This blaster is going to become the "Tippmann 98" (ubiquitous, failure-proof Paintball marker that every field that does rentals has on hand) of Nerf rentals if semi-pro Nerf arenas ever become a thing.
Ahhhh, the old trusty 98. High pressure, mechanical and blind dinosaur that many of us stupidly dumped money into before buying a real marker. I was partial to the A5 myself and if I still played I'd probably still have one as backup.
Absolutely, no doubt about it. That and a whole bunch of Nexi.
@@lipoz-n-nitroz4012gotta throw the big chungus flatline barrel on for full effect lol
Most unexpected nerf blaster release of all time and i love it
more unexpected then the prometheus?
DZP Mark 1 felt more surprising to me, especially as a Kickstarter style release.
And yet people are like "aw it's just a stryfe. come out with a new blaster." Meanwhile I'm like "THE STRYFE IS BACK WOOOOO!!!!"
@@jschlattfunnymic3069 honestly yeah, the last thing I expected was a nerf pro line, let alone a stryfe revamp. The Prometheus wasn't too big of a shock after the success of the nemesis
@@Kuli24000 yup, and I'm stuck here thinking, "hmmm, do I need it, no... But do I really really want it... Yeah."
I really appreciate the not overly negative tone of this compared to Walcom, you seem to much more reasonable and level headed about understanding the perspective of hasbro as a company, while still acknowledging that it could’ve been better. This seems like a perfect start to someone who wants to just try superstock levels but doesn’t want to invest and worry about things like lipos, this is the perfect entry to the hobby, but for those in the hobby we just have better/equal options
That is an excellent summary, yes. :)
Even though I believe the omnia does a much better job and for cheaper than the stryfe X, at least hasbro did a great job with this blaster even if the value isn't there.
@@lingfong can you link to your video where you compare them side by side, because I'd like to see that.
@@CaptainXavier There's yet to be a video comparing both blasters and I am not able to acquire both at the moment however, drac has already made a review on the omnia which was relatively positive. There are obviously pros and cons to both blasters but by comparing them from what they advertise, the omnia has select fire, comes with 2 magazines, and costs 30 bucks less. The Stryfe X has a mechanical pusher as opposed to the electronic pusher that's in the omnia, lipo included with the stryfe X instead of a lithium-ion battery like the omnia, and it's made by hasbro so it's cool to see them embracing our hobby. I don't think the stryfe X is bad, I just personally don't see the value given what both blasters advertise. My apologies if you find my comments ignorant and annoying but I'm only sharing my own opinion. Still I thank you cap for your criticism towards my comment as I agree, I can't share any evidence, only speculation. Love your content Xavier!
agreed, I presented the initial OOD video to the club I play with and was disappointed to see how much joy they took in shitting all over this release. only a few of them seemed to understand that the fastest way for our hobby to grow, is to have hasbro/nerf onboard and involved
I think it cannot be overstated how important the compatibility with Talon mags is. Also the architecture surrounding the LiPo battery and the self-contained system is a huge win. Not really concerned that it's not backwards compatible with third-party cosmetic kits because frankly that's why you have your previously modded Stryfes that you can use them with if you want to go that route. I would happily use this on a field and would have next to no complaints regarding that
this is the best take. it doesn’t matter if it’s not backwards compatible because if you care about backwards compatibility you probably already like 5 modded stryfes with lipos already
I'd love to see the rapid strike and the Regulator brought into the Pro line. Also, for springers, the longshot and the alpha trooper. Possibly a long strike for those dedicated snipers out there with a functioning compression barrel with rifling.
Can the stryfe x fit a scar barrel?
Or a stampede X?
Hasbro has said in interviews that they have no plans to make any Pro springers (they wouldn't be a good idea with Hasbro's half-dart Accustrike ammo).
@@LM-1378 what Hasbro says and what Hasbro does often contradict each other. Hasbro swore they'd never go pro or convert to half darts, yet here we are. So we never know.
