Nerf Review: Nerf Vortex Vigilion

Nerf Review: Nerf Vortex Vigilion

I recently was able to begin working on the vortex part of my collection.  I first traded for the praxis, and second acquired the blaster I am about to review.  The Nerf Vortex Vigilion.

Review: Zuru X-shot Scope

Review: Zuru X-shot Scope

At times, it has included more darts, and two smaller blasters.

Review: Modified X-shot Scope

Review: Modified X-shot Scope

GENERAL INFO:

Mods done: Removed Air Restrictor.  Breach opening.  Stefan compatibility.

Usable darts: Regular sized .05 inch micro darts.  Stefans.  Slugs.

MY IDEAS OF THE BLASTER:

Breach Mod
(Sorry for the bad angle)

What an improvement.  This blaster now faster and further than before.  With a more accurate dart, it should essentially be a sniper rifle.

Using a ½ drill bit, I finally managed to drill out the AR.  (Boy was it hard long) and completed the only internal mod I did.

The other mod, the breach mod, can be seen here:

It greatly reduces the amount of time it takes to load the nerf weapon.

RANGES:

Off Brand Elites – 58 Feet Flat / 90 Feet Angled

Elite Darts – 52 Feet Flat / 72 Feet Angled

ACCURACY:

Because of the power and the air-holes in the darts I am testing with, it doesn’t shoot as straight as I would like.  With more blaster power comes more range, but decreased accuracy.

SPECIAL ITEMS:

Modified aesthetic sniper rifle!

Sincerely,

The Nerf CommenTATER

UPDATED 1/23/18:
The internal modifications I did is not too hard.  Simply take a 1/2 drill bit and drill down until the drill comes out the other side, and the AR comes out.  The AR can be difficult to drill through.

MY IDEAS OF THE BLASTER:

At first, I HATED the front grip design.  After purchasing one, I decided: hey, this isn’t that bad.  I am in the process of selling/getting rid of it, but it is a neat blaster.
The problems with the blaster are that for the slide to be moved back forward, you have to hear a *click* sound.
The other main defect is that the blaster only has 6 shots, due to the shotgun.

The Nerf CommenTATER's take: The Vibranium Strike Blaster -- Voltron modifications anyone?

The Nerf CommenTATER's take: (a.k.a.: a the impression that a blaster gives me.)

N-strike Switchshot EX-1 Mod Guide/Overview

N-strike Switchshot EX-1 Mod Guide/Overview

                Please look at the video.  At 00:00:55 I explain what mods I did, and finish at 00:01:29.

               

The Basic tools required are:

    -   Philips head screwdriver (One that fits the screws and fits down the holes)

    -   Electrical Tape (A ¼ of an inch piece)

    -   Scissors to cut a small bit of electrical tape.
    -  Needle-Nose Pliers (Or drill and a 12 inch drill bit of you are a pro)

Basics of the mod:

1.       Open up ONLY THE TOP PORTION (The part that can be swapped with a Wii Remote)

2.       Unscrew all 4 screws and open the blaster

3.       Separate the barrel, and AR housing from the plunger tube.

4.       Discard the AR and rip off the dart post.  You can hollow out the dart post platform as well, and make it look like the switch shot in the video.

5.       Put everything back together and close up the blaster.

Please view the whole video below, where I go over the steps above and take it a step further.

Remember, I am NOT, I repeat NOT, responsible for anything that may happen to your nerf gun, while following my mod guide.

I hope you enjoy the mod guide, and if you wish to contact with other ideas or have comments, please comment below.

Sincerely,

The Nerf CommenTATER

Loadout 3: Clip System: Defense

Loadout 3: Clip System: Defense

Loadout Name: Mobile Heavy defender

Primary:

Full, Semi-Automatic Nerf blaster, Clip System: Hyperfire (me), Stampede ECS-18, Rapid-strike CS-18, Hail-fire, Rayven, Nerf Cam ECS-12, Stryfe, etc.

(Could use a slam-fire springer)

Alpha Trooper CS-12(18, 6), Raider CS-35, Rampage, etc.

(I really should have pictured the Hyperfire instead)

Secondary:

Something smaller, behind a barrier, you wouldn’t need much.  Hammershot, sweet revenges, and strongarms should do well.  You can go as low as a fire-strike.  You just need time to reload a clip.

Other Weapons:

Any other nerf blasters you wish to put on, but the more carried, the less mobile

Other Equipment:

   1.       Large number of clips.  I have 4 clips (18), and 1 drum (25).

   2.       Large number of darts.  100 darts minimum in my case.  72 for the 18 clips, 25 for the drum, and 3 for the Firestrike.

   3.       Eye Protection – An essential

   4.       (Optional Vest) Mine is modified to hold 4 18 clips without them falling while running, and also a sword in the back, like the original N-strike version.

Purpose

To defend your base and even provide cover fire for teammates going into the fields of battle, and be somewhat mobile.

A Random HvC Game Report -- 10/10/17

A Random HvC Report:

I have been playing nerf games recently.  This is JUST A POST TO INSPIRE TWO THINGS:  

1. Game Styles You may like our style, and want to try it.

2. Blasters You may want a blaster like one of the ones listed.

Magstrike AS-10 vs. Rapid-fire AS-20

Magstrike AS-10 vs. Rapid-fire AS-20

This is a round between Nerf most recent air system blasters.  (Both Discontinued).  The Magstrike is a classic and one of my personal favorites.  Both it and the Rapid-fire are both sci-fi weapons.  Both look cool!  (Continue Reading)

Loadouts: Introduction

     These are some loadout ideas I thought of.  Outback nerf has a similar loadout post type, which inspired me to do this, in fact, a lot of blog is inspired by Outback nerf.  Shout out to outback nerf and how great they are.  This loadout series is MAINLY for inspiration, unless you have exactly what I have:

Nitefinder

     Many moons ago…I got a Nite-finder.  I loved the nitefinder.  At the time, all of the nerf guns that I owned had up to 6 shots total.  (Mavericks, Vigilions, etc.)  This is before I was truly into nerf, although me and my friends would play with nerf every now and then.  My top three favorites were the Vigilion, the Nitefinder, and the Clone Trooper deluxe blaster.  (All of them have since departed my ownership).

Firestrike

     Move up to less than a year ago.  I got a Hyperfire and Strongarm, joined a few wars, and was starting to get the hang of things.  Then I ran into the Firestrike.  I haven’t before said on this blog, but I like a compact, box shaped blaster.  Firestrike is right up my alley, considering I already liked the Nitefinder (Firestrike’s older brother).

This isn’t anything fancy like lipo’s or LED’s, but simple lock removal.  Sometimes, it makes your blaster easier to use.  (Example: Stryfe pressure plates should always be removed.)

Welcome! :)

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:

Welcome to the nerf CommenTATER Blog.  I am the Nerf Commentater.  For a quick intro, I live in the US.  I played nerf with my friends as a kid, but got more heavily into nerf a year or two ago.

I have been inspired by many other nerf blogs:

- Blaster hub
- Urban Taggers
- Outback nerf
- Tactical Tag
and others!

I plan to mainly do:

Blaster and other Nerf Parts reviews (For out-dated blasters most likely)
Blaster Mods

I dabble with game reports as well.  I especially was inspired by Outback Nerf

Anyway, welcome, to the Nerf Single-Shot Workshop
