Nerf Modulus

I cannot contain my utter excitement at the release of this new lineup! It's almost as if Hasbro asked me what I want, and then made it! IT'S PERFECT!!!

The Nerf Modulus lineup is the epitome of tacticool. Just enough tactics and a lot of cool. I especially love that Nerf is finally bringing back the concept of Mission kits with the new Upgrade Kits: Stealth Ops, Long Range, Strike and Defend, and Flip Clip. I personally plan to review each of these, but no guarantees…

Anyway, here's the goods:

Good:

• OH MY GOSH THE TACTICS!

  

  TACTICS! TACTICS! TACTICS!

• Okay, okay. I'll get serious.
• Scope. This is actually the first Nerf scope I have owned, and it's a great start. Though sadly not actually magnifying, it does have built-in "crosshairs" for those who like the look. And it's nice and compact.
• Stock. It holds an extra clip. Any extra clip, not just a six-clip.
• That awesome banana clip is back.
• Dual rail barrel. It has another male connector on it's front end! You can literally now add as many of these to each other as you want. Or you could just add a different barrel extension to the front. And it has two tac-rails!
• Rail space. Seven tac-rails. Seven.
• Modularity. What can I say? The name just fits. With all the upgrade kits out there, you could configure this gun almost infinitely!
• Internals. I took this thing apart for a preview, and it's all very neat and compartmentalized.

Unfortunately, though, nothing (not even a dream come true) is perfect.

Bad:

• Flimsy stock. It's even worse than the original Recon detachable stock. No way it helps you steady your aim.
• Large. But, I mean, who really cares? Can't size be a good thing?
• Handle. While I grant it looks amazing, it's somewhat less than ergonomic.
• Color scheme. White and green???

But over all, this gun everything it was meant to be. The upgrade kits are really cool, too. Leave a comment with what you think about the new Modulus line-up.

Shout-out to Hasbro: a) Thanks for caring enough to read my humble blog. b) Thanks for making the internals so simple! c) THIS GUN IS AWESOME!!!!!