@@Huntress236 well, considering the fact that Accustrike half-darts can't easily fit down the friction fit metal barrels of most competitive-grade springers... Hasbro would either have to come out with yet another new dart design... or use a totally different system for their pro springers... or both.
Don't get me wrong, I'd absolutely love to see an "Alpha Trooper X" and would buy one in a heartbeat if it was affordable, but I'm not sure how they'd pull it off.
@@LM-1378 the same way modders did before friction fit barrels. A stupid powerful spring. Xavier's hvz alpha trooper is built that way I think. And maybe that'd be their first entry into the competitive hvz game at 120fps.
We can dream.
The more I see it, the more I love it. My favorite thing about it is that the Stryfe is so compact. Those mags and darts will be affordable and I’m sure the blaster will get an eventual price drop. I’m just hoping that they expand this line to fulfill our dreams. Blasters and accessories, let’s see ‘em. I’m excited for Nerf Pro’s potential! Great in-depth review Cap’m!
As to why they opted not to include much compatibility with body kits, my guess is a major reason is so many of the designs mimic real steel. Could argue, what's the difference with this release and the regular Stryfe? But I'd say it's to do with this one being in that upper performance bracket and they'd rather this attention getting step they're taking not come out and people immediately put their AK, H&K and Vector kits on.
Interested to see if they release more sporting accessories for these new rails too.
Wonder who will be first to replace that plate with one that reads, "Front Towards Enemy". Definitely a lot of cosmetic options there.
I love what they've done with the battery pack. It's like a power tool now. Quickly swap in a fresh battery and I can leave the dead one charging without having to babysit it.
Said not selling batteries
Captian
Wow fantastic video as always. Thanks for the honest opinion. This is pretty cool for those of us who work all the time and have 2 kids with no time to build our own. Keep up the great work.
Love your review. As someone who recently moved (and had to leave behind their toolbox 😢), I appreciate how quickly costs of the hobby can add up. Wire strippers, tape, epoxy, soldering iron...etc...
One point to add; the fool-proof nature of the battery and the simplicity of the wiring could make this an excellent (albeit expensive) backup blaster.
I love my 4s daybreak stryfe to bits, and there's no way this would replace it as my favourite. But in the back of my mind I'm always half expecting a solder join to pop or a screw to come loose at the wrong time. This would be an excellent choice to leave in the boot of the car in case the primary goes down.
Great video, I was excited to see the geared pusher and new flywheel setup. Thanks so much for showing this off! 🧡
The thing I thought about when I saw that the eyewear plate was removable is that it’s the perfect place for a potentiometer to dial the FPS back to HVZ standard.
While the StryfeX is almost needlessly expensive, it does have potential to be a very simple blaster to mod for a wide variety of rule-sets… oh, and a lipo we don’t have to worry about as much is AWESOME now if they’d sell the batteries separately…
I'm curious, how is this "almost needlessly expensive"?
@@jaegercollects Because the DZ equivalent (with select fire) is something on the order of $60 less expensive?
Specifically, I’m talking about the Omnia pro. Walcom made this point, and looking at the numbers, I have to agree.
We need a pro line Nerf Deploy.
Seeing the battery control board and wiring gives me hope for future mod-packs for blasters using the safe NERF battery. Provided the replacement packs are cost effective. Here's to hoping the price drops a bit. Nice coverage of it!
I picked up a couple of useful ideas from your video, but a couple of things I do are running the wires through a much smaller hole before soldering the XT connector and putting the switch (without wires) back into the jam door lock, it gives it a satisfying click when closing
I love that you presented the both the Consumer and Hobbyist sides in your review. Two disappointing items I read in the Verge article on the Stryfe X, Nerf will not be selling replacement batteries for the Stryfe X and they will not be developing a springer blaster in the pro line.
If that's the case, that's not great, especially the battery.
