This is a cool Nerf blaster

This is a cool Nerf blaster, we're already having fun shooting down the hallway and the cats go nuts figuring out where the darts land. Mission accomplished.

Pros:
-Cool design. The molded plastic on the grip is made to look like it's been taped like a "zombie apocalypse" gun, and the overall colors are attractive in the usual Nerf way.
-Shotgun-style pump action. You pull on the forward handle to "cock" the gun, and shoot with the trigger. The design is fully manual, meaning you have to cock it each time, which is a neat effect. The action is smooth.
-Revolving revolvers. A seriously cool touch, every six shots you can pull a second trigger to flip to the next revolver and keep going.
-Customizable. The front reloading grip can be placed in three positions, making it ideal for righties or lefties.
-Simple assembly. Out of the box two of the revolver cartridges are pulled out so the unit lays flat, putting them in is a snap.

Cons:
-Fairly weak. Although the darts have decent range, know that this is definitely a medium powered gun at best, not meant for high accuracy or range.
-No suction cups. Darts are standard "bullet" type designs.
-No spare darts. You have only enough darts to fill the unit, and not a single extra. Given all the darts this thing puts out, you'll probably want to get spared now.
-The action, although a lot of fun, isn't 100% consistent. It can be a little hard to tell when darts are properly seated, meaning sometimes when you shoot some air will leak out result in the dart either being stuck in the chamber or barely clearing the front of the gun. Other reviewers say the cocking mechanism can be fouled if you don't do the pull correctly and cause a similar condition, more testing is needed but I'm sure that's adding to the woes. Either way, check that the darts are seated and give a good pull and most shots are fine.
-Requires some hand size / strength. There's a lot going on here. First, the unit has a trigger at the back and pull handle at the front, which for very young or small players might take some getting used to. Switching revolvers also requires a fairly heavy pull on the second double trigger, which again could be hard for younger or smaller hands. Overall I'd say this unit is definitely better for adults who want to pester each other in the office, than for very small children. Anyone in between shouldn't have too much trouble.

Overall I like this unit. It's very fun, it has a ton of ammo onboard, and the unique action will keep you entertained for a long time. I'm not a "serious" Nerf player so I can't comment on that aspect, but I would note this isn't a particularly strong or accurate unit, so I'd say it's much better for having fun, and wouldn't work well if you're looking for serious accuracy.

I am a Dad now, but I'm still a kid at heart.  I can say, after 30 years of Nerf Guns and such, this is absolutely and undoubtedly my favorite.  It doesn't have the most power (Kudos Nerf for the Elite line) and it doesn't have the biggest clip, but somehow, after all these years, Nerf has come out with the coolest Nerf gun Ever!!

Ranges are good, totally indoor competitive.  I'm thinking 40+ feet on a good shot.  Also, this gun now has an upgrade kit available from other vendors (OMW) which should help the power some.  It's expensive though, and not necessary to be super fun either way.

The one handed cocking is definitely the coolest feature of the gun.  It makes every kid (and adult) feel like a total gunslinger.  It may be a little difficult for small children to do though, because it requires a decent bit of thumb strength.

The paint colors are very cool and unique.  The post apocalyptic look is very hip and zombies are in now, so it goes well with most kids.

The price is great for what you get.  Get 2!!  That's the best thing about it!  It's a spring loaded Nerf gun that you can shoot two at a time.  What more could you want?

Works great, my 4 year old loves it during our Nerf battles. The drums were a little bit of a pain the first time loading, but I figured it out. Cool toy. Doesn't seem to run through batteries too quickly. Takes 4 D batteries.

The Captain America Civil Car shield is a fun Nerf toy for my kids. The Nerf blaster portion (tucked under the shield) is easy to operate and there is extra storage for Nerf Elite darts so that the kids can quickly reload the blaster while playing.

My only complaint about this shield is that the star button mechanism that opens the shield and reveals the blaster is VERY sensitive. If one of my kids is using this shield as a shield (to block incoming darts) it's very easy for an incoming dart to hit the star in the middle of the shield and cause the shield to "open." It's not a total deal breaker, but it's an annoying problem when it happens during a Nerf war.

My Husband and I have become dart gun collectors over the last few years. We are adults that like to act like kids and get into dart gun fights. This Nerf Zombie Strike Doominator Blaster is one of our absolute favorites to date. We have several dart guns from the Nerf Zombie line and they are all well done. I love that it is a quiet gun that is not motorized. We have learned that while you do have to do the work to pump a non-motorized gun like this one, it is worth it because then you can pump it and your victim can not hear you coming. So, we prefer this style of dart gun.

This particular gun is great because it holds 24 darts in four separate rotating barrels. It is quick and easy to pump the gun in between shots. We could easily fire all darts in a matter of seconds one at a time. The handle for the pumping action is also flexible. You can move it from the bottom of the gun to either side which is a nice feature.

It fires fast and smooth. It also has a nice range. I didn't measure the exact distance, but it easily fires from our kitchen through to our living room wall. We of course but it to the test in battle and it worked fantastic. The only problem we have is that we both want one now. I highly recommend this Nerf Zombie Strike Doominator Blaster.

I like this gun because it is powerful easy to use and it comes with really cool attachments like the laser pointer and the silencer.

My kids love this one. It is like a six shooter revolver, easy loading and easy cocking. It is not too big, but not too small either. The one thing that is amazing is how strong it shoots. Maybe because it is new and our others are older (so springs are warn out??) but this little bugger shoots those nerf darts hard and fast.

