I still think the Hammershot is awesome in functionality and it looks the part, but I just can't enjoy it as much as the Strongarm. The Strongarm (even when unmodified) has never given me any grief in this area. I used a Hammershot in a duel at the last Nerf War, and I kept firing by accident because the trigger was so sensitive - literally a hair-thin trigger pull. I get frustrated trying to make sure the hammer goes all the way down, otherwise I get a yucky misfire and a dart pops out. The hammer cocking mechanism is novel and certainly useful for single-hand priming or dual wielding, but it just isn't my cup of tea. But since using the Strongarm which more punch and reliability, the extra dart does help I used to love using 2x Spectres and didn't mind the 5 dart capacity as compared to the Maverick with 6 darts. Tom loves it to bits as his favourite side-arm of choice.
This video review was a good exercise in making shorter videos without going like 10+ mins, so I'll be trying to keep future vids nice, short and concise from now on. Future video reviews will be done on a dedicated account, so when that is up and running you may need to re-subscribe, because a lot more videos will be pumping out this year :P I only just realised I've got two YouTube accounts with S.O.F.T videos split between them. I still think this is a nice summary of the Hammershot (with a funny ending :P) so it was fun to do and worth uploading still I had computer problems in the later part of 2013, which halted review production Yes, I know the Hammershot has been out for a while. Now, a few things I need to mention first before I add my opinion on the Hammershot: Squadron Of Foam Tasmania Review: Nerf Zombie Strike Hammershot Hey Squaddies! Finally I got this video review done: the Hammershot, by co-host Tom!Ĭlick the link below to take you to YouTube: They should have at least added a bit of red to it to make it blend some:
really? This thing looks monstrous and unwieldy! The most annoying thing about it though is the bow arms look like they were stuck on at the last minute. If it was April 1st I would have taken this as a practical joke. *Politely* quoting my friend from work: "It looks like a shotgun mated with a bow!" Since it appears to use the same "Smart Air Restrictor" system as the Rough Cut / Triad / Crossfire bow, it is likely that each subsequent shot from top to bottom is going to lose range. The way it looks like it wants to be held at the grip looks very unbalanced / cumbersome almost stupidly big considering this thing shoots MEGAs The bow arms look REALLY out of place, doesn't match the mid section + First front loading, non-magazine based MEGA blaster + Being able to hold five darts without reloading after each shot is nice on a bow-esque blaster + Looks like proper bow action firing via the top bow arm (the round bit where it meets the mid section) This time, I'll start off with the positives: Just like Arnie from Terminator 2, the truck chase scene, and John Wayne from True Grit, the "one eyed fat man" final fight scene: the Hollywood "spin / flip cock" priming and firing. Now the last thing on my mind about the Slingfire. I'm thinking Rough Cut style cogs and plunger tube system. Many are worried that the design screams reverse plunger, but to me it looks like there is a lot of room between where the trigger is and where the magazine sits. I'm going to take a punt on it being direct plunger. So I feel that the Clip System is a logical choice here. I'm a *tiny bit* disappointed that they didn't try a dart-tube barrel loading / feeding system, but I think it would have compromised ease of use, made the barrel stupidly long (instead of stupidly short.) or would have had Failturion mechanism issues. + Clip System = easy reloading system we all know and love. + It looks really slim, maybe thinner than a Recon or Stryfe even + The trigger is a nice, believable shape and should work well with the lever-action. + The lever-action ring *looks* nice and big and round, unlike the Buzzbee Rapidfire Tek. Now onto the things that I DO like (is "love" too strong a word here?) about the Slingfire: Just being picky the barrel looks like it has some dirt in it, and the jam door is open a bit. I fear that the shoulder stock may be on the short side too - hard to tell from that angle. Is it just me, or does the trigger and barrel look unusually pink-ish? The lever-action priming ring looks flimsy where it connects to the blaster The cloth wrap under the barrel makes me think at one point the proper, bigger barrel was cut off katana style, and someone duct taped whatever they had lying around.
Before I spout out fan-boy drivel though, there are a few downsides to the Slingfire I should get out of the way first:
