Nerf Alpha Trooper CS-18



Yesterday I got an Alpha Trooper, and after a day of use I have had enough experience with it to write a review.

ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES

• Comes with an 18 dart mini drum, though it holds 21 darts, which is a lot smaller than the drum that comes with the Raider
• Is a relatively small gun, about 60 cm long, and weighing just over a kilogram
• Is usually called a cross between the Recon and the Raider, because of its similar appearance and the use of a drum
• Can hold a stock, and though some people have reported that the Recon's stock is flimsy on the gun I have no problems with it. It has also been said the the Spectre's stock is perfect on the gun, though I have been unable to test this.
• The fire the gun the slam fire handle must be as close to the front of the blaster as it can go
• Like a Raider, it is capable of both single fire and slam fire.
• On single fire you pull the slam fire handle back and forth and press the trigger to release one dart
• On slam fire you hold down the trigger while sliding the slam fire handle pack and forth to release a stream of darts
• On single fire the RoF is about 2 darts a second, and on slam fire the RoF is about 5 darts a second
• Unlike the Raider, which is well known for its jamming problems, the Alpha Trooper has not jammed once during slam fire when I have used it.
• It is only $23 AUS

This gun is awesome. The range is fantastic, the RoF is magnificent, and the only thing that bothers me about this gun is its occasional inaccuracy; if the gun is not straight the bullets can go anywhere.

This gun gets 9/10. The only thing that stops this gun from getting a perfect score is that I have no idea about the durability of this Nerf gun.