Unless Nerf designs a new half length dart, I think a springer in the Pro line would actually be a bad idea. The heads on those Accustrike darts are about the same width as the foam, which causes increased barrel friction (and therefore decreased consistency) in springers. It's also why the heads on Worker and Dart Zone half lengths are all slighly narrower than the foam, and Dart Zone didn't just use cut down Waffles or Chilis for the DZP line.
Thanks for the great review!
I really appreciate this video. I think sometimes some people believe it’s edgy and cool to just instantly shit on everything Nerf/hasbro makes.
If it wasn’t for Nerf this hobby wouldn’t exist. The hobbyist/mod community was never their target demographic. So it makes sense when the hobby/mod community was disappointed with a lot of nerfs offerings.
This is a signal that Nerf /hasbro could be getting into the mod/hobby niche going forward. If that’s not enough to make someone excited they just have an irrational hate for Nerf/Hasbro.
If nerf/hasbro has decided to move into this niche we would be fools to bet against them. People forget How mind blowingly cool Elite was when it released.
My only major gripes are the proprietary battery ( shape )- seems like they could have made it smaller and less bulbous, shaped in such a way that it would work with other future blasters rather than being Stryfe Pro only, and the price- it really is rather expensive. Those 2 issues seem to make this blaster aimed almost solely at beginners into the 'pro' side of the hobby rather than enthusiasts, since we already have our highly customized blasters with preferred battery set ups and whatever other mods- this thing doesn't need modding to be more powerful, or rewiring, it's ready to go and newb-friendly.
It's not a bad entry into the pro space by any means, just needs to come down in price and they really do need to offer spare batteries.
I think the idea of the battery is good aswell
I do see it as an unfortunate proprietary set up with a the taper contour the match the shell
I think if they fill that part in and made the battery more square it would then be a step to compatibly towards other blasters.
Maybe it a trial and error set-up to see how it works and if Hasbro makes other flywheel blasters that then could make a compatible battery to suit multiple blastes
This is awesome I can’t wait for more people to join us in the hobby because of this
That trigger sounded just as snappy as a beginner airsoft aeg, really interesting that we only have geared triggers now
If I were to get this and mod it, the only things I would do would be a select fire kit, and maybe the xt60 addition. Otherwise it’s brilliant as is.
If I really wanted to sink money into a ground up flywheel project, I’d go for something like a regular stryfe or a swordfish.
i might also do two optional swap able cages, one for HvZ and one for 200+ games
I'm pleased about the simplicity of the wiring if they make batteries that you can buy separately, then I'll be excited. As it is, I probably will not pick this up, as I already have things that do what this does and it's hard to justify spending that much on essentially a repeat. The Blaster that I really want to see in nerfs Pro-Line is the Stampede
100% the future brand for nerf, not only being highly desired for most people, but being created for now older teens and adults due to kids nowadays not really being into nerf as much as back then. For the small amount of young children that like nerf today will now get to use OP guns like Pro compared to n strike and other classic brands.
I am greatly relieved to see that it takes Talon Mags. Out of Darts' video on it didnt mention 3rd party mag compatibility, glad to see it is compatible! As someone whos tried LiPo and found them to be pretty cumbersome and scary, I am on board with Hasbro's consumer friendly batteries. Surprisingly, Hasbro will get my money for the first time in about 5 years.
I like it. I think they are very late with it, but it will do well. After they are out for a bit and the price drops I will pick one up. I much prefer the stryfe ergos over the mkiii. I like that it's already at 150fps and has a nice solid cage that's not 3d printed.
An on off switch for LEDs, perhaps? In the door remove thing
I think that new battery design is brilliant. Yes we all already have lipos but that's enough of an advancement on it to make it worth considering, even for entrenched hobbyists imo. When you showed us that removable panel I thought that might be a suitable spot to splice in an XT60 connector (with a bit of modification to the expanded battery doors we already have).
Only points I'm a bit peeved on...
1. Why is it so hard to make a flared magwell?
2. While I'm used to using the offhand for mag releases I feel like it wouldn't have taken much to also retain the rev trigger mag drop
3. Kinda wish it had a foregrip and I don't see why they eliminated the n-strike barrel lug.
Edit: projecting into the future, if they made a hobby-grade stampede they'll cement themselves straight at the top
I love the idea of this blaster, but having already invested a bunch of money (and my heart!) in a blaster that’s essentially this with my favorite cosmetic kits, I am unlikely to get one of these. But thanks for the awesome review! Bangarang!
in all honesty, im pretty much perfectly happy with this, yes it has a few flaws; not having some sort of standard rail, or an XT60 option, but at the same time this is still a HUGE step forward for hasbro and a perfect off the shelf loaner, so im happy
Will the Nerf brand half dart mags work when used in other blasters? Would love a video on compatibility of the actual Nerf mags! The listed price of 2 for $10 seems too good to be true.
It’s not going replace the two swordfish that I want to build for hvz one of which I’m sending to you or the Jake Sully replica also for HVZ. But for the first time, it is an amazing blaster.
Are you hoping for a Pro Stampede and if it happens would you remake Eir with it? Also I had Sprecher root beer for the first time recently and I now understand why you love it so much.
Edited to fix typo. (I hate phone keyboards)
Hoping it works out for Borst! I preordered 2 for my kids as they can't do springers and the new battery makes me feel safe about handing them a lipo. I would think maybe with the worn darts and using small headed darts (not waffles) we could hopefully keep it below the 160 fps.
Great video :) Nice and balanced.
I would like the barrel lug just to be able to use Nerf barrels and maybe, by using a long barrel, lower the fps for some events.
The battery kept the Stryfe door shape. They could have made a rectangle as a standard for XPro blasters in the future. Sell us darts, mags and batteries to use in everything.
I wish they make a Rapidstrike or Hyperfire Pro. Even if Hasbro charges 160 for it, I'm willing to bite that just to get those two. As long as they can do 200fps out of the box and have a switch for low fire mode where it lowers the voltage that goes in so it drops to like 150fps at least for people that want to bring it to 150fps cap battles. It would be an amazing answer to DartZone's MK stuff or some of the other flywheelers we have out in the market. I'm no modder myself so I'd rather have something that good straight from the box.
I'd be surprised if people aren't already designing a few concepts. I am pretty stoked, this is what I want, and I am not heavily invested in a lipo ecosystem because my emphasis has been on highend springers in dmr family. That said I still want full auto akimbo worker mockingbirds for fun and profit.
Frankly I'd just run this thing as a sidearm, in place of something like a Dessert Pidgeon or similar. If I were to want a half-dart flywheel primary, I'd stick with my FDL-2X or the DZP Mk 3, and if I wanted a springer primary, I'd go with my Aeon Pro, custom Zinc 2.0 with extended magazines, or Caliburn. The fact that this takes standard Talon magazines instead of proprietary ones, or angled Talons, means that I can stick a Tachi mag on it and still use it one-handed, which is helpful for some situations. In close quarters non springer rounds, that could be really beneficial, actually.
There's no N strike barrel lug so its obviously crap. In all seriousness though i think its a solid blaster and it's good to finally see nerf back in the game again. And what better into to the pro line than a modded blast from the past. Love it.
As much as I don’t like how has to goes about most things, I think from a marketing perspective it was smart to release a pro line latter they where able to see the success of other companies with pro lines and now they are able to use the big nerf name to cut to the front of the line
Completely off topic, but have you noticed a difference in Hammershot quality between the ones with the old rail clip (the one with the spring), and the new one (the ones that are a solid plastic piece)? Because my Hammershot woth the old rail attachment hits harder, has a smoother lighter prime, has more of a hair trigger, and the hammer is less likely to slam foward on an unloaded chamber
iirc Out of Darts said the flywheels are glass-embedded nylon?
