Hasbro: “It’s a modular semi-auto blaster!”
Consumers: “Hasbro, this is the 7th strife you’ve shown us.”
The grip is clipped on, but the rest can be opened without any clips or glue. Flywheel cage is very similar to the Turbine's, and Buffdaddy Nerf has made a printable cage already.
Hope it'll be a viable alternative to the Stryfe for those who live where Stryfes are hard to find.
WIth the Stryfe and Dart Zone Spectrum no longer on market and fetching higher and higher prices online, the Stormcharge is a good alternative.
Haven't heard there being an N-Strike barrel lug for so long I was beginning to question whether or not they existed in the first place.
The new way to show the fps is really great! Definitely gives a good view on how powerfull it is and what is is comparible to! Nice job Coop!
Glad to see you're still reviewing Nerf's cooler products.
Hi SirMikay!
The Motoblitz, Hammershot like, and this one are signs that Nerf is taking notes
This is the review I’ve been waiting for! Nice to see you Coop!
The Barrel and stock is also featured on the battlecamo stryfe
I too had a strange mechanical lock function with my Stormcharge. Glad to see it's not alone or a lemon
I tell you, as a parent of Nerf boys, they'd prefer to have batteries in their battery powered blasters, but if you have decide between pull-ups, groceries and gasoline and you forget about the blaster batteries, they'll play with dead or no batteries.
Nerf for the last five years: Oh, I guess it's a stryfe reskin... :/

At last, Elite 2.0 has upgraded the Elite 2.0 Phoenix by making it like Franklin's sick modification to the Stryfe: the one and only POONBOW!!!!
Its nice to finally see him start a nerf 2.0 review with a smile
i picked up this blaster last week and i love it. I've always been more of a spring action over flywheel guy but i can't deny how fun this blaster is.
Coop has a good point there's a LOT of mod parts for the stryfe. I only wish there were more performance kits available for the rayven I can't find any
visiting this channel in almost 6-7 years really brings back memories good to see your still at it coop 🖖
Thanks Coop. Because of this review, I bought this. It’s now one of my favorites
SOMEBODY PLEASE PUT A LONGSTRIKE BARREL ON IT
I LOVE the new scale for the chronograph readings. Great idea and as always an excellent video.

The flywheels on this blaster is near silent, it's quite mind-boggling as someone who grew up with those giant BuzzBee tommygun flywheel blasters
I've been looking forward to this review once I saw the Stormcharge in stores.
Looks wise it’s beautiful, tho I wish nerf would release 2 versions of designs like this, a springer and a battery operated form, simply because I’m more of a springer guy.
This is definitely a solid offering!

I love the new mode of showing the fps stats! Way to go Frank!
One plus towards this blaster is that the spectrum is a little harder to find online so there is less competition
I love love love the graph comparing popular blaster FPS in one view!
Got it today, and it is glorious. It has actually replaced my Stampede in my loadout (yes it is also my first Stryfe reskin)
I definitely like the snap cut for battery installation. It's a bit better and gets past the unnecessary detail.
Phoenix: he does exactly what I do
Stormcharge: but better
Phoenix: "Who are you?"
Stormcharge: "I'm you, but better."
Stryfe: "You can't defeat me."
Spectrum: "Amateurs."
Phoenix, Stormcharge, and Stryfe: "What was that, punk?!"
Spectrum: "AMATEURS!!!"
I don't wanna see Elite 2.0 fail and die miserably and stuff like this gives me slight hope that they can do better. I'm hoping for Elite 2.0 to actually become a good line for casual people

That carry handle pisses me off a Lot Just because its only tall enough to block the cronobarrel's screen
I… don’t hate it.
Hi coop, you remember that horrifying tovol zerky shotgun thing? Well they've actually kind of Improved and I would love if you would give their newer sawn off double barrel a look!
Putting the scope from the fortnite SR on this thing is just beautiful

