When I saw this for the first time and saw the loop handle on the slide I thought, "Am I the only one thinking of getting some shoelaces and dual wielding these things?" Great informative video as usual, thnx.
Honestly...Rapidstrike Pro would be Nerf's "ace in the hole" Blaster..... they won't bring that to us until all else fails (imo)....they know they can do it,their just holding out on us😢
New angle for the video? I´m not a fan of the new line. Ok, they look cool, but... But i think, Hasbro did not made a really good job with this line. they are cheaper, that´s a pro but a big minus is the new ammo for me. Again, cool video
ei yoooo!!!!!! dood, i been hearing bout this new ammo type! n u kno im always having issues finding blasters for my nephew, but this one looks promising! im actually ordering one for my 6yo nephew rn! i cant wait to see what the teams circuit is gonna look like w these new darts!
@@SecondHandBlasters ok, jus looked at it. While I do get excited to see this new line of blasters, it's a 2 shot blaster. Not that it's a problem, jus my boi likes to rain foam! Lol but hey, can we discuss that plunger tube size??!
I don't think most NERF users were unhappy with the fps Elite 2 offered (apart from "hobbyists"), although some people will always want more, no matter what you give them (ahem... those pesky hobbyists again). I think the reason Hasbro have increased the dart velocity is simply because other manufacturers were producing blasters with higher fps. That matters if your friends are using other makes and you're using Nerf. It's good up to a point. The down sides to this are that the cycle will keep repeating, until parents eventually stop buying their kids foam blasters because they hurt too much.
I have such mixed emotions with this whole series. I actually like the blasters and am pleased with the performance (considering they are Nerf blasters) but the Dart change is just really rubbing me the wrong way. They are better than Elite for sure, but that was a really low bar. I was pretty excited about these blasters and have no problem with progress and change, so was hoping these darts were the next best thing cause then I'd have no problem with the change. They are an improvement, but not improved enough to justify this new line. I really wish they would have perfected the Elite darts and came out with this N-Series line to fire em at those 80+fps numbers. That would have been the right move in my opinion, but im also ok with Elite 2.0 dying. Just expected more. I will give them credit on the pricing but the investment you have to make in the darts kinda washes those savings away. SMH. Again, im not mad, just disappointed! 🤣 Great review!
Thanks my guy! I was underwhelmed with the darts performance, love the concept of the dart because they don’t feel as hard as Elite standards but go faster (in an unmodded blaster); but the execution was just.. so-so. But; i love that they are being innovative (in spite of them recycling the same blaster design o er snd over again). Personally, and this is just me as someone who wants Hasbro to be competitive against Dart Zone again, i would love to see a “black series”. The fan favorites that use standard darts but perform at 90-100 fps. Something that pushes the limits for an 8yo but can still hold up against the teenage geared Rival line. Kind of like a go between from “elite standard” and “pro”.
@@SecondHandBlasters Agreed. I'm still optimistic that we will see some type of "Pro Line" in the future. Hasbro needs something to compete with Dart Zone and appeal to the older nerfer. Rival was great for the older kids and I don't believe Hasbro will leave that market untapped for long, but we'll see. A Rapid Strike X would be awesome! 😎

If not this one, look up the Ward. Its the nightfinder of the N-series.
Brb, gonna do my homework
