    The NERF Zombie Strike Sledgefire holds a special place in my heart as one of the defining blasters of a new generation of foam flinging. Launching alongside the Hammershot, the Sledgefire was NERF's take on the shell-fed and ejection Shotgun. Firing 3 darts at once with an awesome break action feature, the Sledgefire was an instant hit with me. It's also one of the most accessible blasters to mod, and one of the first I ever saw 3D Printed products for. Hail to the king, baby!

    You can also easily remove the shell holster-stock for a more sawed-off appearance, and you can tweak the spring so that it kicks the shell out completely for faster reloads (but it makes losing the shells easier if you're not careful). It's been my go-to shotgun since it came out - I've thrifted ones just for the shells, haha.

      Yep, I have a pair of them I have gently modded, painted and de-stocked for a LARP. Are the the most 'effective' thing? Nope, but WOW are they just satisfying to shoot. Toss in a few after market shells to carry a megadart, or rival balls, and its just a fun thing.

  • @ktinga1
    @ktinga1 Рік тому +6

    This blaster is one of my proudest mod accomplishments, that I haven't seen anyone else do. I took one shell, ripped out the dart posts, filed then sanded a chamfer into the back of each chamber, turned the plunger a third of a turn, replaced the spring with some ridiculous gate spring from home Depot that just happened to fit, redid the air seal, and took out the auto ejector mechanism, and this thing SLAPS. In my old HvZ days, I used it as a secondary on the Nerf sling (which has 12 dart slots), the barrel break dart holder on the rail for scavenging, carried it on my back with my stupid little semi-couplered and spring replaced Firestrike as a primary, and would absolutely clean house with how light I was running. The only parts of the mod I haven't gotten to do yet are brass barreling the shell, and making a swap in single mega shell. As it stands, you can select how many darts you want to fire (keep three in it, use for close encounters; load one for a second sniper shot, two for fast loading but still some spread, and reload three when you get a chance), and for hordes you can act like a mortar by staying behind the group while you just lob darts into the mob as they advance. And the advent of easy and cheap to get half darts has only made it better. The Sledgefire will always have a special place in my heart, even in a world of flywheelers and off-the-shelf high performance springers.

The next big project blaster I'm collecting parts for is something of a similar nature, while it will use the internals from a pair of Rival Takedowns, the prime action will be break barrel!

    I found my Sledgefire at the last K-mart in my county, and possibly the last one in Florida before it closed. I believe I got it in 2018 or early 2019, I brought it to Endwar 2019

    Can agree, I own one, and though it is second hand, I LOVE IT!
    The barrel feature (unlike ones like buzzbees) is sturdy and doesnt have a visible rope cord that primes it.
    The hammer is smooth and one handable
    The shells are nothing special, and if you have a 3D printer, you can just print out more
    The 3 shots are decent ranged, not too bad for a shotgun
    Fun to fire
    Fun to hold and good grip
    Sturdy stock
    Shame its hard to get though, but if you have one, it is great!

    With a little bit of sewing skillz you could make some side saddles with elastic fabric. The side of the body was smooth enough to slap some sticky Velcro on it and you could make some removable shell cards. Limey Tactical did a bunch back in the day!
