Being a newbie, I was unaware the hatred for the elite 2.0, so was scooping 2.0 blasters in sales, then this week I picked up the sprinter, and I'm loving it, definitely hitting harder and more accurate with the new darts everybody seems to hate, being in Australia I'm limited to what's on shelves, so the new N series it definitely an upgrade.
I'm also and Aussie and yeah I agree. We aren't getting nerf pro so the nseries stuff is all weve really got and are definitely the best off the shelf stuff we can get without having to pay too much to import something
Thanks for the video, I just ordered my Sprinter from Walmart it will arrive on Thursday. This is the one N Series blaster that I have been interested in and it has taken Harbro SO, SO, SO long to release it. I wish you had done a size comparison between the Rayven, the Sprinter, and the Sender. I'm looking forward to your mod videos for the Sender. Keep up the great work.
You’re welcome. Same! I do hold up the Rayven next to the Sprinter but I don’t have a Sender yet! Hasbro was going to send samples but then decided not too 🤷♂️
Your videos are informative, well balanced and span multiple viewpoints. Unlike some, you mention that the reality of manufacturing products for global markets means making design concessions and compromises. Many of the 'nerf' channels are USA based, and for example, they don't realise Dartzone products aren't even marketed in most countries for those same reasons. A few small independent shops doing mail order, and no big retail chains where you can buy them off the shelf. Yet they chant "Dartzone can do it, why can't Nerf?" Well, most nerf customers don't live in the USA. End of rant. 😂 👍
Thanks a bunch! Really appreciate that. I swear it's not just me sucking up to Nerf. I am a fanboy for sure, but I also understand giant companies have a lot of constraints. I work for one and deal with that everyday.
I really like it! Both the Sprinter and Infinite are very cool blasters design wise, though the new dart type will make them a little impractical to run at my local Nerf events until the N1 dart becomes a little more widely adopted. On a side note, I just keep giggling over how kinda NSFW the flywheel cage and barrel look on the Sprinter. That was a very... ahem, turgid design choice XD
I love your enthusiasm. I do think that N1 kind of has gotten a bad wrap. Personally I've been leaning more towards half darts but still using full lengths for birthday parties. Take care.
I still use full for parties too, and since I supply all the blasters I enjoyed my N1 loadout! Teens are still looking for rival but I tell them the speed is almost the same and they are cool with that. So many less blasters to lug. Again, very specific scenario.
I can't believe a blaster targeted at kids 8+ is shooting about the same as my Thunderbolt. It's both scary and relieving that the kids can keep up thanks to the new standard changes throughout the years. I may consider picking this up as a loaner blaster for my 2nd grader nephew for our indoor stock wars wars so he can keep up.
Love the bulpup maritime foam….I have a ravenfire (kohls) and a rayven stinger modded with better high rpm motors (thrifted and had bad motors) hits almost 100fps with just alkaline!!👍🏻
Still an N-series fan so far. They're fun blasters and so far accuracy has been good enough in all the prior releases. Is the Sprinter magazine cross-compatible with the Pinpoint and vice-versa? It looks like it would be, but some verification would be very welcome!
Thanks for the video, you’ve saved me some money. I’ll go find a Rayven instead. Too many batteries, not much in the way of customisation, we need more rails, stock attachments and barrel lugs Hasbro! Honestly there’s probably more money to be made by Hasbro if they focused on making new old stock or by having a service where we can send off old blasters to be refurbished. The trigger release on this blaster is nice, the design of it is nice too but lack of tactics is a deal breaker. You could probably swap out the barrel for a Stryfe one but chances are it won’t be wide enough for these new darts.
I feel like the raven looks so much cooler. Maybe just the color scheme? Idk? I grew up on those early mid 2000’s yellow orange and black nerf guns. I feel like they should bring that color scheme back?
Performance doesn’t seem as good as the spectrum or thunderbolt with 6AA, but hard to tell. I really like the look of the blaster, hoping it’s easy to mod to fire normal full sized darts.
I think one thing to consider is the different size, material of the N1 darts. I wonder how well they would zip out a waffle head with the same motors with a little conversion :)
Great colours and design. Should have made it full auto or select fire. A lot of people will like the shell enough to covert it to shoot short darts. Personally not worth it to me. Not a fan of N- series darts. The Spectrum came out over 6 years ago, it’s able for hit 90+ FPS, comes with better darts and is still available for half the price.
Full auto would have been fun, but I think there is a real drive to keep price points down. Plus you always need a semi-auto in the line. I am definitely a fan of the spectrum, but I have a ton of blasters that hit 100 FPS, doesn't stop me from being interested in more blasters lol :)
Idk it seems to me ALOT of tge influencers that have been to Hasbro or are "friendly" with hasbro are kissing Nerfs butt now...idk maybe im crazy...i love your vids you know i do so NO hate here.
Maybe it's because, as both he and Lord Drac have mentioned in their videos, Hasbro have actually been explaining to these people why certain design choices were made. People complain about things they think should be done and weren't, without actually knowing any of the practical and legal complexities involved in creating product suitable for GLOBAL markets. Just because some markets allows certain things, doesn't mean they all do. That's not "kissing butt", it's real world, factual information. Apparently people just don't like the reality, so they choose to ignore it and make stuff up. 😂
I can only speak for me! I won't lie, I was pumped to visit Hasbro. That was a super big thrill for me, and sure, it definitely put me in a positive mindset when I was talking about what was coming. I LOVE this stuff, and I was getting to play with new toys before they were out, with Luke from OutofDarts.com and BlasterHub, and RyFi and FFA and Drac! Lol, that was awesome. On the other side of things, I think even before the Hasbro visit, I am probably still a bigger fan of regular kid-focused Nerf blasters more than some other RUclipsrs, probably just because of playing much more party/community level games. But, I was also really pleased to see an increase in FPS, I loved hearing some of the reasons behind choices (as @another3997 mentioned as well), that was a real eye opener.

