Big Gun - Little Power

The look of this gun is intimidating. My College age daughter was extremly excited to have it to shoot her 11 year old brother. Disappointing is all I can say - it shoots but not like a sniper rifle. Not enough air pressure to keep the bullet in flight long enough for a sniper like shot.

If I would have written this review on day one I'd say this is one of the best nerf guns ever. After a couple of days I shot it and it only went 5-6 feet. Also the bi-pod is too delicate and broke. The idea of this gun is good though. I just think they made it too clumsy and delicate. It is very hard to cock.

great looking item, and it came quickly, so those are good.  For me, this puts out too little power to be usable.  I think I measured short circuit current to be 0.046 A (46mA) when I was playing around with it.  I was hoping to use it to power an AA battery charger with a 12V input but it didn't produce enough to even power the charger's circuitry.  I'd only recommend getting this if you have a very low power requirement (such as keeping a battery from going dead that has absolutely no load attached).  Even though it didn't fit my needs, I'm going to rate it highly still as it did work, came packaged nicely, and arrived on time.

Too heavy and awkward for small jobs/equipment.  Ok for large pieces of equipment where you can stand to use the gun.  Seems powerfull enough to grease most lubrication points.

As others have said. Slow loading times and weak power make this an inferior blaster. 2 stars instead of one because the design look is cool, but performance pulls it down

I wanted something to blow off a large pergola; this isn't it.. This has very little power.  I have a large backpack blower that is too big.  Need something in between

This gun was a dissapointment for me. Although I used it in the yard it was not worth bringing to the Airsoft feild which is why I bought it.
The MAG holds 30-40 BB's so you have to have more than one MAG stacked on hand (another $7)
It didn't shoot half way across the feild so I was never able to hit a target. Not enough FPS for any real airsoft competition on the field. I read somehwere however that the spring can be replaced with a higher FPS spring?
The battery was fully charged and it didn't make it to 3 hours. I would HAVE to bring a spare battery to play all day (another $7).

Overall I guess it is fine for a beginer backyard game but don't bother if you are going to spend the cash going to an airsoft feild (I paid 15 to get on the feild and the BBs had to be bought there and cost a min of $25 for 4K) you need a REAL airsoft gun!

If you are going to spend the money to play on a real airsoft competition feild don't bother with this model.

Easy to install, but really falls short in what I was looking for.
I tried it on both the Glock 26 and the Beretta Mini-Cougar
and it was a miserable failure.

Shoots pretty accurate. I was hoping to be knocking down wooden pop-ups but I simply could not. There was not enough power.

Ok, so the pistol is very nice. It's a 1:1 scale, has very realistic weight, makes you feel like you own a revolver. A couple pros and cons I feel as though I should list.

Pros: great feel, great qualities.

Cons: very poor accuracy, very poor FPS (it's great when the bullet actually moves.) and is very slow on reload time.

I had wished for this gun to be way more capable of being a strong and powerful gun, seeing as how it has the properties of a revolver. Also I feel I should note that, while I may continue to wright awful stuff, this gun is great for small scrimmages or as a sidearm intimidation factor. By small scrimmages I do mean when you're upstairs and you're getting sick of your brother so you both start firing away. I literally typed this review after I was in a "pistol only" airsoft match, and was greatly defeated. If your looking for something to mess around with or to have as a intimidation piece, I strongly feel this is the gun for you. If you are desperate and you need a gun and you run across this thinking it is a great and powerful fire arm, you are going to be very disappointed. As I said before, use this revolver only as an intimidation piece or to just have fun.

Thanks.

This air rifle has several great features:

1) comfortable to handle/fire
2) accurate sites (after sighting it in, which did not take much time)
3) powerful (at least enough to kill iguana and vermin, which is why I bought it)

However, it is no where near as "quiet" as it's promoted to be. I saw several reviewers that suggested that the "stock" ammo is rather quiet while the faster ammo (like the Gammo Raptor pellets) make it louder. I found this to be entirely untrue, as each pellet is loud.

Because the rifle works on a spring-loaded system, there is going to be considerable sound when the spring fires. In this case, I can only describe the sound as a very sharp crack/snap, almost like a large, metallic rubber band being snapped (if there were such a thing).

So, buy this for performance but NOT for sound dampening. My 760 Pumpmaster I had growing up as a kid  (20 yrs ago) was MUCH quieter than this.

