minus-squareHerbert_W@discuss.onlineMlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoThis would have been absolutely brilliant if it was released 3 years ago. I haven’t even gotten to the best part: the Nerf Pro Stryfe X fits magazines and darts from other brands. This is surprising given Hasbro’s past attempts to push proprietary ammo. I haven’t said this for a long time, but good for Hasbro. $120 feels like a bit of money for a semiauto blaster when Dart Zone just began shipping the $90 select-fire Omnia Pro. Indeed it does. the Stryfe X’s new rails and lack of barrel adapter break compatibility with a decade of body kits Wait, isn’t compatibility with existing kits the biggest benefit of keeping the form factor of the Stryfe? This doesn’t make sense. As happy as I am to see Hasbro moving into the modern era, I’m concerned that this may be too little, to late, too expensive.
