Four Horsemen.

I want to give credit to who posted it first, the 4 sure to be dud blasters of 2016, but I couldn't find the FB post this morning, but it's all I thought of this morning, these are the 4 hoursemen of the Nerfpacolypse.....

Yes yes!  The 2016 Nerf lineup is not all that great.  I see a few promising blasters, a move to make the Sharpfire Blue, Double dealer looks alright as a double barrel pump action clipfed but all the others seem doomed in their own right.

 

Nerf Rival Khaos:

Coop772 said it best when he said that the magazines won't fit anywhere.  It uses a strange 4 chamber 10-12 round system that won't fit around anyones hands and/or anyone pouch. 

Something I thought of The rival Zeus and apollo mags are small and round, this avoids cracks and breakage, but what if your mag is now like....a big clear ABS.....aquarium....  Almost certain to have problems, just look at it...

There is another issue...what if... people knew a full auto mod for the Zeus (like Lord Drac)...and then...came up with a feeding device... that can be tube fed with a blower....that can in fact feed 100's of balls....

Luke Goodman did.  Now if I am a modder....which I am.... and I wanted high rof and unlimited ammo supply, would I fart around with clumsy huge mags....no.... I'de go tubefed....


Nerf Hyperfire:
Once again....I hope for a selective fire Rapidstrike the Size of an Ingram, once again Nerf put up an oversized pile of shit!   Hey, at least it's full auto, but it's weird looking....



...And not only weird looking there is one potentially devastating issue.   Sure it comes wih a 25 round drum, sure I like the grip/trigger/mag release setup,   But it shoots twice as fast as a rapidstrike, no not velocity ROF....

Hey wait?

What happens when we try to do a Voltage mod?   Oh shit?   Is it going to be too fast?.....Yes!

 

 

And we all know Drums don't do well with high RoF's, why the hell give it a drum?

Destine to fail, you now need 2 voltages to mod this and it doesn't come with 1 or even 2  of those cool flat 18's...no thanks!

Nerf Mega Mastodon

Nerf Rotofury, it's a hell of a blaster...10 rounds of slam, handy, decent velocity....but I knew it was only a matter of time till designers at Nerf lost their mind again and built something stooped...

Everyone knows me, big 6 foot tall guy still likes to battle with small pistols that can clear 50-60 yards flat and more.  I like blasters that aiming doesn't take much effort, accurate, and hauling around isn't a chore.... But then they showed us this....



This looks like it weighs 15 pounds, that huge drum must weigh at least 2-3 pounds of plastic and by god, you could throw it into the East river in New York to weigh down a body!  Forget cement shoes!

Lever action could be clumsy, just like some Hail-Fires and lo and behold...somehow...like the Hailfire....the Vulcan and the Rhino Fire....I'll end up with one collecting dust on my shelf. 

Why does everyone think bigger is better?  Longshot, roto fury, stampede, I can understand, but look at the BoP, I know many haven't fired one or seen one in play, but shit! Some times it's the sneaky little guys who win!



My complaint, one complaint and it's a dealbreaker, IT"S TOO BIG!  Rotofury is gonna be way more effective in battle and Cyclone shocks....well there you go, much better...

We have seen 3d printed Rotofury cylinders, Cyclonse shock cylinders, but this cylinder, if someone wanted to waste 10 pounds of ABS plastic filament, IS TOO BIG FOR THE CYLINDER TO POSSIBLY FIT IN A 3D PRINTER!!!!  That limits it's potential right there!

 

lastly...

The Nerf Modulus Tri-Strike:





Firstly, I hate the modulus line, in 2013 it would have been cool, but not 2016 when I mainly shoot X-Darts.  Overly gimicky, some attachments are cool, but the Ionfire is said to have less springs space than a Sharpfire.

....Sharpfire, a blaster I was able to clear 180 fps with....

The Recon MKII with the magbay incompatible with flat 18's and slow out of the box.  Sure they fixed it with new versions, but what if I get stuck with one.  the ECS 10, overpriced Rayven...and now this....

Once again a dodo blaster with neat attachment.  Air powered rocket launcher, I like that, the HAMP rocket launcher shooting a more universal ammo format, Mega darts, cool.

But the bolt action, any place for a shotgun grip?  Like a long barrel extention out of the box? no!

And what is this? like a longstrike?  how well did the longstrike shoot?

Now what would be cool is if this was a Direct Plunger longstrike mech, still it would only do 130 fps max modded.....Like a retaliator...only that you can't use a shotgun grip with...
