Update: Barrel Break at Toys 'R' Us

I recently visited a Toys 'R' Us store and found out some interesting information regarding Nerf. Toys 'R' Us in Knox,VIC are now selling the Nerf N-Strike Barrel Break. Just letting all of you know about this new gun, that has now hit Australian shores. I bought one of these blasters and I like it very much. The blaster is going for $30 AUS. Review is coming soon. NERF! :D

Update: More Nerf Blasters at Toys 'R' Us

I just recently checked out a Toys 'R' Us store and discovered the amount of Nerf Blasters that they were selling. Keep in mind that some of the blasters didn't have a price tag. Also, the price scanners weren't working. I would imagine that most if not all of the guns with no price tag, would go for around the usual retail price. Anyway, here it is! NERF! :D


This is a list of the Nerf Blasters, spotted at Toys 'R' Us:
 
  • Nerf Vulcan - Price: $79.95
  • Nerf Raider (Blue) - Price: $60.00
  • Nerf Attack Unit - Price: $39.95 from $49.95
  • Nerf Element (with attachments) - Price: $35.00

Rumours: Nerf Sonic Series??

Nerf Maverick (Sonic Series)

I saw this post over on Urban Taggers. There have been many fake pictures of the "new series", but this one looks pretty real to me. It's said to be a Sonic version of the Nerf Maverick, but then why is it green?? It actually reminds me of Hulk or TMNT. This gun is also said to be a "Toys R Us" exclusive. Also, the box says "Sonic Series" meaning the their must be some sort of series, involving this Nerf Maverick. I must head down to Toys R Us and have a quick scan of the store and, I suggest you do to. I for one, am quite excited about these blasters, as they would be a great collectors item. Nerf continue to surprise us with new blasters, and new colour schemes.
 NERF! :D

These are some pictures of my very own Nerf Raider. My Raider is modified as i have removed the air restrictors from the blaster. I have also changed the colour of the gun, by changing the shells. This is a fairly new modification. Ranges are between 15-20 meters. NERF!!! :D

Review: Nerf N-Strike Raider CS-35

Gain an ammo advantage against your opponents with this exciting Nerf Gun!

The Nerf Raider CS-35!

This gun is a crowd favourite among Nerf fans, and I can see why. This gun has pretty much same internals of that of a Longstrike, Recon, etc. Some people just say it's a re shelled Recon, but that's not the way I see it. It has many interesting new features that we haven't seen until the release of this gun.

The Raider is a clip-system fed blaster and uses the same plunger system found in most other clip-system guns. It is primed using a front grip that works like the grey slide found on the Recon.

One of the main factors that people buy this gun is the because of the 35-dart drum magazine. The package comes with enough foam darts to fill the magazine. This was the first time that such magazine with these capabilities was released. To have 35 shots at your own disposal before having to reload is a real advantage, in any Nerf war. Also, this is a major plus for any Nerf fans out there. The Raider's 35-shot drum magazine is compatible with any other clip-system blaster (Recon, Longstrike,  Longshot, Deploy). Also, all Nerf clips are compatible with the Raider.

Also, another big plus goes next to this gun with this next new feature. We Nerf fans, have never seen such feature available in any other Nerf gun, that has been released before this gun. Slam Fire. Slam fire is a firing mode that allows the user to fire off darts in quick succession, without having to let go off the trigger. To activate "slam fire mode" : 
  1. Hold down the trigger.
  2. Pump the front grip repeatedly.
This will allow you to shoot a stream of darts at your opponent. Also, the faster that you pump the front grip, the faster you will launch bullets into the air.

The Raider's range is about 10-12 meters, which is similar to the stock ranges of a Recon or Longshot e.t.c.

The Raider is definitely a must-have gun for anyone who has close-quarter Nerf Wars, but it is also a great addition to any Nerf arsenal. With the 35-shot drum magazine, the Raider is a very powerful weapon, and should be approached with caution is any Nerf situation! :P

A few pictures will be up. Some of them will be from SG Nerf and will be labeled. Other pictures will be of my own Raider. It is modified (air restrictor removal) and the shell has been changed. More information about my Raider will be up with pictures. NERF! :D

These are some pictures of the Nerf Raider. Courtesy of SG Nerf. Enjoy!

Welcome to M7 Nerf!!!

Welcome to M7 Nerf, a blog that is dedicated to Nerf, and to the interest of others. This blog will be mainly directed to an audience who show an interest in Nerf Guns. This blog will mainly contain Nerf N-Strike, and Dart Tag Blasters will come up every once in a while. Other toy blaster brands will not be covered in this blog, only Nerf. I only have wars with 3-6 people. I mainly have indoor wars, but I don't mind the occasionally outdoor war. I love Nerf just for the fact that it's fun, and is an enjoyable hobby. On M7 Nerf, their will be reviews of several Nerf Guns, including the guns that I currently own. Also, the modification of certain Nerf Guns will also be included in this blog. But I really just like anything that contains Nerf, and is fun! NERF!!! :D
