Nerf Rayven CS-18 - Review!

Introducing the latest in Firefly Tech... the Nerf Rayven CS-18!

The Nerf Rayven uses a "bullpup" design with a flywheel powered system to launch foam darts in semi-auto. It features 2 spinning flywheels positioned in a vertical layout (similar to the Nerf Barricade).

Pull the "acceleration trigger" button at the trigger handle (similar to the Nerf Vortex Nitron) to power up the flywheels, then pull the main trigger to fire. Each trigger pull fires one shot. The rate-of-fire depends on the how quick you can continuously pull the trigger.

It uses the Firefly Tech 18-dart clip which has inbuilt LED lights to "charge" up the special glow-in-the-dark streamline foam darts. Once those foam darts are fired, they will stay glowing briefly, then the glow will fade away. The foam darts can be "re-charged" when back in the clip or from any suitable light source.

The Firefly Tech clip and glow-in-the-dark streamline foam darts are usable with other N-Strike clip-fed blasters. The Rayven can also use all N-Strike clips and drum magazines, as well as normal streamline form darts.

The Rayven requires 4 x AA batteries to operate, and the Firefly Tech clip requires 3 x AA batteries (batteries sold separately).

It has tactical rails on the top and on the right side which are compatible with N-Strike accessories. It also has a front barrel attachment point which is compatible with N-Strike barrel attachments too.

The blaster comes packaged with 18 x glow-in-the-dark streamline foam darts.

Average stock range is around 25-30ft.

Nerf N-Strike Jolt EX-1 - Review!

Check out the Nerf N-Strike Jolt EX-1!

The Nerf Jolt is a spring powered direct plunger blaster... with a really tiny form factor.

Its plunger tube is housed inside the trigger handle. Just load a foam dart, pull the priming handle at the bottom downwards, then pull the trigger to fire.

The blaster comes packaged with 2 x Sonic/Whistler foam darts. It is compatible with most Nerf foam darts too.

The average stock range is approx. 25-30ft.

Btw, doesn't it have a rather uncanny resemblance to the "Noisy Cricket" in the movie Men In Black? :)
