Nerf N-Strike Elite SurgeFire

Very good product.

This is a good blaster, with good accuracy and range, although I’m not sure they actually reach the 27 meter that is advertised.Our son mostly wears the gun around as a Star Wars clone trooper heavy blaster when he is in full clone gear.The only thing is that we got this as a gift for our 6-year old son and he has some trouble reloading. Moreover, even though I expected it to be more sizeable, its a fairly large gun, so it is slightly unwieldy for him (although the young private is very pleased with it. Reloading the darts requires a bit pf practice and patience as the drum has to be rotated. But you can load 15 darts of the elite type at the same time and then you are ready to go. The gun is charged with a front pump mechanism. And it shoots the darts in a powerful manner. Hopefully the gun will keep its fire power, I‘ve found that some of the Nerf guns are excellent at first but then tend to lose power after a while land frequent use.Personally I’m not a big fan of the bright orange and blue colouring scheme. A slightly more subtle, muted colours would be cooler. I think new range of Nerf guns with more attractive colours is coming but that wouldn’t be in time.We’ll have to buy some more these elite darts now as a few have already gone missing.Lastly given that it was meant as a birthday gift I was quite disappointed that it was sent without a protective box and dropped at our front door. Which spoiled the birthday surprise. Moreover it was barely presentable given the shipping greases and dent and with the postage label stuck on the front of box. This has perhaps nothing to do with the product but it just annoys me that some sellers are so inconsiderate.

Very decent gun, works as advertised. Perhaps I wasn't shooting it enough times but for me it never skipped like some Youtube reviewers claim, even when in rapid fire.Very good range, haven't tried 27m yet but definitely goes 10-15m which in most cases should be enough.If you're giving it as a present, unless you absolutely have to, don't mount the drum. It's super difficult to get it out again to put back in the box. I think Nerf should provide some tool for this.Visually the gun looks very impressive, colours are bright and vibrant. The mechanism is sufficient, once you get a grip on how to reload it's very quick. Loading is non-problematic. Even though it's got capacity of 15, my niece ends up picking all bullets after firing 3-4 tops every time (to not lose any).Aim-wise it's pretty good, you can compete with others in shooting empty cans or bottles.Overall for the price it is an impressive gun. Perhaps me still remembering old children bullet-guns impacts my judgement but I can safely recommend it.

The gun it’s self was easy to use, for my son who is 10. Can load and fire 15 bullets which was good. He really like it

Great gun, however very disappointed as ordered this for my son as as a Christmas present and was delivered in the actual nerf gun box, no addition boxes. So when Amazon delivered he saw what was left on the doorstep. Not great! Great gun, does as it says and son happy with it, shame as lost the surprise!!

A decent nerf ‘shot gun’Reasonably accurate but don’t expect epic sniper shots especially with old bullets.Can be really fun and tactically powerful when fully loaded, but once you’re out of ammo it takes ages to reload leaving you vulnerable to counter fire.

Excellent blaster - when compared with the Strongarm/Disruptor (arguably the best elite blaster on the market) the range is solid and fairly consistent. Reloading can be a bit of a faff as the barrel doesn’t swing out or rotate easily so four of the chambers are a bit hard to access.That said, personally, this is now my favourite blaster - it dominates a strongarm with its ammo capacity and rapid ‘slam-fire’ but will suffer from slightly longer reload times for a full reload. It’s faster to reload than a magazine, but not as easy as the Strongarm (due to increased size and some harder to access chambers).It’s a bit too awkward for small children due to the increased size and stiffer priming handle, but if they’re using other ‘rifles’ like the Retaliator or Rampage they should adapt quickly enough.

This nerf gun has a 15 bullet drum magazine and is great fun with the kids! Only issues is picking up the nerf bullets to load it all again! Good model and sturdy gun, often doesn’t fire in a straight line but when it’s this fun, it’s not a major thing to knock it for. Simply out of the box, drum magazine in, load the bullets and away you go!
