Honest Review: Nerf Elite BowStrike (Nerf's Smallest 'Crossbow' Yet)

___________________________________________________
A really fun little blaster, the bowstrike integrates some lightweight bow arms and a reticle into its priming action. This makes it a fun gimmicky sidearm that fits into the proper price point.

"I can't talk it's cold." that excuse doe

With being advertised as an N-Strike blaster, I think it looks amazing I like the bow arms gimmick and when you prime the blaster a sight pops out I think that is nice

mod guide, mod guide, mod guide, MOD GUIDE!!! *starts chanting at computer, mom walkings in*, what are you doing?

[mootroidXproductions]

That bow function has huge aesthetic modding potential. I'd love to see a simulated sci-fi blaster charging kind of deal.

[djangoWier]

yeah mod guide please. i am interested in the internals in this little pistol. great review video :)

[Nintenja]

A mod guide to beef up the shot a bit and maybe add a "cosmetic string" would be kinda cool.

It's a fun little blaster. Reminds me of Bond's PP7 when folded (the size and shape). Not sure what can be modded on the inside. The spring is a bit small (but surprisingly meaty). Only thing maybe is to set the compression a little bit with some hot glue or another method.

You can take out the post easily along with the AR (but I put the AR back in because it looked liked the darts fishtailed a bit with out it). In the end maybe just a paint job if you were so inclined to change it up.

These comments... Love it Drac! I would like to see a mod on this without messing up the mechanism for it to deploy the arms and aiming! :3

Looks like it would make a nice front grip under a real blaster.

When i was in the store with my son it was hard to choose between the glowshot and the bowstrike. But because of the looks, the bowstrike won. Back at the house it sucked. The primebar was already bent out of shape strait out the box, prime was pretty heavy, and the bow arm mechanism failed from time to time. We returned it to the store and the my son picked the glowshot because that had less parts that could break. Pretty sensible for a six year old kid.

This gun is so cool with its bow arms and scope flip up feature

[spudd]

that is pretty good. like the way the bow arms come out and iron sight

All these nerf guns I'm discovering now after I already gave my parents my Christmas list

[Badger_and_Hive_Homebrew]

Very cool larp potential. Steampunk paint job would be sweet with that gun. Brass looking bow arms and sight

[goateedave]

Rather than a modguide I'd love to see a Hydrodip done on it. Something could be really interesting with the "bow" arms

[bebakerus]

This was a great one for my son. He was 6 or 7 when he got it. Easy for him to prime and shoot.

[gundealeroftheth]

You should totally do a mod guide. I would love to see how the bow arms work!

[TaelweaverVictorious]

I think with some modding, the bow wings could be remade as batwings, perfect for your style :)

[ThaatGurlyyGamaar]

much better than the glowshot and snapfire. at least it has a creative design. its really fancy i love it!
