Review: Rapid fire it is - Fab Nerf gun! The rapid fire is rapid, easily get through the 18 darts if keep your finger on the trigger or if you press the trigger as and when then you release a dart at a time. The darts go a reasonable distance too. The scope is slightly out though so if using that, you need to 'master' the difference otherwise it's more of a point, shoot, adjust and shoot etc. Easy to reload the darts into the magazine and assemble. It requires a large battery in order to work (doesn't come with one), the motor is a little noisy but if playing with others/outside their sounds will drown the motor and it's only brief too while there are darts. Delivery was quick although the box it came in was a little on the oversized side but it arrived in good condition.
Review: A worthy successor to the Stampede ECM - Stock gun (i.e. with no performance improvements at all): better than mediocre. The rate of fire is around 1.5 darts per second. Range is acceptable for elite nerf guns, but accuracy is very poor owing to a protective flap over the spinning flywheels - note that unlike the Stampede, this IS a flywheel gun, not a plunger system. Gun balance is terrible - the weight of 4 x C-cell batteries in the front makes the gun very front heavy, which younger users may find troublesome. In this aspect, the Stampede ECM was rather better - balance was equally poor, but the weight was at the rear, so that the shoulder could be used, rather than levering down on the arms. Apart from the weight problem, this gun looks and feels *superb*: Nerf have really succeeded with a weapon that conveys the sense of an assault rifle - while *simultaneously* producing a silhouette that is far enough from that of a real firearm that it should not arouse problems in public. I did not use the gun enough before modifying it to check on battery life with C-cells. However, with an upgraded power pack (which should discharge *faster* than C-cells, and probably have a smaller capacity), I have not had to recharge once after several multiple-hour session of use. I would estimate at least 8-10 hours of "combat" should be fine. This is also an excellent base platform for Nerf warriors to improve upon. The accuracy can be dramatically improved by the removal of the translucent rubber safety flap over the flywheels. Due to the low torque of the motors, and low friction of the flywheels, this does not pose any significant safety risks. The rate of fire can be improved by upgrading the battery (I use a 2-cell Li-ion pack, which both dramatically improves available power and reduces the balance problems, due to being lighter), and by some judicious modifications to the internal electronics. Even with a doubled rate of fire, it is quite possible to squeeze off individual darts: you just need a bit of trigger discipline. The need to pick up darts and refill magazines may help teach this to new users!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: where do batteries go?**
A: In front under the barrel.

**Q: where can i buy seperate barrel attachment do i have to buy retaliator?**
A: Your best bet is to keep checking sites like eBay. Unfortunately, there aren't a great deal of UK sites that sell this beyond a marketplace. Alternatively you can check out the Nerf website which has a product search box; after finding a particular product you can choose to get a list of places that sell it.Alternatively-alternatively, you could check out international websites and order them abroad. Be wary of commissions charges, though.

4 batteries size C are required.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Firepower
*by I***B on 9 January 2014*

I have to say after reading reports I was worried about this new Elite Dart Thrower. Sticking mechanism, jamming, returned after a few hours and it going wrong etc. Once out of the box I found this to be slightly true. I had to remove a crew from near the front of the magazine port to allow an internal switch to move freely. This almost totally eliminated the jamming problem and allowed the gun to fire. After that (just because I know what I was looking for) it worked like a charm and never jammed. Shoots like a dream and incredibly fast firing, really batters the opposition. Well recommended, but if you have problems look it up on YouTube first before you send it back.
