WORST NERF BLASTERS OF 2021!

There's been a lot of NERF guns released in 2021, but unfortunately this year it feels like more than ever there's too much trash and not enough good or great picks. From all the blaster tie-ins with other IPs like Roblox and Minecraft, to the abysmal showing by BuzzBee this year: I pick out the NERF blasters I hated the most in 2021.

There's an audio issue from 7:15 to 7:34 where two clips got overlapped and I didn't notice it. It doesn't seem like it's worth re-uploading the entire video because of that.

I have one more video coming, what I think is wrong and how I hope it gets fixed, so stay tuned for that one. I'll have a, "wish list" from each company!

I don't think the "It's for kids" argument is still valid with these prices. There is rarely a Nerf blaster that is priced for pocket money and if those blasters are supposed to be paid for by adults then adults should review them objectively as nothing is more disappointing that buying a present that sucks after 5 minutes. Thanks for your work and have a great New Year.

The audio “issue” made me laugh my ass off. It was like hearing Walcom argue with himself.

[tylerdavis]

as someone who owns a villinator, it is also ridiculously easy to mod, reload with practice and crazy cheap for how durable an strong it is

[figuelacabra]

I find it hilarious how the villainator practically invalidates half of the primary class springers ever made

[hebonky]

Unironically the fortnite sg is a really good blunderbuss I put a mega dart in the breach, then I load in about 4-5 darts and it fires in a nice shotgun pattern.

I said it before and Ill say it again. Prop wise you can scratch build the mando blaster for 20-30$ give or take. Not only would it be more accurate, you can hide so much crap with a decent paint job. As for the "weathering" yeah... take a look at the War for Cybertron transformers line. Hasbro has zero concept on how weathering works so they just randomly spray silver and call it good enough.

[SmartToasterK]

Coming from a big Minecraft geek, I’m still processing what the heck that crossbow looks like. Granted, sure the dragon blaster looks cool and I kind of like the Ghast blaster looks, but Hasbro could have made some blasters with SO MUCH more oomph to them, SUCH AS: Obviously a better crossbow blaster, a rocket blaster themed after a red stone TNT cannon (or firework cannon), a better Ghast (or Enderdragon) blaster that shoots lava or purple colored rival rounds, and even a bow and arrow that at least can function moderately well at a cheaper price.

Nothing feels worse than getting a ‘fun’ gun home only for your kid to find out it sucks or doesn’t work well. These reviews are good for hobbyists and folks shopping for kids. I’m still learning what is good and what is garbage

[homelee]

Some very valid points here. Especially on the brand tie-ins. IMO, tie-ins need to be meaningful for both brands, not just cranked out at random. The Roblox stuff basically has no reason to exist. Halo and ForkKnife make sense as weapon-based games, but I feel that there is oversaturation of their respective markets though.

Your review on the Mandalorian blaster is correct, it looks awful, is impractical and ludicrously overpriced and in the series it got destroyed.

Blind indeed... Or those must be some really rose glasses. This entire segment about how inarguably tragic the Mandalorian blaster was is kind of beautiful.

[ofearghailthefearless]

The Tetrashot should've been made as a shotgun blaster which when I saw the blaster the first time, I immediately thought it was going to be a shotgun blaster that fires multiple darts but boy was I wrong and that was such a major bummer. Also, I'm a big fan of The Mandalorian and I absolutely hate the blaster rifle

[eggsarny]

NERF LMTD is basically just NFTs and the cheap repaints are us screenshotting them. I understand why you're angry about the Mando blaster

[Anubyss]

I disagree with the Helix, sure the ergs are a bit different, however I have never had any problems with feeding and the gun itself is actually pretty powerful. Nevertheless, I was disappointed to not see a Walcom vid on it.

[orangethesaberguy]

I for one would LOVE to see a good Terraria x Nerf collab. Full-auto Megashark? YES PLEASE. Quad-Barrel Shotty? S.D.M.G? Heck, they could even be Rival because the bullets ingame are Musketballs. There's so much wacky variation and you could do SO MUCH

[jaide]

I like the helix. Mind you, I don't have one, but as far as I know we haven't seen a hopper fed springer before in the rival line, so to have that option out there is great in my book, even if I'd prefer a magazine.

[blobfishiant]

Tbh I think the helix is more or less an upgrade to the Artemis. Idk if I got lucky or whatever but I don’t find the feeding to be inconsistent in the slightest, and hoppers are way more convenient than internal mags imo

26:19 My favorite bit, and it's unfortunately true.

The frustrating thing is anytime you bring up the fact that most Lego sets are licensed now, people deny it and say there's still lots of original stuff. City/Friends, Ninjago and Creator are really all that's left. Technic is mostly licensed, real world vehicles now, most Ideas sets are licensed, and some newer City sets have NASA branding instead of the classic space logo. It's a shame because there used to so much originality: Exo-Force, Bionicle, Elves, Agents, etc. Now we have Speed Champions, Mario, and Super Heroes, yawn.

Anyways... this was a Nerf video, right?
