Nerf Doublestrike

Here is arguably the most realistically styled nerf gun yet. And it has one of the most boring, ambiguous names for any nerf gun. That's Hasbro for you.

Honestly, I think the Doublestrike is pretty cool.

Please forgive me; my writing style is really off today, so I'm just gonna cut to the chase.

Good:

• One-hand operation. While it takes getting used to, you can easily cock and fire this gun with one hand, which is rare with nerf guns.
• Safe colors. Some of my readers may not live where toy guns have to have an orange tip. I do. As a safety precaution, Hasbro decided to make sure that everyone knows this gun is a toy by coloring half of it orange and the other half green.
• Good for small hands. As I will cover later, this gun is designed to be a toy. Not an Hvz secondary, not a hold-up-the-bank weapon, just a toy. And since toys are usually played with by children with small hands, the design for this is intuitive.
• Easy to spin. See video:

Bad:

• Not for nerf wars. This gun is a poor choice to carry in a nerf war for several reasons:

1. Low dart capacity. You're gonna have to reload this thing A LOT.
2. Small handle. See that part of the handle that curves forward? It means that if your hand doesn't fit on the straight part, you will inevitably get a cramp holding it.
3. No holster. There's nowhere to put this gun when you're not carrying it. It doesn't have a holster, no one makes a holster for it, and if you carry it in your pocket, you're likely to lose darts when you pull it out.

• Realistic. You probably won't want to paint this very much, because it has high potential for being mistaken for a real weapon.

All that considered, this might be a good "kid's first gun" to teach firearm safety, or it might just be a fun toy to shoot your brother with. But if you participate in nerf wars and like the idea of this gun, just get a Hammershot, a Rebelle Sweet Revenge, or a Rebelle 4Victory. You'll like any of them much better.

I'll be giving you a mod guide for this one soon.
