Nerf Bigshot

The average shot from the BigShock is 56 FPS (feet per second) as measured by my ProChrono Digital chronograph. If you are wondering if this is a good rating, the Mega Magnus fires the exact same Mega Dart consistently at around 78 FPS. This is a big difference for Mega darts especially, as they can go a great distance. The BigShock can still make the Mega darts whistle across a room, though, just not in the way the Mega Thunder Bow fires it (at 89 feet per second) and can make the darts scream across a field. The Mega Cyclone Shock's shots registered at an averaged 71 FPS, and it shoots 6 darts without having to reload. You can store an extra Mega dart on top of the BigShock, which will help a lot considering how limited space you may have carrying these Mega giant ammo rounds, it just seems silly that they didn't find a way to fit more on top of this blaster. As an update, I have found that you cannot simply take the plunger rod apart because of a fixed plunger head. You can however, add a spring from another blaster (I think I added an extra stock Retaliator spring I had lying around, but I cannot remember; Google a mod guide). Lastly, there is a China-based company called "Worker" that sells an aftermarket caliber conversion insert that will allow you to fire standard Elite Nerf darts (the blue, green, white, orange, and decorated Rebelle darts), however, the accuracy of the shots can be pretty bad due to that excessive pressure and not enough "barrel" to guide it in the desired direction. Therefore, the term "effective range" would come into context, meaning the blaster can shoot darts far but only consistently hit the intended target at closer ranges than what it can reach (i.e. reaching say, 80 feet, but only able to hit the right target within 25 feet away). But my grey-trigger (supposedly weaker Australian-spec) Big Shock blaster now shoots 94 FPS. A jump in power from 56 to 94 FPS is ridiculous, and I like the improvement, but yet the cons of this mod are worth noting: 1.) the effective range is not that great due to the accuracy issues, 2.) the draw weight of the priming handle is considerably harder to pull due to the added spring, and 3.) the price of the insert is about the cost of the Big Shock itself (check EBay) which is in-itself a turn-off. For me it was worth it because it was slap-on power for something I tossed on the side, and now it is fun again. 94 FPS... Lol (to give those who don't know an idea, a stock Retaliator XD is in the 70 FPS range).

Great toy and it works well! Accurate and fun to use!

This is a great blaster.This blaster not only pack's a solid hit, but also can carry a backup dart.I personally love this blaster because you can hear the dart scream through the air, unlike the Magnus or Centurion where you can only here the dart for 1 second due to the blaster noise.It's extremely easy to cock and make's a great sidearm, and it's also just fun to hear the mega dart's scream.Pros:-Extremely affordable-It's easy for kid's to use and is also a fun blaster to mod/paint-You can very easily hear the dart's scream through the air-Makes a great sidearmCons:-Mega darts are very light and big, meaning not only will wind screw up a shot, but the dart's can be squished or damaged easily-In a nerf war, Mega darts aren't as common, so reloading may be a problem-Slightly to big to put in a pocket--

This gun is very accurate and powerful. This gun is commonplace in my office, and once you hear one of these signature red darts whistle through the air, it is soon accompanied by 5+ more whistles, and you know war has been declared. The range on these darts is pretty far, and I can easily shoot someone multiple rows over on our production floor. I also have the Mega Thunder Bow, which is pretty cool. The bow is more powerful, but these Blasters are more accurate.These darts shoot with enough power that someone knows they have been shot, but not hard enough to actually hurt or leave a mark. I don't think I'd like to take one in the eye, but I don't think there'd be any actual damage. A shot to the eye from the ThunderBow may be a different story though

This thing as a great little blaster. The darts whistle as they fly and it has quite the punch for a such a small package. Upon taking the main shell off I discovered this is just a giant Nerf Jolt! Awesome! It's a really fun blaster, my favorite single shot from Nerf so far.

The best way to describe this is as a Mega Jolt.Performance is ok but not great. It's fine as a tertiary weapon in a Nerf war, however not as a reliable sidearm. It can only carry 2 darts, including the one in the barrel.It's easy for anyone to use and may respond well to a spring upgrade.I realised shortly after disposing of the packaging that I had been sent a grey triggered model. The picture clearly depicts an orange trigger and thats the kind I was expecting. Misleading? Mistake? I don't know, but I imagine the blaster would perform better if I'd received the version with the orange trigger.Make sure you confirm matters with the seller before the item ships.

Yeah yeah yeah, I know. It's a Mega blaster. Mega's are all BIG. So, I don't know why, I was hoping it would be a little more inconspicuous to fit in the pocket, to provide for those fantastic office assainations with a big bore nerf dart. But, it's not. But, who cares? I don't. This thing is basically the Jolt on steroids with a slot to hold an extra dart on the top rail, or leave it empty to use it as a sighting dot. Pretty legit. Total palm fit, so even bigger hands can use it without any issues. Kids, however, Idk. But let's be honest, they always manage to find a way for everything, right? You'll be fine. I'd recommend it!

Wife purchased mega darts by mistake...so we needed a blaster to use them! This is an accurate blaster with solid shot. Darts sting at close range. Child loves it. Not too hard to charge.

Muito bom. Tomei um susto com o tamanho, é bem maior que aparenta na imagem. Foi uma boa surpresa

I liked this gun a lot because its a lot of fun to play and power is 😎

ナーフの大きいサイズですので、飛んでいくときも派手です。大きいからと言って安定するというわけでもないですが、見やすくて面白いです。

Pedí esta pistola de dardos por error. En vez de agregarla a la Wishlist apreté "Comprar en 1 click". Sin embargo no pude cancelar el pedido y llegó muy rápido.Al principio tenía intención de devolverla, pero ya teniéndola en manos decidí abrirla y probarla. Poco después estaba con mi familia tirando objetos que pusimos en la sala como "blancos"- Ahora pediré más dardos y tal vez otra pistola porque nos divertimos mucho. Los dardos llegan a una distancia mucho más lejana de lo que esperaba, y el material es seguro y flexible. El impacto es mínimo, incluso siendo más grandes que los dardos normales. La pistola es compacta y ligera comparada con otros modelos. No me lo esperaba..

Muito bom, paguei 30 reais, bem resistente o brinquedo, e atira muito forte.As crianças adoraram.
