As someone who runs current gen worker blasters in anything 130fps+, I dont want creative or gimmicky: I want reliable and easily maintainable/adjustable. To know I can interchange barrels or springs means that I can tweak a blaster during an event without having to sit down at the workbench and spend an evening on it.

[NateBenson-si]

Kunlun’s price is justified because of the full metal internals, especially compared to the Harrier which is filled with plastic internals

[Aralluen]

The kunlun, harrier, and seagull, are all springer blasters with the same design language. But they occupy totally different spaces as blasters, and lets not forget about the nightingale and the phoenix 2.0, which also fill unique rolls. Imo worker is pumping out banger after banger

[jolemaire]

Worker delivers quality each release is an evolution of the previous. They don't do crazy things

[Ciburg]

The old Stampede is the best “assault rifle” style blaster we have ever gotten. Well from Nerf atleast.

[TheAngryNugget]

Nerf should make only Rival blasters because it is their best line.

[chrisconley]

More Wild West, World War 1, and World War 2 style loading and priming would be a lot of fun. The fact there hasn't been an inline lever action or inline bolt action like the Jupiter but with darts is crazy.

[Cerf]

The Spectre is a good blaster that is slept on, it's slimmer and has attatchment points

[Kotekoko_pl]

i think we need more motorised spring blasters like stampede or nerf halo needler

[bigdapramirez]

Hot take: AEG blasters should be banned from games unless everyone is using them. Its just not fair to everyone else and its basically pay to win because of how expensive they are. Benefits of a flywheeler without them hearing you rev up, giving you the stealth of a springer and the fire rate to wreck springer users

[bigdapramirez]

Rival still has a place in the hobby. While it doesn't compete much with half length blasters, it's still great for indoor wars, being more powerful than many full length blasters while not having to worry about damage to things like blinds, walls, and indoor decor like you would with a pro level blaster. Plus the best part is they don't hurt much at close range so they're CQB friendly

[Kamerick_]

I used to run my rush 40 at an indoor arena local to me and for a pistol sized blaster that held 35 rounds comfortably, it was a beast! (Yknow minus the jams and inaccurate shots every now and then) a hop up tab worked for accuracy but hindered more jams…

[raymason]

Rebelle Sweet Revenge is the best hammer action dart blaster to ever hit store shelves

[savagex]

Hot Take: Hasbro intentionally makes every new dart type horribly inaccurate from the get go so they can sell you the newer "accu-strike" version of the dart later on. They did this with mega, then ultra, and now the n1-darts. Create the problem, sell the solution!

[BLANKENGLISH.]

Alia made the best nerf review ever in his “Every Fortnite toy on Amazon” video 7 months ago.

[SodapopperAnimations]

Idk how hot this take is but bradley philips has the best dart and blaster test/review type videos.

[FortyTwoBlades]

I think that we'd do best to develop recommended engagement ranges based on joule rating to be adopted industry/hobby-wide. High power blasters aren't great for bunker-rushing because you end up basically point-blanking people. Other blasters are best suited to indoor "in the house" settings or ranges (a lot of "classic" NERF etc.) Some are best suited to long-range outdoor or gymnasium play. Having established recommended engagement ranges would make it easier for non-hobbyist buyers to be able to tell if using a particular blaster indoors vs. outdoors is gonna' make a kid cry or not, and the settings where they're going to have the best match of power and range.

Sorry bert, but 12 coils of k25 in a rush40 with hopup beats the dictator with spacer...no joke. Get 3rd party red or blue rounds. Try it...trust me. 13 coils in the siege and Lukie Poo can get you a hopup for that. Just be careful the siege does not want to go back together with 13 coils, but you need it. Also range isn't always as good as rush40. Luke's siege hopups can vary. Though I argue, that anything under 75 ft of accurate range is not PRO. Just because a sys is half dart doesn't equal pro. I bought 2 of the vipers and crushed 15 coils of k26 into them. They have upgraded rival range, with more consistency, pro my coc...uh croc.

Oh - sorry, you addressed it. I see you mixed it up with mach100. Whew - you gotta cram 12 coils of k25 in it man. Love it.

[sweetlikechocothai]

6-14 darts per second is effective for most games.

[Bobololo]

Hot takes? Are these hot?? I know some have been said before.

- 3D printed blasters can be cool, but they have almost single handedly stagnated the hobby and have killed off the majority of interesting designs and creativity. Integrations are peak design and infinitely more fun to make and talk about. People have gotten lazy with creativety and taking time to make their own stuff

- Endwar is the lowest tier of HvZ and will never be able to capture the intensity or fun of a 'standard' college HvZ game. I am sad for people who have only experienced Endwar
With that, HvZ story lines are one of the least important aspects compared to objectives and perks. You dont need a "good story" to have a great HvZ game.

- Facebook groups were a major step backwards for the hobby. Forums were better and their archival function was priceless. RIP NerfRev

- koosh is the best full length dart! Better FPS and very good quality overall.

- Doominator and Double Dealer were objectively terrible and no amount of comments saying otherwise changes that!
