Nerf Zombie Strike Hammershot


The hammer-action revolver that changed the course of HVZ: the Zombie Strike Hammershot. A small, simple, and powerful Nerf sidearm with reasonable capacity and fine ergonomics. Not to mention a wood-inlaid handle and a "cloth-wrap" that is strangely symmetrical…

Zombies, have fear- your bane is here!

Good:
  • Size. Not too small, not too large; juuuust right. The Goldilocks of pistols.
  • One-hand prime. A hammer-action revolver is great for dual-wielding.
  • Snappy trigger. Very fun to use.
  • Handle. It's comfortable and grippy, with plenty of room for larger hands.
  • Bandolier attachment point. This is a sidearm, and as such it makes sense to attach a bandolier to the bottom of the handle.
    Ahh, so well-proportioned.
  • Tac-rail. Who puts tactical attachments on top of a revolver? ME!!!
  • Ranges. 95 feet is pretty good for a gun that doesn't even claim any ranges. And modded it can get various insane levels of performance.
  • Easy to reload. Just slip 5 darts in, smooth as butter.
  • Aesthetics. It looks pretty darn cool.

Bad:
  • Handle. Who will seriously look at the handle and think that's real wood? And the "cloth wrap", on top of being semi-pointless, neither looks nor feels remotely like cloth.
  • Not for small hands. The prime can be quite difficult for the little people. I'd recommend the Doublestrike for them instead.
  • Sporadic. Accuracy decreases exponentially the farther away from your target you are. Only effective for aiming at 40 feet or less. (Modding fixes this)

So there you have it. The good points far outweigh the bad if you're in it for the tacticool zombie-killing action. If you're a kid just looking for a fun toy to play with, I would recommend this, but with reservations. Know that it may be a bit too big for ease of use. But it is well worth the price.



And don't put a Stampede shield on top. It looks exactly as dumb as you'd expect.

P.S. I will not be doing an internal modification for this blaster. However, there might be a cosmetic mod coming soon… ;)
