Nerf has finally gone pro‽ | Stryfe X & Accustrike half-length dart REVIEW

#ad Thank you to Nerf for sponsoring this video!
Nerf has long been a part of my childhood and a part of this hobby. Their N-Strike series established standards for magazines and stocks that are still common at games to this day, and Elite blasters only increased their quality, compatibility, and performance. Likewise, the N-Strike Elite Stryfe continues to be a long-standing staple in foam-flinging loadouts ten years later, and every mag-fed flywheeler since has yet to match the Stryfe without significant compromises.
Flash-forward to today, Hasbro has sponsored us to review and announce the release of Nerf Pro Stryfe X: Their first dedicated half-length blaster modeled after their best-selling flywheeler. With an included rechargeable battery, their own talon-compatible mag, and double its capacity in Accustrike half-length darts, this whole package is full of surprises, and there’s still plenty more to come. Let’s get into it!

From what I’ve heard, hasbro stocks have been suffering in general. Now obviously hobbyist nerf is a pretty small part of that, but nerf is a huge brand for them, and if kids are more interested in pro-level blasters from Dart Zone and even X-shot, that’s a big problem. This feels more like a panicked reaction, not them listening to us or the competition. They literally just recreated a modded stryfe. I fear this might be too little too late. Hopefully I’m wrong though!

@Igzilee 11 ай бұрын

The retaliator would not work that well in my opinion. The whole gimmick was it being able to turn into 'multiple' blasters. Competitive players won't care about the added attachments, so then you would have an ergonomically inferior alpha trooper. The rapidstrike and alpha trooper would be cool but I would much prefer they design new blasters.

@themagitechie9955 11 ай бұрын

This is a game-changer for Nerf and the hobby both and they couldn't have chosen a better first offering for this line. Does this mean they actually learned something from the reaction to the first wave of elite 2.0 and ultra? hopefully this new line will be worth the wait and the heartache.

@flankmaster7505 11 ай бұрын

The Stryfe holds a special place in my heart, it was my first flywheel I rewired before hobby-grade motors were a thing and we were still cutting holes in the side of the shell for Blade 180 helicopter motors. Although I won't personally be using this blaster as I've moved on to brushless, I am really excited to see this come out since more competitive options being available off the shelf will make our hobby more accessible and bring in many new players!

The mag release also just seems like a compromise. I'm assuming its for financial reason. I suspect there is a dedicated, built for half length from scratch blaster coming somewhere in the future. They just seem to have lost a lot of trust in hobby space and I sort of hope nostalgia for the stryfe won't make the hobby forget nor forgive the slap in the face that was elite 2.0

It's definitely nice seeing Nerf finally get into the Pro ring and while I hope part of the intent with the Stryfe, other than the history and popularity, was that it will still be compatible body kits and other components that the community has been using for years, but can't help but think it was simply the cheapest way to do so. Pricing is a bit of a bummer when you consider that the Perses also had a rechargeable battery for $100. What's next for the Pro line will likely get worse in price but maybe we will at least get a Rapidstrike that performs amazing out of the box.

Thanks for the video! I’m curious how these wide dart heads will impact performance in a springer. My guess is they are probably only compatible with flywheel blaster which makes these darts useless in my opinion, so it’s possible that they’ll need a new design if they ever release a springer. Other than that the blaster seems really solid. The price point is way too high though. The 89.99$ Dart zone omnia pro with select fire and picatinny rails is probably a way better deal. This is still a good (and unexpected) start from hasbro!

@ferrariformulaonefan16 I think 90/100 bucks would be a bit more obtainable that way it's closer to the mk3 in price (the other main brand flywheeler)

part of that is definitely the battery, because lipos arent cheap, especially with a charger.

@BeefIngot 11 ай бұрын

This is really interesting ,especially the battery. I hope it starts a trend becuase I have a ton of other hobby projects I could use a decent, easy, high power battery solution is. I really want to see a full review though, because as standard as this format is, as I always say, starting literally right this second, an ads an ad. Even, still, hobbys goin' places.

@skippyb.coyote895 11 ай бұрын

Absolutely wondrous! I love that Nerf is finally getting into the pro grade blaster market, and that for their first blaster they took their most iconic flywheeler and gave it all the upgrades a hobbyist would! I also love that they found a way to make LiPo batteries safe and consumer friendly, that's a huge win. I know I'm buying an Omnia Pro from Dart Zone next week, but I'll be picking up a Stryfe X as well just on principle to tell Nerf that this is what we want to see more of. ^_^

I suspected they were going to start doing this after launching the gel gun lineup. Competition dart blasting is a fairly lucrative hobby, and Nerf should be ashamed for not tapping into the heart of the hobby sooner.

@Newbyrock23 11 ай бұрын

I'm genuinely surprised that NERF decided to embrace the greater market in this way. And in such a fashion. The price point is solid for what it is, as well as the feature set. Really impressive. I haven't bought a NERF product in years. That's about to change.

@pastiesandagstring 11 ай бұрын

I like the blaster. The lipo with the safety features is huge. The risks are the thing that have kept me from switching to them since I’m not an active nerfer. The only thing that I don’t like is that it’s exclusively short dart and the lack of an n strike barrel lug. Would have been nice to have the option to use long darts and be able to put attachments like the chronobarrel on there. Overall though it’s a great blaster for someone who wants solid performance right out of the box and would like a safer battery option.

@Queldonus 11 ай бұрын

Make the switch to short darts. Mod your favorites to take shorts, and you’ll never want to go back

@pastiesandagstring 11 ай бұрын

@@Queldonus springers I’m more much more inclined with this thought. As short darts are pretty much always better. Flywheels you get varied results and I just like things modular really. Perhaps you’re somewhere with younger folks or long darts are just the game choice. I just like having the option to use either.

@jerfsjourneys 11 ай бұрын

This is exactly the reason I never switched to LiPos. I didn't play enough to warrant it and now I'm on an extended hiatus, but between this blaster and the new Dart Zone hammer pistol, I might end that hiatus
