Nerf SurgeFire Elite Blaster -- 15-Dart Rotating Drum, Slam Fire, Includes 15 Official Nerf Elite Darts -- For Kids, Teens, Adults (Amazon Exclusive)

I think is one of the best designed Nerf guns. It has a high capacity, shoots accurately, and jams less than other guns. It is quick and easy to reload, as nothing needs to be opened or disassembled, and doesn't require batteries. The surge fire mechanism works really well, making it very easy to fire off multiple rounds quickly. This gun is fun too because it has a very distinctive "pop" sound. Most Nerf guns make a sound that is sort of like a plasticky "clack", but this one is more of a throaty "pop", and it is very satisfying. It seems to shoot the darts harder than some of my other guns. All the ways in which this is a superior weapon is quite remarkable. Great design, great functionality, very impressed.

I am 49 and my son is 12 and I bought one for each of us. We still love to shoot these things. Product is easy to put together (1 step) and easy to load. It is easy to fire and no cocking after every shot. Gun seems pretty durable. My son thinks old mom is pretty cool for rolling around and firing fake weapons with him. Make some fun memories with your kid!

I loved this gun. We had a weekend geek retreat with several nerf battles around the campground. This pump action gun outperformed all of the battery operated guns that were brought along. While it would have been nice to have a larger magazine, being able to shoot off 15 darts in rapid succession was effective as well as satisfying. I would definitely buy another of these guns or one very much like it.

The nerf surgefire is one of the better stock blasters I have encountered in the last few years. I initially ordered this with plans to modify it both internally and externally. Much to my surprise I found the blaster to have plenty of power even in it's stock form (a pleasant surprise as the only upgrade so far on the market is a spring). The blaster is remarkably sturdy in it's stock form and has yet to miss fire. Holding it is a bit awkward unless you have average or smaller hands. A side note for those looking to do external mods on this blaster: It took several hours to prep the odd shaped surfaces of the blaster and dissassembly/reassembly are a bit of a task in comparison to more commonly modded blasters. Likely won't be doing another unless specifically commissioned to.

I love this fun, affordable toy. Yes it takes some time to reload but it is worth every shot. But if your not strong enough or inexperienced you might not get out every shot, so please do not blame the gun. Also the feeling of lighting up your freinds is great, the darts fly strait and the reload is easy and fast. I would definitly recomend this product.

My 7 year old has several of these - these guns by far have worked better, had less jams, and are easier to reload than other nerf guns he owns. These have 15 rounds and are easy to use. They are a family favorite for our nerf battles. As a mom, this is my favorite nerf gun.

The product is great so far (opened today). It arrived in the original packaging (not in an Amazon box, even though the webpage states it was sold by and shipped from Amazon), so the birthday boy knew what he was getting for his birthday because he found it at the door. So, if your order is a surprise for someone in your household, be aware! We thought a piece was missing when we opened it on his birthday. I called Hasbro and they were great and prepared to send out a replacement immediately. Then, we figured out the piece was under a piece of cardboard at the bottom of the box. So, no missing pieces. We did discover that Hasbro's customer service is great (especially Veronica :o)!

