So, apparently, Nerf wants to compete against the DartZone Pro and X-Shot Pro series.

    This 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.

    A bit pricey but overall promising. I get why there’s no N-Strike barrel (performance) but would be fun anyways. Now reveal what Nerf Ball is, Hasbro.

      I’m going to guess that there will be some way to change the launcher tip or someone will create an adapter for the barrel, ultimately I understand why it was removed, but I’m sure there will be someone who wants it back.

        Yeah, there’s a few barrels that don’t mess with performance and of corse a lot of mod kits should work, if it’s basically a 1:1 Stryfe

    They timed this perfectly to take the air out of the DZ Omnia release. Just got that email yesterday.
