[@Coop772]

For those of you who didn't see my channel post, I've been away because of an eye surgery. It's still unsightly, hence the sunglasses. Also, the ‘flickering’ of the pink lights is not visible in person - it only shows up on video.

[@AwkwardHypernerd413]

You do look pretty cool in those shades tho

[@ardasstuff6]

Glad the surgery went well, also the sunglasses look awesome on you

[@ollanius_papyrus80]

Love how he basically said “in their defense, the needled literally was not designed for human hands.”

[@Fusiondax1]

and even then, not even sure it was designed to be comfy for the aliens either... You think the covenants care about ergonomics? "It's all about that faith, dude!"

[@ollanius_papyrus80]

@David janelle eh… the covenant took a lot of artistic liberties with their tech. For example, in one of the novels, I think it was first strike…? They comment on how tall the ceilings on some covenant ships are and how inefficiently they use space. in regards to the weaponry, the sangheili wouldn’t stand for their weapons to be uncomfortable to hold. I mean even from a human standpoint, weapons being comfortable hold has a very, VERY tangible effect on accuracy.

[@Fusiondax1]

​@@ollanius_papyrus80 Well, in case of the needler, the projectiles home-in on their target, so accuracy is somewhat irrelevent. Now that I look more into it, I find that the Halo Reach design makes more sense: there's a single cavity at the back of the handle for the thumb and the handle is curved. No weird bumps... it's almost like if they flipped the handle around... curious.

[@Lord_zeel]

Hasbro had the luxury on this one, of giving it the correct color scheme without it looking too much like a real weapon. The other Halo licensed blasters so far have been much more "realistic" in terms of looking plausibly like actual guns, so in typical Nerf style, they just made them silly colors so they are clearly toys. Here, being a completely alien design that already includes some pretty crazy colors, Nerf was safe going very true to the original design. The result is stunning.

[@dragon-id5uj]

@TxtMeOnTelegrm-_Coop772 I got a special package for you right here buddy

[@joshua5483]

Hello Coop, I never really know how to write these sorts of messages but I just wanted to say thank you for being apart of my childhood. I’ve been watching your channel since 2013 before unicorn tactical was even a thing yet. seeing your modding videos and how to take apart things was a key factor as to why I am an engineer now. Im now 20 so NERF has slowly been absent from my life over the years but I am so thankful I found your content at such a young age. I wish you all the best in your recovery. Thanks again for everything you do you inspire So many people. Take care Frank, Stay Tacti-Cool ❤

[@PBST_RAIDZ]

[@Jake_Sherrell]

Welcome back Coop! Glad to see you making content again. And what a great blaster from the Halo series to come back with!

[@TheMusicMeister.]

@@awesome346 Yes

[@nomic655]

Definetly a top pick for any hardcore Halo fans who'll have it on a shelf/desk constantly on view and as a cosmetic for a cosplay convention. For the money it is absolutely Hasbro's best looking blaster so far. If it works like the Stampede as a full auto spring loaded gun, I understand the slow fire rate. It's probably more helpful for the target audience to feel like they have a larger firing duration than an effective fire rate. I don't know if the animation at 3:24 is yours or Hasbro's but it looks cool. Good to see you back Coop! Glad the surgery went well. If you didn't tell us the sunglasses are due to your eye, I would've kept believing you just wanted to look cool while reviewing a cool blaster.

[@haydenfrost2692]

To me the halo assault rifle is more iconic

[@junk2040]

Animation is Hasbro’s

[@Aaden1127]

YOOOOO it’s Frank Cooper

[@Bronugget]

Preordered this last year and it finally came the other day. I absolutely love this thing.

[@lotus_r1ce478]

Still waiting on mine. How is it?

[@Bronugget]

@@lotus_r1ce478 Display wise fantastic. Function wise it's fine. Firing full auto is all I could really ask for.

[@claybeasley2997]

Yeah I couldn’t be happier with it, and display mode having a two hour auto shutoff is perfect. Didn’t know I wanted a sleep timer on a video game prop until now.

[@RJIVHALO]

Just ordered mine off Amazon yesterday for $70. Getting it tomorrow lol

[@201hastings]

@@lotus_r1ce478 I paid $70 for mine on Amazon but the quality is more like $40

[@strongarm_11]

Dam, the needler looks huge (compared to my boomco one) Also the needlers internals are based off the rebeal power bell and dart tag swarmfire/speedswarm (they look epic when duel wielding)

[@Fires_Stuff]

I did not think he’d be into this blaster, boy I was wrong.

[@BustyCatbot]

I feel like Nerf should continue with the quality they've put out with this blaster, and pivot to being a prop gun company, making their normal blasters more of a side-thing, because this is REALLY good for Nerf, usually their prop blasters are incredibly simple mechanically and tacky with Nerf brand coloring, but this straight up just looks like a Needler, no orange or yellow in sight.

[@Capy-capy]

Good to see you back Coop ! Another detailed, straight to the point and yet entertaining review : kudos ! And this one deserves special praise for its finely measured to-buy-or-not-to-buy conclusion : not an easy blaster to rate, and you needled it !

[@MasonVis]

Hey coop, great to have you back. This blaster is quite cool. Remember, if ever need any time off again for any reasons, don’t stress, we’ll all support you.

[@Jack_Fuego]

6:07, truly… truly ravaging footage 😂

[@superluigi9490]

I preordered this last year. I’m glad you did this review. I’m excited, but it was a tad smaller than I figured, and that grip is gonna be annoying for my wide hand. Oh well. Still gonna love it

[@TheSmokingMustache]

Don't worry about the size, Coop is actually a large human, I specifically recall seeing the Nailbiter in stores after his review and just realizing how big his hands are, he makes large blasters look small.

In lore the needles of the needler are shards of an explosive crystal called BLAMITE and the reload animation in combat evolved emphasizes this with chief loading a purple crystal into the top of the needler with the shards popping up out of the top of the weapon

Epic needler, the reason you might have disliked the bottom part of the grip is you need to put your index finger through the hole in the grip and pull the trigger with your middle finger as that is how it is held by Spartans and elites in game

[@dnl4295]

Thank you for your honest, and very accurate personal opinion. In my case, I just like the design aesthetic, so it was a very easy purchase. Not a Halo fan/player. As for the price, yeah $100 is definitely more than they needed to charge for it, but Hasbro has learned that people would pay whatever they ask for if items are popular (entire HasLabs is making them millions before anything goes into production = aka risk free). This nerf gun started as a pre order at a $100 mark, and is currently being offered by scalpers $200. So be wary when shopping for it.

[@comixcam9154]

Thank god, welcome back Coop!

[@kimjonurinal]

Just got mine in the mail today it's honestly a beautiful piece. Very well made. My favorite video game gun. 😁
