I'm torn on this, it's a cool looking blaster but only six rounds is a bit painful. It would be nice to at least recycle the eight round cylinders from the Trailblazer. I wonder if its possible to mod that in 🤔. Great present blaster though, and I like the minimal packaging.
I saw this the other day at Dollar General. Did you ever take it apart? I wonder if you could mode this to shoot half darts at a little higher FPS. The baster has some decent ergo. With dart storage added up top and a paint job this could be a really cool blaster.
I did; it’s really an okay blaster for the price. The internals are not quite strong enough for my usual performance mods but it is modable and you can remove the pegs for half darts.
Elite 2.0 makes me feel like Hasbro spent so much making so many awesome and complicated blasters, that now they're too broke to give us that same quality. Maybe they have released a few good ones recently, but these budget blasters are becoming too common from them.
I couldn’t agree more, except for the “broke” part. The “bargain” blaster lineup for Elite 2.0 is, in my opinion, glorified Alpha Strike in Elite 2.0 coloring. Contender, Operator, Technician and Trio all feel like reskinned Alpha Strike blasters. Though, i will say, i enjoy messing around with the Contender. Why Hasbro won’t go broke? Because they can launch another Fortnite blaster and parents will buy it for their kids who don’t realize they are buying the same blaster they just bought a month prior but with a different skin.
@@popeymadethisooh! Nice combo. I’m hoping they release something similar in the 2.0 scheme. I’m all about the aesthetics. The folding stock for the Spectre 2.0 (or would that be 4.0 by now?) is my go-to for casual play.
The commander is a better value for what you get, but the contender feels more comfortable for those who prefer a pump grip as opposed to top prime. I’d liken this to a smaller Shockwave.
ROFLMAO.. that noise was G-Rex starting his laundry while i was filming. Usually it isn’t picked up by the mic, but he left the laundry room door open and it was louder than normal.
Good stuff bro!
i miss coop 772
Yeah, Frank was one of the best.

That is an interesting idea. Like i say, where there is a will, there is a way. I’m sure that someone will design a 3D printed part for it.

Buy him a Unicorn! Perfect for my 5 yr old!
I’ll have to check it out. I’ve seen one in action at one of the local clubs and it seems like a fun one.
I like the Phoenix as well. It performs well and it looks really cool. Needs a stock though because of that front heavy nature
Absolutely. The Phoenix EXS-10 has the stock. Or, if you have an Echo, you can swap it out. The only “unique” attachment on the Phoenix is the scope.
@@SecondHandBlasters I was using the echo stock for a while but I swapped it for an N strike elite extendable stock

Not a terrible first blaster. Might as well buy a commander.

There’s no slam fire 😂
It’s a wasted opportunity for sure.
Who is rubbing that balloon in the background?
