Hasbro just casually drops a stunning new Hammershot with a solid FPS, gives it a cool name, but puts it in the 2.0 line?! Gah - I hope it's mod-able without having to break plastic - The shell has a great sci-fi aesthetic.
I honestly feel like the trailblazer might be one of the fan favourite blasters because of the practicality of an 8 shot maybe holdsterable hammer blaster and it’s striking good looks
@@tomerz99 elite 2.0 has been really bad so far and with the elite 2.0 name carries corner cuts and the blasters not having screws thus being not modable without being broken apart
One of the weirder things about Elite 2.0 is they keep giving us rails on the bottom of blasters but we haven't had anything to put on them. No foregrips, no tactical lights, no dart holders. I get that we've already got a bunch of options from previous blaster lines but Elite 2.0 was initially marketed as a Modulus successor. Trailblazer looks great, Prospect is a pass when there are better 4-shot pistol options, and the Tetrad commits the inexcusable sin of being a primary or secondary style blaster with the capacity of a sidearm.
Something Coop didn't mention about the Trailblazer: when you manually rotate the cylinder to load it moves two barrels at a time. IDK of that makes it easier to load but I like it.
The Trailblazer is definitively my favorite Nerf Blaster ever produced. I have never genuinely enjoyed a Foam Flinger the way I do the Trailblazer. NOT a fan of the cylinder being completely internal; but the power, the action, it's just fantastic. Also, the mechanism is almost entirely self-contained within the chassis, making disassembly for customization & painting seamless for an inexperienced person (like me).
Thing about the Trailblazer is that I actually can't one hand prime it without adjusting my grip. The ergonomics of it are much further apart than the Hammershot. Hopefully someone makes a longer hammer for it so I can, because I really like the design with 8 shots.
@@khorehmandirani Maybe? I've put the 2 side-by-side, and the Trailblazer is definitely longer in that regard. It's weird given the tiny handle for a grip. You almost don't even know who this blaster was made for.
@@Theonetruefinalboss All the blasters in this video look ergonomically weird as hell. It's catering to a person which might not exist yet: a person with small hands but enough strength to use proper blasters. If you see the oversized Quadrot reskin, the stock is very weird, even for youngsters.
@@khorehmandirani The Trailblazer is definitely the best one, but it's gonna need 3rd party stuff to be really good. A snap-over grip like he said, and an extended hammer, and it would be great. Coop said they finally made something good, but I still think it's an ergonomic nightmare.
Trailblazer is now on my list for modding, provided that I could remove the cover. Otherwise, great addition to my daughter's Hammershot which I painted it purple years ago. Very futuristic look, but 8 shots just sold me there.
Size wise, looks like the propects and tetrad are really aimed toward very young nerfer. Trailblazer is a nice upgrade, 8 shots in a compact form factor is nice.
I am so glad I got two of the trailblazer. It doesn’t suck like most of elite 2.0, it’s a hammer action which is good because I missed out on the hammershot, and it’s really good.
I actually have a trailblazer myself, and even though he was saying there is no slam fire there actually is, if you hold down the trigger and put the palm of your hand where your pinky is on the hammer pulling all the way down and then sliding your hand back towards your wrist. All you would need to do is just get better and get a little faster at it.
I got a kick out of Coop pulling in the Quadrot instead of simply comparing the two blasters he's actively reviewing. Which are both Quadrots. Also, Persuader is best.
For the trailblazer, cut the long barrel and the peg connecting the cylinder up front, upgrade the spring(If you can cuz it's elite 2.0) And you have a somewhat better hammershot
Its probably another hit from wizards, they keep giving players fatigue and trying to ush into all digital events when people still want to collect physical cards and play without internet.
Thing is, it’s definitely longer than the Hammershot, but the shape is such that I *can* make a belt holster for it that doesn’t look or wear too unwieldy.
All three of these seem like they're so close to being top tier basic elementary blasters of the decade but just slightly miss the mark. The Trailblazer's the closest, but I never like having huge chunks of functionless plastic up at the front, especially since it gets in the way of loading. The Prospect would be totally fine if it was essentially just a Quadrot re-shell with the scope being removable! And the Tetrad would've been a functional 'basically the same thing, but pump action instead of rear handle. I continue to think that Alpha Strike shouldn't exist and they should focus on making Elite 2.0 as efficient, simple, and refined as possible. Use your economy of scale, people! You're the biggest company on the market, you should be able to make fantastic stuff at lower price points than the competition who's having to keep reinventing the wheel!
liking having huge chunks of plastics on front of blasters is subjective . Most people love it . There were many hammershot mods where a front muzzle is attached.
