Review: Nerf Elite Strongarm Unboxing and Demo (The maverick reimagined)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- This is probably my favorite elite blaster so far. The strongarm is the maverick reimagined and improved in almost every way imagineable. Its a superior sidearm to most of the alternatives in foam blasting as well, easilly outclassing both the maverick and the spectre and the firestrike. It beats most modified versions of non-elite blasters without even tinkering with it yet. Its just a really cool blaster and a ton of fun to play with straight out of the box.
I remember when the elite line first came out, I would sit and think, damn i wish they would make an elite maverick.
They made an elite repaint
People get really annoyed when a new nerf gun claims to fire up to 75 feet. But if you concentrate enough it says UP TO 75 feet meaning it can reach 75 feet at its max, not its average
I'd be much more impressed with this if it said 50 feet and found out it occasionally shot 75.
That’s no range that’s initial velocity
75 counter
josé sanchez rodriguez Yeah people don’t realize that, idiots. It’s time for people to realize it.
UP TO means the range can go up to max 75
I remember first using the maverick. I couldn't pull pack the slide....
Lol was it because you were young?
Not trying to sound like a jerk
Yeah, kind of funny how weak I was back then, now I can fire it as fast as a Barricade (Slight exaggeration)
Same here
So I wasn't the only one.....
The maverick was my first blaster, too! :D
Same here :D
me too!
Mine was the Airtech 2000 haha
TheClashKimg- Clash of Clans mine was the recon
Mine was a triad xd elite xD
i just bought one at meijer, and stock, whistler darts have a harder impact on the blaster, i like it, it is slightly better than the maverick i hit past the tree(about 50-55 feet away from my testing point outside my apartment) using the whistler, i am honestly impressed with nerf. I actually went by your review here when considering my next blaster to give my arsenal a reboot, its been about 4 years since i had a blaster in working condition, thanks for listening!
the maverick will always hold a special place in most of our hearts ... cause it's our first blaster
Matthew Helmuth, the only place the maverick belongs now that the strongarm is out is the trash can.
Shut up springrat oh oops
Springtrap respect the elders.
Matthew Helmuth My first blaster is a Disruptor.
First blaster I ever picked up. I miss it though. It ended up messing up with the rotation mech, not rotating enough to fire. But while it worked it was a blast (pun intended)
Personally, the Strongarm is my favorite. The thing fires incredibly fast for its size, and it can make very easy long-range doubletaps for those of you who play Shields.
i just got this today as a souvenir from my dad and I LOVE ITTT!!!
When I saw this video I thought, "I HAVE to get this gun." Two hours later I'm driving home with it on my lap. It's SO strong and good looking. Glad I got it. Thanks for the great video, Drac!
The Maverick is the icon of Nerf. This one is the next generation of the Maverick. And it still has the old school look of the maverick with a modern paintjob and top Nerf technology.
I still prefer my maverick, she's my baby
Tardis_98, now that the strongarm is out, the only place the maverick belongs in is the trash can.
Springtrap ikr
Springtrap disruptor is still better than the Maverick and strongarm.
Alexander Pedersen well the disruptor depends. Faster loading, but well. You cant play russian roulette :P
H
That's cool that someone else loves the Mavericks as much as I do. Seems like everyone I talk to hates them, but can never give me a clear reason why. They're great little sidearms. Can't wait to play around with a Strongarm!
I got this for my birthday last Sunday and instantly noticed that this is the most kickass Nerf gun ever.
It's much more. It's got the Elite range and darts, the Raider's slam-fire, the Spectre's cylinder and outer design, and the Maverick's simplicity and capacity.
I adore my Stryfe and I'm looking forward to modding it fully. But the Strongarm is looking really good.
You are never too old for Nerf. My dad loves nerf and he is 40-something!
299 videos :O
The mod guide for the Strongarm is gonna be 300 :DDDD
Yay!
Thanks Drac, this was a real treat. I really like your reviews, and hope all is going well with you.
When you reload this like a destiny Guardian:
Awezom
Lol I totally recked some guys at a nerf war with my Maverick and stryfe while everyone else was using tons of strongarms it was so fun &I my brother has a strongarm and my modded maverick that only had the ar plastic pins and ar spring removed and a slight spring stretch my Mac shoots way further and harder
*mav stupid text correcter
@Lukas D it sucks theres no way to modyfy the power of the strongarm
Yesterday, I was at Toys-R-Us to buy a Nerf gun. I was thinking of getting either the discontinued but limited stock Nite Finder or the Strongarm. I looked at your video (and some other curious people) and thanks to you, I own the making-the-maverick-obsolete strongarm. Thanks.
first?
LordDraconical
“The strongarm is hot garbage...” -Drac
Its the deagle of nerf guns
Yes, Speedload 6 is a Slamfire pistol.
But, It's a dart tag pistol, and it jammed quite often while slam firing, however there aren't any reports of it jamming often on single fire.
Man I want this one! Good thing I watched this video, because I did not know about some of these improvements!
