Nerf N-Strike Magstrike AS-10- Review

The Nerf N-Strike Magstrike AS-10 is the fastest firing Nerf blaster ever! Sound good? Well lets dive into another Nerf blaster review to find out what makes this blaster so good!

The Magstrike is an air powered monster! It may look quite ugly, but peel away the massive shell and you almost expect to see C4, but the internals are actually quite mundane. So, on with the review. The blaster works in a very basic way, which is nice, as my one didn't come with any instructions. All you have to do is pump the handle 22-32 times and pull the trigger. Simple. But it's simplicity is deceptive. This will shoot all ten darts in around 1.7 seconds. That's about how long it takes to read this sentence. When you think of it that's actually pretty quick. It also uses clips for a fast reload, but only one is actually supplied, but we will get into that later, as not to spoil the pros. 

This blaster has it's definite pros, most notably it's fast rate of fire and clip functionality, but it certainly has it's limitations. The biggest stuff up of them all is the fact that it is only supplied one clip. That's right, you can use a fast reloading special Magstrike clip, but you can't do a fast reload because you only get one of the stupid things. And unlike Titan missiles, you can go to Hasbro and say that you lost your Magstrike clip and they will send you one. For a fee. It also takes 22-32 pumps to fill it's air bladder, which completely defeats the purpose of using the clip. Another epic fail is that when you attach a scope or a light to the top mounted tactical rail, it beam/line of sight is blocked by the rapidly rising clip.

Despite it's pitfalls, performance on the Magstrike is actually awesome. It consistently shoots ranges of about 30-40 feet, which is a fair bit over the usual stock blaster ranges. As mentioned before it shoots it's load of ten darts in around 1.7 seconds. This blaster preforms great, but with a few minor practicality issues, users might find it difficult to use in a Nerf war. I know some people do, but I'm just saying...

All in all I'm very happy with the exceptional performance of the Nerf Magstrike AS-10. Despite it's small practicality issues I think it's a great, fun blaster. I give it a  8.9/10.0. This is Dylan for The Nerf Blog, Signing off.