Looking at my Stryfe, don't worry buddy, you'll always be number one
It's basically a strife with a better shell, not much different
Keep it up dude! Your videos are great, your great at what you do!
did they fix elite 2.0?!??!?
Coop: "The Stryfe is the Honda Civic of Nerf Blasters"
Car Guys: "It sounds like a Lawnmower?" o.O
I'm guessing Nerf realized the money their saving from NOT using screws in their 2.0 line of blasters has caused them to loose far more money from the people who would have bought their blasters so they could open them up an mod them.
0:37 I've been waiting to hear that quote for like 6 months!
Halleluah! Holy Stryfe came in blue.
This thing is so comfortable! You guys NEED it! A great blaster.
It was the first time when I was the first.
@@RammFan00you still are man!
I wouldn’t care if it’s a reskin, as long as it looks really cool and works. this check marks the box.
Have you ever made a poll for your channel asking the viewers what type of foam-flinger they are? That could help emphasize some review points.
dang bro man's got the n strike elite beard
A side grade to the Stryfe? This is the first blaster I've wanted from Nerf in a long time
Looking at the internals, it shouldn't be too hard to fix the nasty cost-cutting measures. But I'm waiting for a new barrel piece that follows the Stormcharge's outline before I consider getting one (although we never got the previous Wild Edition blasters...)

i was skipping through the video and accidentally got coop to say "i prefer shorter fingers personally" 😳
Hey I have a question. Can you put a kriss vector kit?
so long as this thing has no under barrel rail it will never be as glorious as the stryfe. the side rail is very tempting though
Dude! Nerf is becoming nerf again. The nerf dark ages is ending!!! I hope they keep making blasters like this!! I miss the good ol' days of the regular elite and moduleus and this feels like both. I really miss all of the brands from 2013-2018. Thanks coop for reviewing this
0:37 A Very Happy Coop
I love the new format of the review
i bought one my birthday thanks to you
Rip
Honestly this feels made to be dual wielded. They're fairly stubby, easy to reload, and they look like boltguns from Warhammer 40,000
ty for making my childhood
You should do an updated loadout for how you’d nerf for a big event. I feel like it’s been a long time since you did one of those and it’d be a cool video!
comes with the famous fishtail darts
Woah, a new Nerf Blaster!
Do you remember when you did the jolt conspiracies conspiracy you should check if the rival has a jolt tired of it
This blaster is what the Elite 2.0 Phoenix wanted to be
Or should’ve came out instead of the phoenix
Coop. Awesome review. Looks like an awesome blaster
elite 2.0 is getting better not by much but better
Finally nice to see Hasbro make a blaster competing with the Stryfe worth purchasing.
The Moto-Blitz is pretty good.
True, but the Stormcharge is a closer comparison to the Stryfe. The Moto-Blitz feels more like the Rayven, which isn't a bad thing.
Coop: Finally a blaster that haves the n-strike barrel lug ^_^
so happy there IS an n strike barrel lug
I just realized that the barrel attachment of the eaglepoint is designed to flow into the otherwise awkward forward grip of this blaster when attached to it
It literally looks like one of coop's old rapidstrike uzis that he used to make
The retaliator stock is my favorite because of how it's shaped
Frank: I don’t know what you’re into.
Me: hehe You don’t wanna know what I’m into. >.>
"looks like a chopped off rapidstrike" exactly what i was thinking.
So, this is a conundrum I have and I'm going to probably repost it on the latest videos of a couple different Nerf youtubers I trust so I can fish for opinions from their communities, but I've got enough disposable money right now to grab one new blaster for my collection before the end of the month and would like opinions for each one I'm waffling around about.

The stormcharge reminds me of the rapid pistol or rapid Uzi without the stock and the barrel
I havent heard you say "there is a N-Strike barrel lug" in so long
THIS ISNT FLUED TOGETHER LESGOOOO I SAW THE SCREWS
I love how COOP can install his Batteries by just SNAPPING his fingers ( wish I could do that ) lol 🌞🔫🤠
Local Florida man rants about minor gripes with the Stryfe 2.0. It had to happen sooner or later, and I'm glad it did :3
The jolt shirt goes hard
I'd suggest turning it into a flat-top right away. Also the bulky square front means any attachment should look good on it. Yes a longer stock.
So basically a good Phoenix.
Finally, after so long……… HES SAYING “FULL AMBI BRO” !!!!!!
It seems like the teal blasters in the 2.0 line are the best
OMG, IT HAS THE SAME STOCK & BARREL AS BATTLECAMO STRYFE
as you can see, i am happy for no reason. Also, small grip? Finally a gun that looks cool, modular I guess, and it has a smaller grip :D
Lol! I used the same Honda Civic/Stryfe analogy in a facebook group! It is low-hanging fruit.
yay another coop video!
