As a LARPer, this is one of the best side-arms. It's easy to fire around corners or behind cover, and getting hit in the arm means you can still use it one-handed. Front-loading is also handy.
Wouldn't call the trigger pull on the Hammershot "standard", personally. It's one of, if not THE easiest trigger pull Hasbro ever engineered. A proper hair trigger.
Things worth noting: The trigger pull is buttery smooth, but that’s also a bad thing for this specifically. If you pull the trigger while priming, it won’t catch, so you can freely rotate the cylinder with 1 hand, but because the trigger is so easy to pull, you can sometimes skip darts if your finger is over the trigger whilst priming
When one of the absolute best blasters hasbro releases all year is a repaint of a mechanically identical blaster. I agree "if it aint broke, dont fix it". Though when they did this with the Stryfe for Modulus, the internals were slightly improved. And the Mediator was a very functional alteration of the Alpha Trooper. We know Hasbro is capable of making good new blasters. Whoever is currently in management and is demanding all these cheapo cost cutting measures is preventing that
@@332ndstudios7 hey, listen man it just something that I like I'm not going to keep it forever, also like look on google Unus Annus, what are you going to do yell at every person who has posted a picture of then. If this was just a joke I'm sorry I'm really bad at understanding what people's mood are through text. Thank you have a good day
im both. im dissapointed in hasbro because they really are better than this, but im mad at them too because they glued the blasters shut, so modders cant go in and fix it as easily
Can you review the grape splatter repaint next? You're 100% right about how it's okay for Hasbro to re-release their good stuff with new paint or whatever. When they first announced alphastrike I was hoping they'd slowly become budget reskins of their staples (which have already covered their development costs) and Elite 2.0 would be new innovations and attempts to improve designs, like an improved elite dart or a new full-auto with rapidstrike ergonomics, hyperfire flywheels and Infinus autoloader. Sadly that is very much not what's happened though...
As Nerf pistol lover, Hammershot is one of my favorites (next to the SideStrike, which I hope to see re-released). I like both of these repaints, but I the red is my favorite of the two.
Honestly, all four of the hammershot skins look great. My personal favorite is the purple green one that wasn’t shown (or I don’t think it was) in this video. If only other blasters had cool reskins as well.
Well, admit it: you wanted to do this because you wanted an updated review of the Hammershot that matched your current format. Personally the Hammershot is my go to blaster. I organize Nerf events that rely on mainly pistols and I like the fact that these can be holstered (I can make a cheap holster based on coloured duck tape and an Ocean Spray juice bottle). My main thing for any “improving” is reshelling the grip to an Elite 1.0 standard, but otherwise I like this just fine.
Oh no... Just tell me where to crash the party and kill a cyborg by jumping down and saying hello there with a blaster *based on a true story a long long time ago in a galaxy far away...*
2 Things worth mentioning: 1. There's 3 different repaints. 2. Hasbro painted both sides (mostly). I grabbed one of the Caution tape styled ones off Amazon shortly before they ended up on sale in November... bummer. The stripes are on both sides though they do cut a bit out because they apparently don't want black paint on the engraved warnings. They also didn't color in the Nerf logo on the opposite side and no Zombiestrike logo on the other side of the handle. I like how on the Amazon page they only show the right side so people don't notice they kinda painted, but kinda skimped on the paint.
If you buy a hammershot for practical war use I totally recommend the Orange Mod Works O-Tac hammershot kit. +1 shot and about +20 fps. Also, buy a pack of Ekind wafflehead darts for superior accuracy at a better price point.
Fun fact about the hammer shot: when you hold down the trigger and you keep on priming the blaster you are rotating the barrel without shooting the blaster
Thank you for making a zombie series but my zombie strike slingfire is broken but I can not figure out what is wrong with it but the darts just keep getting jammed for no reason they are fresh new darts idk what’s wrong with it
I got the hazard version since its design only made it easier to make it look even more apocalyptic. I still need to throw in a new spring and cylinder, then scrap a Mavrick for it's barrel plastics. And the adventure force nexus pro muzzle piece can fit on a Mavrick well some of them.
I think the thing people wanted to know most in this review is if the "ugly side" of the blaster is painted, because hasbro's been skimping on that a lot lately.
There is a green and purple one too. Also I heard there were some issues with the boxes smelling awful and the yellow striped blaster being the wrong color (check google there are some differences).
I have a few questions that you didn't cover. It looks like a very slightly different blaster but I can't think of what it's called and I am trying to decide between one of these and a hammer shot which one performs better?
I bought all three. All three are rough. Just over 50fps. Trigger rubs on one. Hammer drags on the other. Air restrictor sticks open on the the third. I’m surprised I got 3 lemons. Opened them up. Much cheaper internals. Tolerances are poor. Pins are weaker. I was disappointed. They’re getting returned.
Nerf: paints both sides
Everyone: impossible
Literally me
If you show the left side of a Nerf gun, Nerf will take down your video because they don’t want anyone to know how ugly it is...
I am like 100 on this comment
Laughs in Regulator

Last time I was this early, Nerf still made better blasters than the competition.
Damn that was a long time ago

Wow

Who would have thought dart zone was gonna smash them so good with their pro blasters

Hasbro:don't mind if I do
You can duel Strongarms you just need to attach a sling to both and drape it over your back and pull and fire. This also works with Mavericks.

Hey coop I feel you about Elite2.0 why did hasbro make it. just make it part of the modulus series
The red one reminds me of Texas red from big iron, the notches on this pistol are more than 20 but it’s still cool.

dont blame me but i think the "yellow one" shot a little better and made a weird popping sound
Does the other side of the shell have the paint job or is it just one side?
Caution hammer shot gives me OG yellow maverick vibes
You speak truth my friend.
Can you do Nerf Rival Perses with Hopper vs Nerf Rival Prometheus?

How come the yellow one makes a different sound than the red one does?

Hey Frank, subjectively, which one do you think looks better?
Coop is getting back to normal weight it must feel good and I’m happy for him

nothing was pulled from fortnite, it's a coincidence, shut.

The sidestrike from the zombiestrike series it has a extremely comfortable grip and powerfull and comes with a holdster
Honestly, we should get more re-skins of the Hammershot than the Jolt
Hey Coop, does the Ultra Two fit in the Strongarm holster? 🤔
