Honest review, with full breakdown
I’ll preface my review by saying that each attachment varies on different blasters. I own an abundance of blasters, so it would be unfair to rate them on random blasters as it only resulted in mixed reviews from blaster to blaster.Instead, I decided to rate them based on the most generic blasters that I know of; Stryfe and Retaliator. That way it can give anyone buying an idea based on the design of these two blasters. Onto the review!Smartphone Mount Attachment:It is a fairly small piece but was able to hold my regular-sized iPhone 7 with the case. It feels sturdy enough, has foam to protect from damaging your phone and fits snugly onto the rail. It only pivots at a forward 45-degree angle and doesn’t snap into place so the weight of the phone can motion it back to its default place with enough movement. I personally don’t need it to pivot as the direction it is in (when attached on a side-rail) gets the view of the action.Distance Scope:I don’t have much to say on this one, as it fit snuggly to both blasters well and has nicely centered plastic reticle. However, be warned! I slid it onto my Barrelstrike for fun and it got stuck. I needed to use a fair amount of force to remove it, which could lead to damaging a blaster or the scope.Drop Grip:Have you ever felt a Halloween weapon prop? This sort of has that same plastic feeling. Normally that would be bad, but it honestly doesn’t feel too bad because of the design of the part. Despite fitting snuggly onto the rail, this accessory is the only one that does not have a securing notch to keep it in place; which means you can easily slide it off.Dual-Rail Barrel:This piece is a great idea and looks similar enough to its original, but has some noticeable difference that make it have a nice aesthetic appeal. But, it suffers from bad design which almost makes it unfit for most blasters. The problem lies on two things; the small circular securing notch and the actual rails. The circular notch pokes out a bit too much and isn’t as round as the original design. It attempts to compensate by being able to pressed in, which can work if you press it in, but it doesn’t quite secure. When it does snap into place, as most Nerf accessories do, it sounds odd, not the typical satisfying click you may be used to. Good idea but ultimately poorly designed.Proximity Barrel:My main reason to purchase this bundle, the silencer... errr Proximity Barrel. Unfortunately, this piece was a tad too loose. It was completely loose on my Stryfe and just barely snug on my Retaliator. It’s not totally unusable, but results vary significantly on the blaster you use.Storage Stock (2015):Almost identical to its original with the exception of a few things. It has a white bar in the middle to prevent it from being overly wobbly like the original. It also has a slight reduction in the hump where the attachment point is, so it is more flush with the blaster. My only two problems with this piece was that the storage was too snug for my comfort. I’m sure it won’t damage your mags, but it can be difficult to swap mags quickly because it tends to get stuck. My other problem was with the securing notch, it has two instead of one like the original. Not necessarily a bad thing but the design and the snapping makes me worry that the securing notch can break after extensive use. I advise slide the secure points to attach. I wouldn’t say this is a bad thing, as much as a word of warning. Like most old spring-based blasters, the stock portion sticks out, which won’t work as this accessory only works with blasters that don’t have that piece.Overall:Four-stars! For $20, I can’t complain. None of these parts are unusable to me because I own a plethora of blasters to use them with. I love the idea even if some of their designs were poorly executed. My biggest gripe was the silencer being too loose for the blaster I purchased it with, the Stryfe. Though the other accessories for the most part were good for what I paid. There’s an old saying that goes, “you get what you pay for”. If you expect excellence, pay for the original. If you want decent parts for a reasonable price, get these.I hope Newisland continues making accessories, I can only see them improving and I look forward to purchasing them.

Awesome looks, lower quality in hand/fit
Pretty low quality. I like the muzzle brake (long skinny orange one), which is awesome, the stock, which is decent, and the scope.Minus one star each for the barrel attachment (white one), the phone mount, and the grip.The barrel attachment isn't terrible, but it's not made to spec and fits very few blasters well. I assume it will fit the newisland blasters well? Maybe?The grip is a piece of junk... It feels like the cheap plastic eggs you see at easter. I broke it with my bare hands. Also, it has no indexing notch, so no matter what rail/blaster you put it on, it will not stay in place.Finally, the phone mount snapped in two the first time I tried to put my phone in it. Others have said theirs worked fine, so maybe I got a lemon. Still, not worth the trouble to try to return (China).All in all I'm okay with my purchase, as I bought the kit for the muzzle brake, but really considering most of it is not worth the asking price.I will definitely keep this experience in mind when considering future purchases from New Island Toys. If you're like me and quality is something you consider, just realized what you're getting here, something trying to be yet not quite as good as the original.Thanks for reading

Not very compatible with Nerf
These products are very cool to look at, but aren’t very good. The barrels stick very well to EACHOTHER, but not to nerf guns. The little stub that is supposed to Click in a little indentation on a nerf gun, but it doesn’t fit very well. It makes it so when you move around with it, it clicks out and falls out. Also, the Foregrip does to have a stub that clicks into a tactical rail. Also, there is no riffling barrel inside of the barrels, if you move around, the barrel is way to wide and if the dart moves around and hits the barrel, it bounces around and effects the Dart performance, in other words, when you use the barrels, the darts go everywhere. But the pros are, the stock is a complete copy of the Nerf Modulus one, but it has a big plastic thing that elliminates Floppation. The scope is great, better than the Nerf Modulus Long Range one, its just cooler. Also the iPhone holder is cool and works well. I will use, scope, stock, and the iPhone holder in battles, the rest decrease preformance.

Works almost perfectly.
Stock is sturdy and doesnt flex like nerf, barrel attachements fit but can twist easily but wont because of usual holding of nerf gun, phone clamp works great and I have used with Samsung Galaxy S5, Scope slides on tight and is a bit stiff to remove(may require adult to remove).Now the only problem with this product is the grip has no grip tab like all the other pieces. It slides off without any effort. If holding on to it though it will not slide off or forward as you generally pull back.Everything works as advertised on a modulus ECS10 or anything with a short stock attachment point. Will not work with Recon MK2 or any other nerf gun with the extended stock attachment point.

Pros and cons need to be weighed here broh. Read the review, good stuff broh.
All of these are copycat Nerf Attachments that fit most of the standard Nerf attachment points on Nerf products. The thing is that most have some evolutionary correction or addition over the official Nerf products. The barrels for example, are longer. The shoulder stock has a solid stabilizer piece to prevent flex where the Modulus ECS-10 shoulder stock had it’s downfall. They even have a solid smart-phone attachment part to film the battle with your phone’s video camera. Being cheaper per unit due to the cheaper (and weaker) plastic used, you should expect this to break faster, but they do work and did I mention they are cheaper? But it’s a bulk set. Do you need all of these?