I personally want to see if the hobby will make something for that battery we could in regular modded blasters.
Should just be a matter of reproducing the jack.
@@CaptainXavier when you say jack I’m guessing you the one in the blaster correct?
Yes
I think people wil make unique systems for this version that either work with some older kits or wil work with kits that emulate the old ones..
14:34 this could also be a great place for a voltmeter as well.
10:20 i just noticed, i think thats the sling bar mount hidden inside
Do the Stryfe X mags fit in a Worker Harrier? If so, we are looking at a much cheaper Talon alternative.
Cap, I just got an idea. Because of the battery, you can probably fairly easily have a second blaster on the Stryfe that runs off of a battery in a stock while the Stryfe runs on its battery.
Hasbro may have been late to the Pro level game, but they came out swinging.
Someone please make that removable warning door into a GoPro mount. Please that would be so cool.
Unfortunately they've stated that (so far) they have no plans for springers, and the accustrike short darts aren't exactly sealed-breach-friendly, nor do they have plans to sell batteries separately.
The killer feature for me is that battery. If I forget to charge my LiPos before a game, I can just throw it into a rapid phone charger in my car on the drive and I'll at least be able to give Some Form Of Game. May not be my best, but hey. If I could bring those digits down to 120/130, it'd be an absolute must-buy for me.
I wonder how well the Accustrike half darts work in other blasters.
With the Dart Zone Outlaw now being a thing, Hasbro reworking the Fortnite Revolver into the Hammershot X would've been amazing
I am very very happy that Nerf makes it so easy to get into more competitive/"pro" foam flinging. It being 3S is a bit unfortunate as not a lot of events allow that i my end of the world.
Sadly, there are a lot more attendees at LARP events with foam flinging than the competitive stuff. On the other hand, it might finally make the LARP'ers realise that eyepro should be a thing
I think what intrigues me most is that the battery jack looks to be the same as the Perses. Could we 3D print a housing that would fit the Perses and use this battery? Looks promising.
Solid blaster. Nerf tax feels a bit too high in this case compared to other flywheel pro level blasters. If it goes on sale at any point for $90 I might pick one up.
I think A Rapid Pistol and Pump grip Longshot should be next in X Pro line.
Both solid base blasters with proven Pro level Mods.
I have to agree, the best thing they did for us was making the mag talon compatible. The battery is probably the best thing they did for the average consumer though.
It's frustrating that they changed ALL OF THE INTERNALS though so none of the existing kits will work. If they had to change the inside of the shell that much, they should have changed the outside too, it wouldn't have altered their costs any (afaik).
It's too bad that I'm boycotting hasbro as a company though, for many reasons, particularly centered around M:tG and DnD though including the past few years of Nerf as well, because this is a very intriguing offering.
Could you imagine if instead of a Longshot, their first Pro level springer is based on the 96 Crossbow shell??? But obviously modernized and either pump or bolt action
the whole mag compatibility thing is I think hasbro realizing that this is becoming more akin to airsoft where if your product isn't compatible with the existing products it won't sell as well.
Next is probably gonna be a pump-action springer, frankly, I'm hoping for an entirely new design but it's probably going to be an Alpha Trooper
Now they just need to do that with the regulator and I’ll be set on going back to hasbro for my blasters instead of dart zone
1:06 now hasbro is in the business of short dart mags. They will start taking short dart market share, and probably opening a new market.
Paint or print the eye pro plate with your emblem.
OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN
hopefully banned blasters designs a cage for this. Also, I'd like to see someone design a solenoid pusher kit for this, similar to the mechanical one in the hummingbird 2.0
They gave us what we have been asking for ,I don't care about backwards compatibility ,The mothership made the perfect stryfe and it will give worker the ability to make new kits .
Just for taking any mag and therefore their darts being the right size i might buy actually buy Nerf brand darts for the first time ever.. ever. Onky been in the hobby about 3 years and ive never willingly knowingly bought elite darts. Mega Accs, MegaXL, Vortex, Ultra Accs yes, because they are the best of that type. Elite or Acc Elite nope.. now i might. Yay hasbro.