Well look at Mr. Lah dee dah who pulls out a Stinger as a Rayven example and proceeds to treat it like some everyday thriftstore cheapo rayven w no acknowledging its the rarest skin and still sells for a good price. Lol jk nice review as always thank you for still throwing out good content.

@@daveyognaut6132 Check blastertech, they sell al loot of the good stuff
I like the Sprinter a lot so far! Good to hear an Australian opinion!
Australian here too only good 2.0s were double punch and turbine. N series and x shot insanity are the way to go.
It shouldn't be too long until someone designs new flywheel cages and a half-dart mags adapter.
i think all the flywheels need is just some electrical tape, they already have enough grip on elite darts
Already did the adapter lol
I gotta check that out!
@@AMSPawn06 whoa, that was fast
@@AMSPawn06 link ?
this blaster and the moto blitz have got to be my favorite blasters recently, i love that they're bullpups and have that crispy paddle release

Great video. Thanks for the fun fact filled review. Keep up the great work.
Thanks!
It's interesting they chose a bullpup for their very first flywheeler of the series, especially the series that's specifically meant to replace Elite
well the rayven wad the first nerf mag fed flywheeler, and it was a bullpup soo... something like that?

Thanks! I appreciate it! And I think it’s pretty fun :)
The new orange color nerf has used on the Pro Line and the NSeries line shows up very weird on camera
I want this blaster so bad, can’t find it anywhere near me and it’s been out of stock for a bit now. Personally love this new N series
Got one today, I absolutely adore it.
I like this one a lot too!
I really like it! Both the Sprinter and Infinite are very cool blasters design wise, though the new dart type will make them a little impractical to run at my local Nerf events until the N1 dart becomes a little more widely adopted.

remember the titan cs50?
Lol, yes, I see what you mean, but it does happen with flywheels and barrels lol. I have a few hundred N1 darts now, didn't take long to add em up lol
Ahh finally another bull pup
I love your enthusiasm. I do think that N1 kind of has gotten a bad wrap. Personally I've been leaning more towards half darts but still using full lengths for birthday parties. Take care.

I plan to get a few more of these, I think I have finally come around to the benefits of blaster duplication for getting kids up and running lol
N Series might not be so bad considering the way Nerf Pro is turning out
I feel like Nerf Pro is too early for definitive judgement. Also, a few reviews have working products so that tracks
Both series seem rushed. There’s potential that they’ll make a good pro blaster one day.
I can't believe a blaster targeted at kids 8+ is shooting about the same as my Thunderbolt. It's both scary and relieving that the kids can keep up thanks to the new standard changes throughout the years.

My 3 year old got one for Christmas 😂
That's why I like new blasters too!
Glad to hear it!
Today I got new in a box nerf Rebelle Spylight!
Still looking for one of those! Nice!!!!
Love the bulpup maritime foam….I have a ravenfire (kohls) and a rayven stinger modded with better high rpm motors (thrifted and had bad motors) hits almost 100fps with just alkaline!!👍🏻
Love mods like this, taking the old classics and giving them that solid 100 FPS ability! Which is great for all kinds of games and HvZ!
@@maritimefoam was trying to think how to convert my rhino fire to fire short darts🤔 wouldn’t that be awesome😝
Does the pin point mag fit in the sprinter?
Yep. Standardised mag design.
Yup, all standard between them :)
Tempted to get one and slap a Fisher Price STEP 2 sticker on it and fully lean into the ironic aesthetic 🤩
I like this idea!
How many batteries does it take does it have a xt30 connector behind the battery cage......
6 batteries, I mistakenly say 8 at one point but correct myself. I haven't opened it but there is no XT30... until I add one here soon ha.
Still an N-series fan so far. They're fun blasters and so far accuracy has been good enough in all the prior releases.
Is the Sprinter magazine cross-compatible with the Pinpoint and vice-versa? It looks like it would be, but some verification would be very welcome!
Oh yes, they are the same sized mags :)
@@maritimefoam Many thanks! Definite buy for me, then.
Thanks for the video, you’ve saved me some money. I’ll go find a Rayven instead.

Certainly fair if you're planning to mod! Though I just printed a kit to make it short dart compatible. :)
A waffle tip dart for these would be Perfect....I think !?!😮
probably wouldnt be better than .50 cal foam
I do wonder how long before the N2 dart ha
@@maritimefoam dont think Nerf really cares about accuracy....lol😂😂😂
I feel like the raven looks so much cooler. Maybe just the color scheme? Idk? I grew up on those early mid 2000’s yellow orange and black nerf guns. I feel like they should bring that color scheme back?
Smh, was hoping the name Sprinter ='d full auto but hasbeen never fails to let me down.
Performance doesn’t seem as good as the spectrum or thunderbolt with 6AA, but hard to tell. I really like the look of the blaster, hoping it’s easy to mod to fire normal full sized darts.

I love the look of the sprinter its so beautiful. great price but shame its N1. might get it and convert to elite or half.
I plan to try a half-dart one for sure.
Why didn't they make these with re-chargeable lipo batteries... Like used in airsoft guns.... ??
To keep em cheap and make that on the shelf price seem low.
Is it full auto fire?
No
