Customer Reviews

If you’re buying a Nerf gun, the “Raider” is the one to have. Our house has them all - most seem to have cheesy features that do little to enhance the “funability” - detachable stocks, red “laser” sites…those are neat for box art, but for tearing around the yard? You want fire power. The Raider fires very fast, doesn’t jam and seems to have as much power as the Nerf Lawyers allow.

The drum mechanism is surprisingly reliable - at least for now. We’ve just taken ownership, so there’s a lot of wear-and-tear to experience! We’ll see. However, we decided to review early because there were some reviews that describe a jamming or difficulty with the loading mechanism. Straight out of the box, ours wouldn’t load either…until we clicked in the clip. Then? Fine. So maybe the other reviewers hadn’t attached their drum or clip yet?

Anyway, I’d say that if you were buying Nerf guns for your army, there are two you really should have - the Raider and the little single-shot “pistols.” The rest are - in my opinion - thunk up by brand-extension wonks who just want to sell toys. Which is fine…but if your Nerfite really wants to PLAY, forget the features and just go with reliable firing.
