Review: NERF Reflex IX-1
I've figured something out.
Since I'm such a "shameless" Nerf blaster collector, instead of just keeping them for fuck's sake, why not I do a little review about them?
Let's just start with blasters that you guys MAY probably buy because of it's price. A measly $9.90..
The Nerf Reflex IX-1.
At first glance, it sure looks like a little nugget-like pistol for babies. But that's where you are wrong.
PACKAGING STATES IT'S FOR AGES 8 AND ABOVE.
Okay, still baby-ish.. nvm let's get to the point. ):
The blaster's really "chunky" for something of it's size, but it has a very nice feel when gripping it.
Albeit the size of the grip.. Your hand is probably a little too big for it. Actually, even 8 year olds WILL have a spare pinky hanging when holding it. Other than that, not much problems ergonomic-wise.
It can fit into most pockets without problems, so it can be a really effective quickdraw blaster :)
Firing the thing itself is really, REALLY simple. Load a dart in the dart slot, pull your priming handle back, and poof.
I personally prefer this to the Jolt, where you pull the awkwardly-positioned priming handle downwards...
Since this is a single shot blaster, you probably won't be expecting to fire a rain of darts at your opponents but.. it's still good for target practice/shooting your family members at home.
But if you guys are SERIOUSLY considering to start playing Nerf, this is not a recommended blaster due to it's horrible rate of fire as a single shot weapon (you will be better off with the Strongarm). Well, unless you guys can't afford to spend much..
OVERALL SCORES
Comfort: 7/10
Mobility: 10/10
Range: 10/10
Rate of fire: 2/10
Overall score: 6.5/10
Okay. Not bad for a first review, if I say so myself..

The Reflex, primed and loaded
Performance wise, OUTSTANDING.
The ranges easily pwned the shit out of all the first-generation Nerf blasters (yellow ones).
Approx. 50 feet parallel-to-ground, and 70~75 feet angled-to ground.
The dart flew effortlessly across a canal near Safra Yishun that day (I HAVE PROVED 2 PEOPLE WRONG THAT DAY ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE OF NERF BLASTERS).
Heck, there's even a tactical rail. Not that Nerf accessories are available tho ):
So all in all, I like this little nugget a lot, although I don't think I will have any practical use of it.
As mentioned in the first paragraph, I collect these little shits for the hell of it. If it's affordable and looks appealing, I get it (I don't feel like an 18-year-old at all..).But if you guys are SERIOUSLY considering to start playing Nerf, this is not a recommended blaster due to it's horrible rate of fire as a single shot weapon (you will be better off with the Strongarm).