My issues are that it costs 30 dollars more than the Omnia, and doesn't have a ton going for it over the Omnia. Similar size, but about the only advantage is the spin up time as far as I have heard. Also, the lack of pic rail is a head scratcher especially after Hasbro did so much RIGHT in making this blaster.
Overall, it isn't bad or offensive, but I'd rather have the Omnia and save the $.
Would it be possible to source the pogo pins/connector that the stock battery uses and just make your own enclosures?
Probably.
this is a good entry for someone who just gets into the hobby. but sadly, the price does not reflect that.
big win with the talon compatibility, but overshadowed with (most likely 100% intentional) incompatibility with all those bodykits.
Whilst I get the cost of buying all the parts to build a stryfe similar does exceed the cost of this even being in Australia with the currency conversion bring the cost up plus shipping but as most of us are already in the hobby n own lipos n chargers n 3d printers or at least have access too, IV gotta say it's a lil too late. As somebody coming into the hobby with no mod experience or plans to open a blaster up but wanna play among the big boys still then this would b a great blaster but Ur still gonna end up buying everything to continue with the hobby, cost Vs the resp of the market is well overpriced n the rest of the market is more pointed towards modders over newer players but still outperform NERF everytime almost halving the price for functionally similar. Personally I'd rather buy a banned blasters set up n print the extras to add to a spare shell or blaster n know il have a better blaster but as a long term modder, designer n 3d printer which IV turned I to a business I would probably charge a lil extra for the commission mainly for the bb cage set up but here in Australia were I play most of the events are 200/300 events and have only recently upt our family friendly from 130 to 150 capped which I don't really attend as if only got like 2/3 modded blaster in that range n the rest would be actually stock which tbh isn't as fun as a full auto 180 burst moving cover to cover or busting a single dart in-between the gap of a pallets to get that sweet sweet rib shot from someone hiding behind them. So unfortunately in short i can't just any pre-existing modder to invest in a stryfe pro under any circumstances here in Australia but to the US customers wanting a loaner to give out to encourage to play or even for the occasional player who doesn't wanna go hard modding but wants to still get out when they can, cost n location n intent for regular play are the big appeal and downfall of the NERF stryfe x pro
I live in the UK, so doubtful I'd ever see this on store shelves, but even so I think the only thing putting me off from this is the price point. I understand that the LiPo technology is actually a good investment, but I think the cost comparison to general LiPo chargers and the batteries themselves doesn't include the now conveniece of having a battery that can work in more than just one blaster. I do love the idea of the rechargable quick install battery, it's brilliant, but I don't think it alone justifies such a massive price point.
I am by no means an expert, I will not sit here spouting how they're overcharging just to increase profits, but on a more pragmatic level I simply cannot see a reason to spend more money on this when other offerings on the market do more for less.
What I would like to see is Hasbro using this to probe the market, see if they can enter the Pro game and set a price point, and then see that they need to bring the prices down to be more competetive. I think if they can increase the competitiion between them and Adventure Force/Dart Zone, it will lead to all parties having to step up their game! I sincerely hope that the price point isn't simply to try and fake a point that there's "no interest in the pro market" like some are theorising, because the success of other pro level blasters clearly is proving otherwise.
I'm sincerely trying not to be negative about this, but personally I am feeling the "You were *this* close to greatness" in this blaster.
I am upset at the proprietary rail system. but the rest of the blaster looks good
Engagement, for the engagement throne! A package that, for reasons, contains the most number of books since the first package I sent you full of books, is now making its way through the postal system; I definitely did not purchase some particularly... *spicy* items to include this time, no sirree.
Apropos of nothing... there will be a 2nd, much shorter note attached to one of those items in the form of a post-it (that I remind you I definitely did not purchase, specifically to place into that package) that you should read first, before reading the more lengthy, traditional note. You know, for reasons.
