Siren Maulr Review
The springer primary of Siren’s new line is an interesting set of choices. It’s, understandably, made specifically for Siren’s darts at the expense of others, but that leads to inconsistencies with...

Somehow, I never got around to reviewing it, but the Eaglepoint was one of the hottest toys of the Elite 2.0 line overall, not just for the holidays when it was some deep discounts. This was a point...
View ArticleNerf N Series Sprinter Review
The first mag-fed N Series blaster, the Pinpoint, isn’t the sharpest tool. What a relief, then, that the second one is an insanely fun powerhouse! The Nerf N Series Sprinter is my favorite blaster of...

I wasn’t really expecting to see a “mini” minigun on shelves, but here we are. The Adventure Force Lancer isn’t as powerful as other things on shelves, or as practical. But I’m not sure practical is...

After putting out the Nerf Pro Stryfe X as an online-only entry, Hasbro has shifted strategy. Gone are the expensive rechargeable batteries and straight short dart magazines. Now we’re doing less...
View ArticleSiren Blink Review
Siren hasn’t had the best starting run, between the ergonomics and performance issues of the Maulr (springer primary) and the Gnarl (mag-fed springer pistol). Luckily, the top blaster in the line, the...
View ArticleNerf N Series Minecraft Pillager’s Crossbow
We’ve seen a Nerf Minecraft Pillager’s Crossbow before. It wasn’t great; given the three shots, bulky and uncomfortable construction, bland attempt at being in-theme, and the price, I’m actually...

When it comes to their blasters, Lanard tends to not have great distribution in the United States. You’ll see things pop up randomly online sometimes, and occasionally see the blasters on shelves in...

Somehow, this review slipped through the cracks…and I couldn’t find the blaster I bought earlier in the summer. Buying another one wasn’t a concern, though. Given what $9 gets you in this blaster (a...

I’ll be honest – I have no idea who at Zuru’s marketing team looked at their blaster line and decided that what it needed most was a unicorn. But they deserve a raise. It’s completely out of place...
