Nerf Stampede ECS



I decided that I couldn't wait any longer to post a review of Nerf's latest flagship model...

The Stampede ECS.

ADVANTAGES and DISADVANAGES

• Is fully automatic, running on 6 D batteries.
• Is fired by holding down the trigger
• Comes with three 18 dart clips and one 6 dart clip, as well as 60 darts
• Also comes with a removable blast shield and a removable bipod
• Weighs the same as a Vulcan,but is easier to carry due to the fact that the handle is in the middle of the gun, rather than on the end
• Has five tactical rails
• Has a RoF of 3 darts a second
• Has very good battery life, as it does not use drain the batteries if the blaster is left on
• For a battery powered gun has a superb range of 35 feet, compared to the Vulcan, that only fires 25 feet.
• Has a relatively small barrel that leads to greater accuracy
• Usually costs $100, and is $130 at Myer, but can drop to the reasonable price of $70 on a sale.

This gun gets 9/10. In my opinion it is neck on neck with the Alpha Trooper as the best new release of 2010, its main features being it range and rate of fire, coupled with the 18 dart clips that are exclusive to the blaster. My only issue with this blaster is the cost and the lack of single shot capability- sometimes it just goes through the darts a little to quickly. Below is Nerf's commercial upon the release of the blaster.