Lots of fun!

This gun is a blast! The numerous features and semi-automatic firing makes it probably the best Nerf gun for its price. First of all, the gun uses a twelve-dart revolver build, helping to prevent jams. However, the gun WILL jam if you try to fire it with no batteries included. A trigger-lock while the gun is off prevents such accidents otherwise. Should a jam occur, a jam-clearing door is on top of the weapon. A pair of wheels grabs the darts as the trigger pushes them forward, hurling them out at great speed (The shots easily clear the longest hallway in my house, which is at least 30 feet). While the wind-up prevents stealth, it is more than worth it to whip out two and go flying through the air like an Action Movie hero guns akimbo, unleashing a barrage of darts. It's not meant to be a subtle weapon.

The blaster has several safety features, likely inspired by the Recall on the Nerf Recon: The large barrel at the end of the weapon prevents little fingers from reaching into the running wheels (I, a fully grown man, can barely reach them) and opening the jam-clearing door automatically shuts off the motors. Stocks and rail-mounted parts work with this weapon, though the Recon stock seems to have some trouble staying put. So far, my copy of the blaster has had no problems and I haven't had to replace the batteries yet.

It takes a little while to reload(this gun's potential rate of fire makes it a common event) and it is a bit awkwardly balanced to the front, but those are more than balanced out by the sheer fun factor.

Nerf blaster which, once modded, feels amazing. Fun, entertaining and useful. Not my favorite blaster.

This is an awesome nerf gun - no boy will be disappointed with this!

My nephew got a kick out of this.  It is somewhat cheaply made but it is for children so what do you expect.  It fired pretty well but there are some nerf guns that are better in that department.  They are also much more expensive though.  Fun toy for the right kid at a cheap price.

As usual with the Nerf brand, this blaster is well made and very sturdy. The cocking mecanism is a little bit stiff in the end, which may be a problem for younger children, and if you don't push it completely, it will not fire. But once you get the hang of it, it is a blast to use, with a very cool loading sound.

Concerning the ranges, I would say that they are good without being great, on par with the nerf elite blasters. Biggest problem would be the accuracy, which drops dramaticaly after less than 20 feets.

Overall, as other people already said, I can confirm that it is a blaster with medium performances, but still very fun to play with once you are used to the cocking mecanism.

Our household has many, many Nerf blasters, but it is already apparent that this one is going to be a favorite.

It's a big blaster, unwieldy for any but the sturdiest little kids, but older ones will love it. It is configurable, with add on parts and more you can order online -- but what comes in the box will keep your Nerf lover busy for quite a while. The distance and accuracy are very good. There's a scope, stock, drop grip and a banana clip with ten darts.

Requires 4 AA batteries, which are not included, so if you give this as a gift make sure to include the batteries so the recipient can start playing right away.

Note: We got the "frustration-free" packaging, which was very nice. (Does that imply the other packaging is frustration-laden?)

This thing is amazing!  It's very well made, just the right size for a child, and has a ton of power.  Don't be fooled by the girly patterns, this blaster packs plenty of punch.  The smart system detects which darts are loaded too, just as advertised.  Unfortunately it's too hard for my 3-year old to prime, but she can depress the trigger so long as she uses two hands. The light doesn't really do much to "charge" the dart heads, but I didn't buy it for that feature so the light is just kind of an extra.

The only bad thing I can say about this blaster is that it has the typical Nerf "one side looks great, the other side is plain" MO.  The side shown in the picture has a cool clear-blue inlay, and the graphics shown, but the other side is completely white with no inlay and no graphics.  This is disappointing to me since I'd rather pay a couple of dollars extra to have the blaster look uniform on both sides.  Still, the thing works so great that I'm not going to deduct a star.

The Vortex Pyragon Blaster is the latest line of shooters from Nerf that shoots discs rather than the longer darts.  I got it for my son who has one other disc-type blaster from Nerf.  While it is fun and holds a lot more ammo than the other blasters (it has a 40-disc drum), it is fairly bottom heavy and can fatigue your arm after a long battle.  My son (12-years old) likes the 40-disc drum because it can snap on his other disc blaster, and because of the new SlamFire Feature, which allows you to hold open the chamber via the trigger and repeatedly fire by pumping the gun.  My son was able to empty all 40 discs in about a minute.

In terms of firing power, it is great.  Like the other vortex guns, it has a very long range (at least 40'--maybe more) and this gun is accurate.  We didn't shoot it on a windy day, so I don't know how that might affect the accuracy.  When it fires, it spins and the disc catches air underneath, allowing it to travel farther than the darts.  Because of its spinning action, it can actually sting a bit if you are hit at close range, so be careful!

Overall, it is a fun addition to the Vortex line.

It looks great, and I have fun flying it around while making laser noises with my mouth.  Cool toy!  The underside has good detail too.

This gun is by far one of the coolest Nerf guns
I have purchased. The 2 barrels makes it great for
Up straight attacks. This gun has INCREDIBLE
accuracy, and is awesome. Buy now.

Pros:

2 barrels-Incredible.

EXCELLENT accuracy.

Ammo rail!

Cons:

Have to reload ALOT.

The Ammo rail kinda blocks when you're trying
to scope in on the tactical rail

All in all, there are more Pros
than Cons. Buy this gun, I
recommend it.