My initial thought about this blaster was that it was in desperate need of a shoulder stock, just like the Nerf Mega Rotofury which it shares design cues with. Both the Rotofury and this Surgefire designs seem incomplete to me. Not only are they missing the stock attachment point in the back (like I am accustomed to seeing on other Nerf blasters), but they do not have anything at all, like the designers didn't bother finishing drawing up the designs and just left a blank space. Upon opening the box I found the drum needed to be installed before operation was possible. I also noticed that if I were to install it, the drum was not able to be removed. This was unfortunate since the X-Shot Turbo Advance (a competing blaster from another toy company) has that function. After installing the drum I fired the 15 darts it came with through my ProChrono Digital chronograph, which measured the speed of the darts fired by this stock Surgefire blaster at an average of 70 feet per second (FPS) using Nerf Elite darts (it is capable of shooting any standard Nerf Elite darts; blue, green, white, orange, purple/grey, Starwars themed, Accustrike, and decorated Rebelle darts). The standard average velocity of a Nerf Elite blaster is 70 FPS, so this is right on par with the other Elite blasters. If anyone cared to notice, the rotating mechanism rotates backwards. Most drums rotate from left to right (clockwise), so feeding darts in the Surgefire needs to be done backwards during a Nerf War; darts need to be inserted on the right side of the blaster in order to be fired next (which only left-handed Nerfers will be able to appreciate). This is possible a design error, since the shell design hints the loading space was planned for the left side (it is located on the left side! Yes Nerf Engineers, I notice these things. You screwed up). Then I tried using it’s slam-fire function (holding the trigger down and rapidly pumping the priming handle to shoot one dart per pump). It seemed unrefined for some reason; three darts were still in the drum. I find this to be perplexing since the Rotofury did not have this issue. The Surgefire’s 15-dart drum does not seem any larger than the Rotofury’s 10-Mega dart drum was, but it is perhaps more dense or heavier. The rotating mechanism responsible for securing the drum while it advances seems to skip a chamber every now and again during slam-fire, since it cannot keep up. This is likely because it is simply not strong enough to control the heft of the drum. You would expect the Nerf engineers to have figured that out before it was up for sale, but alas, product testers must be hard to come by nowadays. This is starting to become a reoccurring theme for Nerf (just like the flaws from the Recon MK2), or at least more so than I had come to expect from Hasbro anyway. Speaking of flawed, I also found loading the darts to be irritating as well because you have to press significantly hard to manually turn the cylinder in order to fit all 15 darts in place, and it clicks loudly per cylinder segment turned, and sounds almost like you are breaking it (the directions say to turn the turret manually to load the ammo, so whatever). Perhaps the engineers figured that if the mechanism was any stronger, fully loading the drum would be impossible without having to fire it. I don’t know. Anyway, moving on... The front [slightly angled] pump-grip priming handle looks to be placed further away from the front of the blaster, and it does not feel awkward like the Rotofury’s finger-smashing pump grip (using it required some attention to avoid hitting your hand on it or smashing your thumb because it is also too close to the rotating mechanism, so, no smashed fingers with the Surgefire). The ergonomics are okay. Maybe the pistol-grip handle is a bit on the stubby side, which makes putting a sling on the sling-mount irritating since the hole is in the middle of the already short handle. The other 2 sling mounts are down the sight lines on the top of the blaster (one above the barrel and another just behind the drum). The trigger-pull feels squishy to me, it’s not a bad thing, but the return spring used must be stronger than the average, or something (I admit that at this point I am just being nit-picky). The word “ELITE” is uniquely visible in blue on both sides of the blaster above the pistol grip. This is possible because of the overlapping shell pieces of different colors (black plastic with letter slots over the blue main shell body panels). One more area of concern is the trend of recent Nerf blasters to have aesthetic design cues of slotted “holes” in it’s shell. This is a problem as far as inviting dirt or sand to come rattling around in your blaster, hopefully not jamming or sticking to your internal lubricated moving parts. In conclusion, This blaster has the cool look of a grenade launcher just like it’s Mega cousin the Rotofury, but I think the Surgefire’s 15 dart capacity could easily have been 20-30 darts because it has more than enough space to fit all of it in. Releasing blasters with lower dart capacities may be a sales strategy of some kind, but I am not seeing it. The X-Shot Turbo Advance is a superior blaster in almost every way, even in Darts Per Second (DPS) despite not having the Slam-fire function (that the Surgefire fails in due to it’s skipping problem). The Turbo Advance also has a 40-dart easy-access removable drum. I foresee the competition winning the market sales here. Maybe this will get Hasbro’s attention, maybe not? The only saving grace the Surgefire has is it’s 70 FPS average dart velocity, which I suppose is great, just as long as you prime it gingerly during a firefight. Come to think of it, the name “Surgefire” doesn’t quite fit, does it? It should be the “GingerlyFire.”

I gave this as a gift to my son who was confined to his apartment in Singapore. He and his friend said the nerf guns worked great.

El pedido llego en perfecto estado. Esta Nerf es bastante divertida, tiene un modo semiautomatico que te permite disparar muy rápido. El precio fue bastante bueno.

Looks wise exactly like in picture. Made in India engraved stamp on the plastic. The rotating drum comes seperate that you have to fix in the gun (which is very easy). Once it is fix you can't put gun again in the box. So if you are planning to gift it, keep this in mind. Gun is study. Gets stuck on and off, but it's ok. Don't take it if child is less than 7 yrs (recommended on box is 8+) bcz it needs considerable force to pull the front piston. Just manageable by 7 yrs old and more comfortably by 8+. But I think it would be very difficult for <6 yr. Accuracy of aim is ok.. not great. Even if the bullets are soft they leave small dent mark on paint if shoot from very near. So avoid firing on wall from close distance. Firing on body is strict NO. 15 bullets loading is quite good bcz you don't have to laod again and again, but some bullets slots are in the hidden part of drum and then you have to rotate it manually to load. Once loaded it's fun for next 15 shots. Overall definitely a good gun to have.

Thank you