The "reasons" are on account of my colossal generalized laziness, by the way (had a smaller package all ready to go that I then just... did not bother taking to the post office to mail, before I wound up with a stack of more stuff to mail, so I just combined the 2 hypothetical packages into one actual package so that you're none the wiser about my procrastination... except I just explained it, so... pretend I did not do that).
How easy/difficult is it to remove the barrel itself? Any chance of swapping it for an original Stryfe barrel with lug to give us a Stryfle X (Stryfle Mk X?)?
I thought I covered that in the video. The barrel is removable but is not the same as the OG stryfe. A new part will have to be designed.
One of the major problems with this blaster that I've seen is in the magazines: I believe Maritime Foam pointed out that while the Stryfe X can take Talons, the Nerf Pro Magazines do NOT work in any blaster that isn't the Stryfe X. That to me is quite disappointing because as far as I'm aware of, the Nerf Pro magazines are now the cheapest out there at $10 for two of them.
Also, I'm surprised at how few people have talked about the potential downsides to using cut Accustrikes. While they work quite well in flywheelers, the fact that the head of the dart is about the same width as the foam makes them a pretty bad idea to use in springers. Similar to cut Waffles or Chilis, if the head of the dart is the same width as the foam, that can increase barrel friction in springers, and therefore decrease consistency and performance. If you look at Bamboos, Rubies, Embers, and Worker Gen3s, the heads on all of those darts are slightly narrower than the foam for that exact reason.
We haven't talked about it because...this is a flywheeler and they work great in it. If they come out with a Springer (which they have said they do not plan to) and release it with these darts and they don't work well THEN we will talk about it. ;)
@@CaptainXavier Fair enough!
@Thesnakerox also, I tested my Nerf Pro mags in every Talon mag compatible blaster I could find and I only found 2 groups they don't fit. Blasters that take the mag in the grip (like the Concept Pistol) and DartZone Mag adapters (this I feel was probably intentional). They fit in everything else. All my Worker blasters, my half-dart Pharoah, the Trion, the 76, all my 3d printed rifles, the DZP MK4.
personally, i think that it is the best thing that Hasbro have made since the og stryfe, but for that price, I am buying 1 and one only, ever
I wonder on long it's going take for people to develop new stuff dedicated to this blaster.
I'm guess about 3 days ago. ;)
i agree hasbro have woken up lol , and made a brillant blaster im deffinatly buying it hopefully this is a reverse of them being top of the tree for so long they lost the plot for a few years its an awswome thing they have donre
In what times we live.
The Nerf Stryfe is awsome but getting this in Australia is just ridiculously expensive. $240 for the stryfe yet you can buy a Full Auto Nightingale for only $90.
I really want to see a pro level Alpha Trooper
Is almost like they had a meeting where some exec said, Right, you know what we did for the Ultra Line? Lets not do any of that....
I was discussng the Darts with somone and how Acustrike dont work so well in Springers, but they pointed out that these Pro Acustrike darts seem to have smaller heads So should work Fine in springers.
I love all the things they sot right with this. And I get what some things had to change (eg cage size) but WHY GET RID OF THE BARREL LUG!
This thing is pulling a "Volkswagon" and can tell when its emissions are being checked lol
Best thing: the battery. No charger or other stuff to deal with or make space for. Worst thing: the price. How much is the omnia? What other features does it have?
you could do a "Slightly unfair review" of the Stryfe X compared to your modded blasters of similar style
Believe it or not...my blaster would be the one at the disadvantage.
Would daybreak flywheels work in that cage
I have no idea.
I hope the Worker Kriss Vector kit wouldn't be too hard to mod to fit this baster.
I want it!
To quote Dr. Ian Malcom... I know what the problem is; you looked at what others did and then you took the next step. You didn't do any of the work yourselves."
