>>10941751Sadly Nerf as a brand just doesn't seem as strong as it did a few years back. For a while we had fantastic N-strike stuff, fun Zombie blasters, Modulus brought the Tacti-cool attachments and Rival made these things feel serious. Then Hasbro shifted gears and dropped all the good lines, started pumping out Ultra and licensed blasters and cheapo stuff and the whole hobby moved away from Nerf as a whole and focused more on home builts and 3d print crap.
Dartzone had a nice run of cool half-dart blasters, but it was impossible to get the pistols where I am and that bothers me to no end. The Revolver was on shelves, but neither of the clip/mag fed Pro blasters would even ship to me. The Tomcat is lots of fun though, feels real nice and the drum is actually easy to deal with.
As for personal Stock Nerf kit I run, I usually go with the Rayven with the Modulus shotgun Barrel attachment, a belt rig with four pouches that can each hold 2 mags (depending on how tight I cram em in) and a Barrelstrike with the barrel attachment removed as my backup pistol. I could also replace any of the mags with a doublestrike giving me a belt that could hold five different pistols. I also have a grenade loaded with trimmed up elite dart heads that's always fun to drop into a game.
I've been planning on picking up the Moto Blitz as it's basically the same concept of what I use (bullpup with shotgun underbarrel) but far sturdier and with a much wider spread shotgun, but the damn thing is never on sale. It's easily the best gun Nerf has put out in years and a good reminder of what Hasbro can do if they actually put effort into the line.