New Elite 2.0 is a lot more promising. More screws in the shells, working parts without a revision and just generally cool designs. I love the Prospect especially, and the Trailblazer is sick for hammer-action folks. By the way, have you ever heard of the SPAMF by Gavinfuzzy? Turns your FalconFire into a short dart magfed.
Hey @Coop772 I have 1 suggestion and 1 praise for your reviews My suggestion is that when you do the FPS results can you show us the range of the velocity? This is particularly useful for smart AR blasters / so we can see which type of ammo is the most consistent in certain blasters My praise is that you’ve been putting your product source disclosure in all of your video descriptions for over the past year and I appreciate that transparency. It’s something overlooked but adds to the already high integrity and quality of your reviews Stay tacticool dude bro!
Personal opinions: - Trailblazer: actually something interesting for once, gg Hasbro. The grip would be a bit small for me, and imo there's too much plastic in front of the cylinder, but it's still a solid pick. - Prospect: it's just a worse Quadrot, or a better Fang/Claw. Glass half full, half empty. - Tetrad: just a waste of space, personally. And I don't work for Nerf ofc but I feel like adding a stock attachment point would be cheaper than a molded stock.
something coop may not have notice (or my trailblazer is just weird) is that it can actually slamfire in a sense. you really just have to hold down the trigger, pull the hammer down, and then lower your finger off the hammer so that it springs back up.
This guy always brings 2010 back to us with every video. Oh also ive noticed that lot of people found several manufacture error for the trail blazer. Given that it is a recommended buy, might be a good idea to make a video about what to check before buying one. Thanks in advance
You can can cycle the barrel with one hand by "depriming" it (hold the hammer down while primed the press the trigger and let the hammer slide up) and then priming it again until you get to a barrel with a dart.
I really like Tetrad. It has very stylish design. It's not comforbable to aiming, but IHMO it's surprising handy and comfortable for shooting from the hip. Blaster for close encounters.
I’m only just rediscovering a love for nerf and this community but having been a lifelong D&D and MTG player I instantly feel kinship over annoyance at Hasbro lol
I like the hammershot but I don’t like the apocalyptic aesthetic and the orange color, seeing as blue is my favorite. I always meant to paint mine but never had the time. The trailblazer with it’s sci-fi look and blue color is just perfect. Definitely gonna pick up a couple of it.
I love how he finishes the review of the prospect and the Tetrad BOTH with "That is an external overview of the prospect" probably not on purpose, but they're kinda the same blaster and i think that's hilarious xD
I got a couple of Trailblazers. The grip was annoyingly small, but I wrapped some fabric around them and held that in place with rubber bands, and now the grip is pretty comfy. Oddly, mine are shooting stock at 80fps. No idea as to why
the trailblazer is cool but the barrel is too long by about an inch and a half but other than that its cool, maybe the cylinder could be pushed back about 15mm so it looks more like a traditional revolver but cool in general
Absolutely in love with the Trailblazer. If I get one and I'm feeling confident I'd like to paint it like Chamber's Headhunter from valorant but I'm not sure if I will.
Fun fact, the trailblazer doesn’t have slamfire, but you can fan the hammer! It’s inconsistent and impractical, but I did just try it out and loled when it actually worked.
I think the Tetrad looks so cool. I want to see a mod kit to swap the internals to flywheel and run full auto with short darts, it would be so cool as an SMG.
Coop772: It's impressive that they got an 8 shot capacity out of this given the width of the blaster Nerf Alpha Hammerstorm: Have you forgotten about me?
1:50, Unless my unit is defective the Trailblazer does have "slamfire". If i hold down the trigger, pull back on the hammer and let it go the blaster does shoot.
The Tetrad is like putting a stock on a single-stack handgun, giving it to vehicle crews, and going "you guys are now capable of defending yourselves from any potential threat"
Literally saw the new hammer action in the store earlier today and thought about grabbing it but decided I better wait to see what Coop has to say. Looks like I'll be picking it up next time.
Bought the Tetrad yesterday. I personally think is a fun blaster to plink with. Plus it looks like a cool tactical shotgun and it pairs nicely with the Eaglepoint Scope
I first saw these in stores before the video and my first impression was disgust. I instantly knew that these were just the alphastrike blasters but with actual shells. Hasbro seriously should get their act together if they want to keep their audience, cause soon everyone will realize how much better adventure force, and community made blasters are, even within the gimmicky commercial space.
Idea:the ultimate weapon Regulator with the infinite barrel extenision, titan magazine, mediator stock, tri strike mega barrel at the end of infinite one, on all of the regulator tactical rail the ultimate demolisher pack adapter, at the left upper one shield at the right left tri strike rocket launcher, at the bottom right flashlight(the custom great one), and at the bottom left extra magazine 10 holder
