This is great my son just loves it and its so durable the aim is outstanding and will shoot very far would recomend for 6 and up but hours of fun as long as you find all your darts

Interesting design!

This is an interesting design from Nerf and I can see a lot of people didn't like it, but we really enjoyed it. It was surprisingly fun and I found it pretty easy to hit the same small target each time, you just have to compensate. So maybe it's not the best for people who need a lot of aiming help or are looking for precision. It also takes a lot of arm strength and fitness to pump it each time you fire a dart, again and again, so not the best for people who are unfit or weaker. What it's great at, is a lot of fun and feeling like you're a real badass! Every time you fire a dart, you pump to reload and the clip slides up higher.

You do have to support the gun with one hand as it's a pretty chunky, front-heavy gun, which makes it more suited to older kids and adults. I also find I automatically want to put my hand on the cartridge and have to adjust my grip to how it normally would be. However it has a reasonable amount of force, normally I find the darts are a bit floaty and don't strike as fast. It's also just really, really fun (for me anyway).

I've heard people say otherwise, but you can 100% load this in one go. You'll see that there's a piece of plastic over one of the 'loading holes' when the cartridge is all the way down, but you simply have to angle the dart very slightly and it slides right in. So you're ready to go. One thing to notice is that there's no 'safety' lock, so I definitely don't recommend it for younger folks (especially if you have pets or even younger kids) as they get really careless with their Nerf guns.

I also think the design on this is pretty cool and a great option for customization. I can see cosplayers doing a lot with this kind of wacky design. Furthermore, the price is on the lower end for Nerf guns in this kind of style. It's not going to be for everybody, but I loved it!