If you live in UK I believe, grey tigger versions of the blasters are sold. These versions aren't as powerful to accomodate for the country's safety guidelines
You just summed up everything I need to know about a blaster in one comment, well done. By the way, can you do a quick review in this style of the triad. I was thinking about sidearms to get but I don't have very much pocket cash so I figured I could get a triad and just mod the living crap out of it. Thanks for your time.
Old video, but question relevant. We know that Strongarm cylinders are shorther than Maverick ones; but are they also thinner, or do they have similar radius betwen axis and plunger aperture?
My fist two nerf guns were fiefs trick and the one the only strong arm it is my fave springer pistol by far
The maverick is the og, I’ve got four or five of those, they are just such reliable, easy to use guns, but I did get two strong arms, and to be honest, it’s pretty much an exact replica, but it’s a little more convenient because of the length of the gun, and how much easier to use it is, I remember not being able to pull back the maverick, but that isn’t much of a problem for the strongarm
what is much better?:
A.) Maverick
B.) Spectre
C.) Strongarm
Hate to be picky, but the Retaliator does not have slamfire. So this truly is the first pistol with slamfire.
just a little thing, there is a little button under the centre of the barrel when it's dropped, and when you press thet, you can prime it and fire and see very good that it comes forward.
Drac I totally agree that the maverick is the best gun to start with. My first mod was taking out my maverick's ARs yet sadly it did not survive.and now is being upgraded to a prop gun and will be revealed when done but I still replaced it with the fire fury
Omg! The Maverick was my first nerf blaster as well!
My first Nerf gun was a NERF Pyragon, a Christmas present form a friend who was spoilt. I guess we all love pressies from spoilt relatives
Someone else informed me that the nerf combo set like thing is called the Unity Power System its a 3 in 1 blaster with the scout the titan and the hornet. You can buy these separately or buy them as a toys R us exclusive. Personally a lot of non modded buzz bee guns shoot pretty decently. Buzz bee line has 5 guns that can combine in different ways. one of them is the Maniac
and then Mech 20 or Automatic 20 i cant remember.
Actually, it's called the Unity Power System, the Titan is just the rocket launcher part.
Maverick is still in my heart
if you look hard enough, you'll find a review somewhere. they would basically come up with two or three blasters that linked up together
my strong arm isnt accurate :(
The pressure seal on the trigger pull is like the Nagant revolver, that's why it could be suppressed.
im loving the sights on all the elite guns
please do a elite rayven, original rayven, and stryfe comparison soon! My purchases hang in the balance!
@Eric VanDerEems I was a fan of him since he started his review on proton
my first nerf gun was the nitefinder and my first mod was a doublestrike that I later painted noob flat black with 97 cent paint from home depot. I've gotten better since then:).
I used to hate rotating barrel nerf guns until I got out my first nerf gun which is the maverick and saw how good it was so now I'm probably gonna get the strong arm
My first was the recon, latest The Lawbringer. The Lawbringer is the closest thing to a hammershot in my area
you would probably not even have to widen the holes, and if you did, i think the foam on the plunger would still keep the seal if the hole you made was still small enough for the foam pad to surround it
The plastic tips are nice and rubbery, the only way I can see it causing damage is by like knocking a cup off a table or something.
I don't know what makes Nerf revolvers fun, but they are.
Just opened my strongarm. Workds great. Slamfire is ace. I will still use the maverik though cos I like my whistler darts. Tac rail placing is a definat3 improvement.
Nice vid. Can't wait for the big 300!
I just got this it is my favorite nerf gun i have then agian i anly have the roughcutt and the firestrike but i get 50 -60 feet flat and 70 - 80 feet with a slight arch. AWESOME BLASTER
My friend said recently he may give me his maverick or magstrike, he said "If I give you the maverick, you're going to need to seriously mod it." Totally agreed, if he does pass it to me I'll be taking out the ARs
[] El General do the drop clip mode too
I also got this blaster January fourth and I absolutely love it!
Drac, you should do a review guide of the Elite Rayven CS-18 and the Elite Alpha Trooper CS-18 when it comes out.
The Retaliator doesn't have slam fire.
Owen Layfield *facepalms*.
This is a strongarm
Not a retaliator

I think that when nerf listen to the community, they come up with some awesome blasters! Saying this, do you think they will start to do combo blasters in the future? Buzzbee tried this, but it failed, so i think nref have a good chance. They could build something like your spartan shot but have the blaster attach and detach on an under-mounted tactical rail. Time to start making some use of these under-mounted tactical rails.
my first nerf blaster was the doomlands lawbringer... yes, the lawbringer
I would just like to point out that you are wrong with the air re-stricter being incorporated into the plunger tube, that is dry fire protection.
Why your no picture is upside down?
Translation: I"M SO HAPPY, THIS IS AWESOME!
that number,300 renembers me of King Leonidas xD
Only issue with the titan is that you have to order online for a second missile. Good thing the missile is tough as nails compared to regular darts.
