We got this on Special Deal at £16 which was an absolute bargain. It could be worth double or triple thatand it would still be quite a fair price.
I have had some battery operated Nerf guns before which I found highly frustrating due to the amount of stoppages that occurred during use.
This on the other hand has about 90% less stoppages during use. So Nerf must have changed the internal design slightly to achieve this better result. I found that of the stoppages that did occur were more of a result of rapid firing or not allowing the motor to power up enough before the first use.
I even found this to operate well using unofficial bullets.
Battery power is good. I have used rechargeable batteries with this.
The bullets come out at a quite powerful speed but not a touch on regular Nerf power. It is advertised at being capable of being able to fire 27 metres. Under my tests the only way I achieved this was to fire into the air rather than horizontal. Firing horizontally achieved about ten metres of straight trajectory. Wind obviously can have a negative or positive impact.
It is relatively easy to operate. It is ideal for the younger child. A four year old can pick up the concept of the mechanics of this blaster. And its versatile design allows the shape of it to change, making a smaller blaster or a large one, so it can grow with your child or offer lots of different imaginative games. All the parts slot in to each other and are secured really simply.
