Official Announcement:


Official Announcement:

I kind of hinted before that I sell nerf blasters, but I now want to openly announce that I sell nerf blasters.  If you are interested in purchasing any, a link is providing to Basement Brigades eBay store.  I sell blasters and such under the nerf section.
Wanted to let you know in case you were interested.
Also, I have been thinking about how I want to structure things in my blog.  I know I want to stick with modifications, modified blaster reviews, and some reviews, but I don’t have enough time / money / permission to review a lot of brand new blasters.  However, my reviews are rather popular.  I may start talking more about modification relevancy, but I want YOUR opinion.  After all, you guys, the readers, are who I write this for.  Should I post more videos?  Mods? Or reviews?  Please let me know in the comment’s below.  Let me know in the comment section below.  Feedback is appreciated and thank you in advance!

Nerf Review: Modified Nerf Mega Cycloneshock


Nerf Review: Modified Nerf Mega Cycloneshock

GENERAL INFO:
Modifications: AR Removal, Dart Post Removal, Trigger Lock Removal.

MY IDEAS OF THE BLASTER:
Modified Cycloneshock for sale as of: 3/22/18
This blaster had a problem with varying ranges, so I decided I would take out the AR, as that is what was causing the problem.  Unfortunately, it means dryfiring is dangerous, but at least the blaster fires more consistantly now.  Good darts fire somewhere around 45-55 feet.  Not as good darts still fire around 30-35 feet.

Not much more power was achieved from this mod.  I need an upgraded spring to do so.

RANGES:
50 feet flat on average.  Angled shots were not recorded.

ACCURACY:
Just what you might expect from a mega blaster…terrible.

Come soon mega accustrike…come soon.

Blast from the Past Nerf Review: Nerf Vortex Nitron


Blast from the Past Nerf Review: Nerf Vortex Nitron

GENERAL INFO:
Included 1 scope, 20 round clips, and 20 XLR Discs.

MY IDEAS OF THE BLASTER:
While a lot of fun, this blaster is probably on the lower end of the vortex line and was the only vortex blaster to not receive a recolor/re-shell.  It was not popular then, but of the two I owned, I sold them within hours of listing them.

These used to fetch a pretty penny, but now are only about 25 dollars USD complete.  30 dollars USD if you are lucky with the scope and all 20 discs.

One important note is that the blaster only likes stock style ammunition.  The off-brand ammunition with a raised middle section do not work at all and will only create stress on the blaster.

The RoF is less than stellar.  About 1 to 1.5 darts per second.  With all these cons, you may think it is a terrible blaster.  Never fear.  With stock ammunition and good batteries, this blaster has 2 redeeming features.

RANGES:
45 feet flat, 40 feet usable range to get a good shot.
Best angled shots can get 47-50 feet with 45 feet usable range.

4 batteries were slightly used, and 2 were used more before the other four.  Theoretically, this “might” have lived up to the 60 feet range claims.

ACCURACY:
This was the kicker.  Most vortex blasters suffer the “curve curse.”  This one, when fired flat, does not suffer from that “curve curse.”  At about 35 feet, I hit the target I was aiming for.  The target was about 6 inches, so a human hit is guaranteed.

SPECIAL ITEMS:
 20 round full auto blasting.

This is a decent blaster in my honest opinion.  Stock war practical too!  (Apart from rev time.)  Decent range, accuracy, and capacity.

Blast from the Past Review: Nerf Rival Apollo XV-700

Nerf Review: Nerf Rival Apollo XV-700

This is starting the "Blast from the Past" series.  Blast from the Past blasters are older, outdated blasters.  More recent blasters will be posted under "Modern Review"

Yeah, it's old and outclassed, but I am going to review it anyways as it was a cheap startup option with varying ammunition capacity.