Maverick is my 1st Nerf, 'bout $10 new, with a Buzz Bee Jaguar. Then I saw this vid... Strongarm's only 12.88, gotta have one also.. was just gonna get one blaster, it's all Drac's fault that I'm a Nerf-nerd now!
Srsly tho, thnx for uploadin these reviews
(btw, all three of 'em shoot Elite darts WAAAY better'n Micro-darts)
When elite darts wear being called consistent
I respect peoples' opinions about the Maverick, but to be honest, this is my favorite blaster. it was my first (and currently still my only one) MODERN nerf gun a(the others were dart tag) I also like it because of slam fire. I can fire like a full auto with it and it in addition is easy to hold still
I just realized that since its just dart posts and not an AR, u could do a rear loading mod with it!
Hey Drac, little Big up from France !
I just love this gun !
Do you think there could be a way to add a tac rail below the cylinder ? There's room enough to !
Waiting for a tutorial video on it !
Best of ya ! Duky
Wow i love the old maverick but this is way nicer than the old version. I'm so going to buy this.
@pascalez while you may enjoy carrying a twenty pound gun as a pistol I prefer a maverick or spectre for its size capacity and easily capable potential. And the strongarm has given us who like these guns the best of both. Happy new years no harsh feelings

It was my first blaster 2 and it's still my personal fav :)
mavs are so damn reliable, its scary. i loved my mav. i modded it to were it wouldnt fire darts, but upon pulling the trigger, it would make a loud crack, like a 22 rifle
It intentionally could not fire darts, even loaded. I modded it for stuff like cosplay and youtube videos
+Ryan Marks nope, i rotated one part of the plunger tube, and drilled small holes in places in the shell so the air could escape better
+Ryan Marks no, in case i were to reverse the mod to where it would fire darts again
The Maverick was my first blaster!!!
Hey Drac. Have you ever heard of a problem with the StrongArm NOT firing? The dart will not fully leave the barrel and get caught in the muzzle as the barrel rotates. It's like there's little, to no air moving the through the plunger. I have 1 StrongArm, 1 Eltie Jolt and 2 Triads that all are doing the same thing after only a week! The only commonality is that they have all sat for a week loaded but not cocked. Thanks!
No, it is not. Google it, do whatever you want, but the way I was putting it is grammatically correct.
Nerf has a combo blaster its i believe its called the big bad Titan. Also Buzz bee's combos did not flop. They are bought quite frequently
Finally got a Strongarm here in the UK. My god it's scary, and to think that the Maverick supposedly had a 4kg spring (according to nerf.wikia.com).
If you were to drill through the back of the cylinder in the strong arm, could you rear load it and still have it fire?
wow you take real pride in Nerf guns
Is there ever going to be a mod guide for this? i recently picked one up and i wondering, i'm planing on ordering OMW kit, but i wonder what else can be done.
hey drag, i did a drop barrel mod on my maverick, but it is really unstable now when the barrel is out. it still works fine, but i would like to know if there is a way to stabilise the barrel
cannot wait to see what you do with this one! :D
Maverick was my first. Modded it to keep up with strongarm/disruptor/hammershot
Hey Drac sweet video but why haven't you put up a cosmetic mod for it yet?
i watched dracs review of one and it didnt seem all too impressive. I would really like to see nerf do an N-strike combo line :) also you are thinking of the big bad bow and the titan lol i meant like blasters you could buy separately and put onto any blaster by the way :)
hay it does because a 44.magnum the barrel drops left like a maverick rev-6 , the strongarm , and specter because both nerf and hasbro desind them to be magnum's and 1 more each the maverick , strongarm , and specter all have a 6 round before reloading. I know this for owning a maverick myself , playing COD:black ops 2 and MW 3, and waching lord drac the nerf vamp.
On the internet you are never the only one
Since Drac never show his face, lets just assume he's headless.
My friend has no idea about primaries so one time he had me run this as a primary while he got a rapid strike
Thx Drac to teaching me how to use a StrongArm because i have StrongArm
im pretty sure that if u remove those small pegs on the back of the barrels, it can become rear loading
You Just got a sub because you are epic and the strongarm is my favorite gun
Sam unwin you have to take out the stick in every bullet hole and then it will fit the orange bullets.
Just a question, when are you going to do a Strongarm Mod guide?
It has been five months and I am asking because whenever I watch this, the mod guide by GriffinMods is the featured video.
Thanks,
-Typhlo
i think a good load out would be the Strongarm and Retaliator with that ammo vest
My friend's little brother had one of these, and he got offended by me and my friend playing fake Russian Roulette, so he put it to his head 3 times. Apparently, his mom got super pissed at him, and threw the gun in the trash can. AND IT WASN'T EVEN LOADED!!!!
-Aplab
Hey drac. I'm starting to do the whole mod/review Nerf gun thing. But I need an intro to my vids. What software did you use for your intro?
whats the point of getting the elite alpha trooper if you already have a regular alpha trooper then you just go out and buy elite darts, sorry if I mistake this but don't take it wrong I love Nerf guns.
