Nerf Zombie Strike Sledgefire [english Subs] [deutsch] [unboxing] [unscrewing] Review #6

Hi We made our last review video quite a while ago. However, today, we got something special for you. The Nerf Zombie Strike SledgeFire. Let's unbox the blaster. Besides the SledgeFire blaster the delivery contents are 9 green darts and 3 dart shells. The dart shells can be filled with 3 darts each. The darts are an equivalent of what we already know from the Nerf series. They are identical to the commonly know Clip System Darts. The darts have a length of 7.3 cm and a width of approximately 1.3 cm. Let's have a look at the shells. The shells weigh about 18 gram. Including darts their weight is about 21 gram. The shells are made from solid plastic, have a length of about 7.7 cm, and a height of 3.1 cm. Please be aware, that they have a three sided figure. The functionality is different from the one you'd probably already know from BuzzBee's DoubleShot. On the one hand there are 3 darts in a shell. On the other hand, dart shells aren't completely ejected from the dartblaster. That's why, they won't fall to the ground. That's why we assume, that the dart shells aren't consumables. The 3 included dart shells should be sufficient. Anyhow, you won't be able to place more than 3 dart shells into the shoulder stock. Now, let's have a look at the actual blaster. The SledgeFire weighs 670 gram. Including all 9 darts and 3 shells it weighs 732 gram. For an adult the shoulder stock is just long enough to be actually located at the shoulder. The freehand mode is a good choice due to the low weight of the blaster, it's versatility and it's good feel in the hand. The SledgeFire has a length of 63 cm, a width of 5.6 cm, and a height of about 20 cm if you included the shoulder stock. Furthermore the box includes a set of cardboard made stencils, that will enable you to paint some logos. Let's shoot some darts. In order to be able to do that, we have to equip the blaster with ammo. Therefore, we have to fill the dart shells. In our tests, we found out, that it is necessary to put in the darts as far as possible into the dart shells. If you leave some space between the darts and the bottom of the shells, the energy will escape and the darts will make a fall instead of a flight. So, we've now filled the shells with darts. At the top of the blaster you will find a toggle, that enables you to pull down the barrel. This toggle is easily reachable for your thumb. It will allow you to pull down the barrel. Be carefull to pull down the barrel completely. Otherwise the stretching mechanism won't be primed. Press the toggle, pull down the barrel and hear a hear clicking sound as a confirmation from the stretching mechanism. Now, let's put in the dart shell. No matter how you do it, it'll work as the shells are symmetrical in their triangular form. Just make sure, the darts point forward out of the blaster. The dart shell will snap in the barrel. It won't fall out when you pull up the barrel in the heat of the action Pull up the barrel in order to get ready to fire. Aim and..... SHOOT!!! Let's have a shooting examination. Even though the mechanism is strechted easily, the range is high On average the shots reached distances of 17 meters. Some managed to fly 20 meters. Others only made 15 meters. However, there's also been an outlier. Compared to the only blaster with a truly similar mechanism, BuzzBee's Double Shot, the SledgeFire is by far superior. The design is more evolved, it carries 3 darts instead of 2, the range is by far better, the blaster fits comfortably in the hand and the functionality is perfect. Once again Hasbro has created a truly great dartblaster. Barrel down Shell in Barrel up Shot Awarding of Score bankcroft.de The design is convincing. The orange, grey and turquoise coloration looks gorgeous. The ornaments on the chassis of the blaster create a pseudo-however-still-convincing-industrial-endtime-zombie-look. Compared to other dartblasters, the design of the SledgeFire stands out. 5 out of 5 Blobbs. Range has been convincing, too. However, a litte bit more range might have been possible. 4.5 out of 5 Blobbs. The evaluation of the shot frequency is quite difficult with a blaster like the SledgeFire. Theoretically the shot frequency is very limited. You have to put in a new dart shell for every 3-in-1-shot. However, the handling of the dartblaster enables you to do this as fast, as you are able to do so. We believe, 3 out of 5 Blobbs, regarding shot frequency are a fair deal. For a shotgun, it's usability is really magnificent. Compared to other shotguns in regard of usability, the SledgeFire prevails. Nothing creaks, everything works as it should, shells are easily injected, the blaster can be prepared for a shot in nearly no time. We couldn't expect more usability. That's a definite 5 out of 5 Blobbs. Workmanship Workmanship The SledgeFire is perfectly crafted. Hasbro certainly knows how to do it. 5 out of 5 Blobbs. Moddability The blaster can be easily opened. You have to loosen 11 screws to be able to take off the first chassis element. After that, you can already remove the shoulder stock. Now you can remove the bezel that hides the mechanism. All other parts of the blaster can be removed quite easily. Within the chassis, you can see 3 more screws on the bottom left, which can be loosened. Overall there are 20 identical screws and another fastening screw visibly attached to the blaster. We'll have to see how much modding potential there is. We are looking forward to some mods from our dartblaster modding community www.blasted.de. Accessing the core elements of the blaster and removing the coverings isn't difficult at all. 5 out of 5 Blobbs. The overall rating reflects what we hoped for. The SledgeFire is an almost perfect dartblaster. We have waited for this kind of shotgun! You should have a SledgeFire with you when the next zombie horde approaches your doorstep. 4.5 out of 5 Blobbs. This is the end of our review of the SledgeFire. See you soon, when we review the Rapidstrike and the Centurion.
