Nothing groundbreaking, especially when this now exists. I managed to fire all 3 shells in about 6 seconds on an average. Performance is meh at the very most, but hey, its firing 3 darts at once.Ĭonsidering it’s a break-action blaster that takes shells, I wasn’t expecting a very high rate of fire. Darts that came with the blaster and some slightly used elite darts were used in the testing. Three sets of values were made for every iteration and averaged. The blaster was fired 3 times from shoulder height both parallel and angled to ground. Testing had to be changed a little bit owing to the fact that the Sledgefire can work with one, two or three darts in the shell. Shells don’t eject completely so there’s no fear of losing them. The empty shell pops out a little bit to make reloading easier. To fire the blaster, break the barrel, insert a shell, and fire. The grip is large enough for adult sized hands, and the stock, although a bit small for me, is comfortable and contoured. Neon colours aside, it looks great and it feels great. Inside the box are the instructions and a few cardboard stencils.įirst Impressions, Aesthetics and Ergonomicsįor a ‘shotgun’ class blaster, the Sledgefire is surprisingly sleek and very well designed, right down to the snakeskin texture grip, the ‘kill-count’ markings, various vents and ridges and fake over-sized screws. The open face box shows the blaster itself, the shells in the stock and 9 Zombie Strike darts.

It’s slow to reload, takes shells which aren’t sold separately, and has mediocre performance, but it’s still a much loved blaster for one simple reason it’s fun to play with.įirst launched in 2013, the Sledgefire, along with the Hammershot, was the first blaster to be released under the Zombie Strike line. And there is perhaps no other blaster that conveys this notion in a better way than the Sledgefire. However different these areas might be, one thing that all aspects of this hobby share is having fun.

It can be anything from performance modding, to cosmetic modding, to organized competitive games or even office wars. Nerf as a hobby encapsulates a lot of aspects of what people call ‘Nerfing’.