Nerf stood on the work of geniuses (you, out of darts,captain slug,lord draconical,walcoms7 and many others) and now they want to sell it.
Yup. We showed them what to do and they finally did it. And better than we ever could.
I uses rails and a Barrel lug. Like all the time. So the sorta Rival sized rails, and no barrel lug? is annoying.... But this is pro level, not the modulus line..
Exactly. They didn't design this for us HvZ nuts who love combo blasters. :(
Didn't they say the wheels were "glass filled nylon" or something?
Yes, they're fiberglass reinforced nylon (FRN)
I’m blown away they didn’t make a proprietary magazine since they are “forced” to use generic half-length darts that the rest of the hobby uses.
Get that price down and it will be a win for Nerf.
I think that assuming that hasbro will just go up from here... is ignoring how hasbro has been in the past few years...
Yes, They hit the ground running.... in a market that already had years to grow and learn from mistakes at a price-point that is absurd in comparison to those who already grew leaps and bounds and have amazing things at those pricepoints.
Do I hope hasbro will grow from here? of course.
Do I expect it? no.
the fact that the internals aren't compatible with previous stryfe mods shows me the exact same mentality they had with the elite 2.0 blasters: they don't care about the community and will only do good things when someone inside pushes them into it.
I can’t wait for the battery system to be reverse engineered by *someone* that might be out of range of Hasbro’s lawyers and can make that board so we can make our own 3D printed lock in battery packs with USB-C charging and protection built in.
I have seen SOOOOO many box stock blasters marketed at 150FPS consistently hit the 160FPS mark. This in turn makes the blaster "illegal" to use a local events. The solution is simply to raise the FPS cap to 160FPS as most these off the shelf blasters, springers included, consistently hit 160FPS max and usually never over. Why the community is so enamored with the 150 FPS number is beyond me.
Because if we change it to 160fps because that is what some stock blaster hits, then when a blaster comes out that hits 170 they will expect us to change it to 170. Then 180, then 190, and so forth. 150 was chosen to safety and comfort. You should not compromise safety standards for convenience.
@@CaptainXavier I'm not here to argure but "safety standards?" It's nerf. People make it seem as if there is data to show that anything over 150 FPS is dangerous. I've played 300FPS capped 'nerf' games and I've also played along side children playing 350FPS capped airsoft games. The danger is limted to the end user, usually not an FPS cap.
"I'm not here to argue" ...hmmm...dubious...
I have played 300 FPS games too. Also 75, FPS, 100 FPS games, 150 FPS, 200 FPS games, 220 FPS games, 250 FPS games, I even attended a no limit game and left with a massive goose egg on my forehead. I have played with smoke grenades, in the rain, climbing over rusty surplus WWII tanks (which was AWESOME!). I understood why some of those limits were what they were. Others seemed very arbitrary (220? Really? At least for 225). But I respected the people running the game enough to accept they knew their reasons.
There are reasons so many public, family friendly, nerf clubs cap at 150. Some of it is safety but no one really believes that 150 is somehow infinitely safer than 160. A lot of it is comfort and fun. Not everyone wants their Nerf games to hurt. They want to have fun, not get welts. Thru trial and error we found that 150 is a good balance between performance and fun. And I don't think we should change that just because Hasbro's new blaster hits a little harder. That seems like a really bad reason to change the FPS limit. Because what happens with Worker releases a 170 blaster? Change it again? At some point you reach a point where it stops being fun for a lot of people and they stop coming.
There are times and places for high FPS games. I host and attend several. But those are private, adult only events. Public, kid friendly events have to be treated differently. If we are going to change the FPS it needs to be for a better reason that convenience.
@@CaptainXavierDubious?....LAMO! Well, I appreciate you engaging in a conversation about this. We'll agree to disagree. Too many blaster hover around the 160FPS mark out the box for a cap to be 150, nothing will change my opinion as won't yours. Luckily for me (us) we don't have a select group controlling our game rules.
