  • As the NERF hobby expands more into competitive games, players will be more and more willing to shell out for pricier equipment. There has to be a limit somewhere though. Today we look at a blaster that's at the top of the spectrum to ask "Is it worth it?"

    It looks nice, even 800$ nice, but I do have a few gripes with the design.
    Its Clamshell makes it look cheaper than it is, the stock looks a bit uncomfortable and the picatinny being off spec is pretty unacceptable.
    Also for looking so much like a firearm, the giant scar attachment should be bright orange, no matter what colour the body is.
    The bolt action priming style definitely speaks more to the backyard/non-competitive nerfer which makes it even harder to justify the price tag.
    Proprietary mags also just suck.

    $800 for this is… more than I’d spend but it seems pretty awesome except for 1 *massive* weakness. Talon’s not being able to feed isn’t acceptable at that price point IMO.
    Also having incorrect tolerance on the pic rail is pretty bad.

    If I'm spending that much I'm going with the newer, extremely accurate, Sabre M20S. I just watched Bradley Phillips overview of it. It was hitting with precision at 50 meters. And, even extreme accuracy at 60 meters. And, was closer to $700.00.

Great review!

    It better reach out super far. I remember 10 years ago even 35 ft atock was an acomplishment and that was a bolt action rifle. There was a modding community simular to teching in airsoft where evefyone is trying to get high muzzle velocity (banned frim every field) or 3000rpm (m4 with dual sector gear go brrrrrrrrrt and onlybalowed semi auto). This looks like a barret m87 and unlike most nerf guns, it has picitini rails.

    I think that's a definition of "we lost the way". At this point it is just an awkward airsoft rather than nerfing. Obviously I'm not one to say people shouldn't buy what they want, damn, go for it if you have money - but I would say anything above Nexus, where it is so readily and easily available is a bit unhealthy. Nerfers in UK can only dream about Nexus Pro and all of the Dart Zone great blasters so this does indeed seem like, pun intended, overkill.
