Nerf N-Strike Camo Ammo Review

My camo darts finally arrived! Well I'm sure none of you knew they were on their way, because I never told anyone. But anyway, I ordered them about a two weeks ago from from Fishpond.com.au, so this post is not only going to be a review on the product I received, but also of the service from Fishpond.


To begin with, I'm going to get the Fishpond service review out of the way. Firstly, the user interface on their site is great, and even as a person who has never ordered from an online store before (n00b!), I found the whole experience very easy. I even got five dollars credit discount for reviewing miscellaneous stuff I didn't even own and also got free postage for ordering between Christmas and New Year. I paid using bank account transfer and the whole process was very easy. I received an alert email when I ordered it, one to tell me when the payment went through and a final one to tell me that it had been dispatched. I must say the postage times were a little disappointing, but with the whole rush of the festive season sale bit, what can you expect, really? The whole thing was packed in a overly large cardboard box, with a whole bunch of these big air cushions, which make great pranks for people to sit on. The box looked a little battered when it got to me, but that was the fault of Australia Post.

Now, on with the product itself. The Camo Ammo bag as I like to call it, is just about the most pointlessly fun thing Nerf has ever made. It may have some shortcomings, but I like to think of it as a fun but pointless addition to my Nerf collection. The bag itself seems to be made of a thin and light rip-stop nylon, which while it is adequate, could have a had stitching of a higher calibre. It is held shut with some nice, descent Velcro closures, that are more than good enough for the job at hand. The bag can hold 4 clips and fifty darts, 7 clips or 100 darts. It's all up to you.

The darts are amazing! Although I got 50 suction darts in the pack, I just want more! They are just normal darts, but whip these out when your friends are over and your gonna be the coolest guy out. Just don't use them outside as even when I know where I have shot them, I just can't manage to find them. Well I do eventually, as I still have all 50, but that's beside the point. The digital camo pattern, which in the case of the suction darts is woodland camo is very descent, but I have heard reports from Urban Taggers that the camo pattern can eventually rub off, leaving you with some nifty looking brown darts. But that's ok, as these are mainly going to be used in my blaster photo-shoots to look awesome.

So, in conclusion, I think that the Nerf N-Strike Camo Ammo is a great addition to anyone's collection. It's got some extra darts, a cool bag and a sweet price tag, as it's only $35 AUD normal price on Fishpond.com.au and $29 in store. I highly recommend you go and pick up this great piece of gear.