PELLETS ARE TOO LIGHT FOR A HIGHER POWERED AIR GUN.  THEY MAKE A LOUD CRACK SOUND AND NOT VERY ACCURATE.

Does well under low/moderate power loads (900 FPS) in my Blackhawk .45 Colt.  I can get my reflex sight on within about 1" of bullseye at 30 yards from shooting sticks (no bench).  Put in hunting loads of 1400 FPS and the first shot is great.  Subsequent shots are all over the place, from 8"-12" off center.  It will hold up to lighter loads, but not "hunting" loads.  I'll be going the "drilled and tapped" route next season.  For now I will just limit myself to the lighter loads.

Have you read my other Nerf blaster review?

This is another blaster for those who like to tinker. As sold, it's a big heavy effete lump of intimidating plastic. It takes 6 D-cell batteries, but if the voltage drops a little, it will fail to cycle. No, the batteries aren't dead. They're just not strong enough to power the motor.

But there's a VERY easy solution. 9-volt batteries!! There's a very nice video online for what must be the best Vulcan hack to-date.

Remove the battery tray
Wire two 9-volt batteries in series (+ to -)
Attach to the contacts in the tray(+ to +, - to -)
Reinstall battery tray

Now you have enough juice to cycle the motor and deliver darts at a decent rate and power. But it's only just decent. 25 rounds per belt and a range comparable to an unmodded Maverick just doesn't add up to the sort of suppressive fire this SHOULD be able to dish out. Though swapping belts may make you feel like Rambo, it's too slow of a process in cubicle warfare.

For my money, the solution is a Recon with 35 round drum:
Drums swap out as quickly as a mag
Each drum hold 35 rounds (10 more than a belt)
A Recon without barrel and stock is very compact

Sadly, the drum is not yet available without the purchase of a Raider, but it will be. But buying a Raider isn't a bad idea. The Raider is a lousy blaster, but in addition to the drum, it comes with an excelent telescoping stock that will attach to a new Recon. Older Recons like mine with the "ARMED" tube will not function with this stock.

Picked this up as a rebate was available for its purchase price with a OMD body.  The unit is under powered for anything more then a few feet away, really disappointed with its output, and that it runs on 2- AAA batteries, and for not very long.  I have used 3 sets of batteries, and maybe shot 20 pics with them!  Seems every time I get it out to use, the batteries are dead.  The issue is it has a flaky button to turn it on, you can't really tell it is starting up, and only know its on when the pilot lite comes on or blinks for low battery. It is compact, it's not really made for the OMD body, so I guess they need to get them out of the distributors hands for lack of sales.  As a micro 4/3rds standard accessory, it does work on the Lumix cameras as well.  For the price, I would get a third party unit with more power, when it comes to light output, smaller is not better.

In the interest of full disclosure, I'll point out that this gun was purchased and used by grown men chasing each other around a corporate environment in an ongoing series of NERF wars, so if you're purchasing this for a child, this review may not apply.

I used the Vulcan with the micro sonic darts it came with, as well as the streamline darts we have around the office, which are both  supported by the gun. The biggest problem I've run into is darts jamming between the dart belt and the barrel. This seems to happen quite frequently with either type of dart, and makes for a fairly lackluster ambush of your beloved co-workers.

Another interesting thing about this gun is it takes 6 D batteries, which adds a considerable amount of heft to it. It has a handle on top which makes carrying it around easier, and makes its ideal firing position from the hip. Even with the tripod detached (which is completely incapable of supporting the gun's weight on its own) the gun is really not meant to be fired from shoulder level. And despite the 6 D batteries, the range wasn't that much better than the pump-action N-Strike Raider Rapid Fire CS-35, and it's a lot less accurate.

Like most NERF weaponry, they go well out of their way to make sure this device could never be mistaken for something that could do any real damage. This gun is ugly to the point of laughter.

Despite its flaws, it does have good battery life, and has a fairly low price point for a fully-automatic toy. The belt was easier to reload than I'd anticipated (a fair bit easier to load than other NERF-style magazines I've encounted, like the CS-35). If you're looking for something to occasionally spray darts all over the place for a few seconds (when it's not jammed), or set on your desk as a deterrent for any preemptive strikes, this may fit the bill. That said, I probably wouldn't purchase another one of these, at least not for the take-no-prisoners world of office warfare.

Very small.  Has only a power and an eject button.  Works well though.
