The new dart design is what allowed the higher average fps. The design of the head and increase in width spread the force over a slightly larger area, allowing for higher velocity while still meeting the safety standards for 8+. The calibre change does indeed directly affect the chosen fps limit.
Nice review! I really feel like with some more innovation with the darts and blasters this new series has potential. I do have some different thoughts and opinions of Nerf changing thier standard, but they are long and complicated to the point where I need to make a whole video about it
Those who you accuse of being a "lapdog" might have a better understanding of what Hasbro want to achieve, and what they have to do in order to sell products in global markets. They might understand that the core of Nerf users are kids, who have very different expectations to adults and play differently. And of course, they know Hasbro have a "Pro" range, Gelfire and Rival for older audiences. The usual reply is that "Dartzone and Adventure Force can do it", but then, unlike Nerf, neither are readily available outside the USA. DOH! DZ are barely marketed anywhere else, a dozen or so small, independent retailers, limited stocks and no big retail chains. That means expensive international mail order. DZ and AF make up a very small proportion of foam blaster sales.
Wow. That is a very detailed review. Thank you for sharing from the perspective of children. I have enough stock Elite blasters saved up for when my kids are old enough. But let's see if this N series gets better by then.
Yeah I would say besides the low standard deviation, this line seems to have better build quality than the Elite 2.0 line. Keep in mind I've only had my hands on this and the Pinpoint
they have had some real nice looking designs, and i assume they have a lot of money. its too bad they dont try to make it into the 'pro' scene. but hey, i guess this stuff makes them money
From what I've read they are going to continue the pro line but use a different dart than what was included with the stryfe x. My money is on a cut down version of the N1 dart. Thanks for the support
Yeah, not really sure what to think. I have the infinite and its ok. Not great. Seems heavy for an 8 year old. I think the darts are a little more accurate with a higher velocity than these blasters are shooting. I picked up paperskeletons3d's N1 inserts for the AF ranger and those darts are prett amazing in that.
