I don't care much for this weapon. I'm also not the most open-loadout guy either, I like to keep to the general things that work and that's it. this gun is good. do not think that I don't suggest this, but I will nitpick at this gun. although the gun is short for a good useage in a CQB environment, the cocking mechanism (located on the back of the gun) is unweildly to use and impossible to cock while the gun is at your shoulder. the rotating barrel is compatible with almost any other dart EXCEPT the streamline darts (which are hte only darts i carry). I've never cared for the rotating barrels, because they make it difficult at best to reload in a combat situation. the dart holders on the back of the gun are a good addition and do make up (somewhat) for the lack of a clip system.the lights... COMPLETELY USELESS unless you are trying to draw attention to yourself while in a dark room.
the Firefly Rev-8 is a suitable weapon for both long distances and for close encounters. despite being difficult to cock while in a combat situation, this weapon is a good choice for a nerf arsenal.
It is actually way easier to cock than it may seem. Keep the right hand on the grip and the left up on the action, and down to steady the weapon later.
ReplyDeleteThe rotating barrels will take suction darts and (sometimes) streamlines. The velcro ones are the ones that almost always jam it up. I would actually say that it is one of the few nerf guns which really is designed to be conveniently shoulder-fired. I would also say that it is the best designed for room clearing and such, since it's small and powerful...
I'm gonna buy one and strip the lighting mechanism and replace the spring...
