Hi

[@Drakrylos]

I actually really like the cosmetic design of the Eaglepoint, despite it being Elite 2.0. It looks like they took the best parts of Elite and Rebelle and put them into one.

[@Jpeg.g]

Like if elite 2.0 was done, well…well

[@bronze1324]

the eaglepoint isn't glued shut ynow, it has screws. so it's like a normal elite blaster.

[@Drakrylos]

@@bronze1324 Yeah, so?

[@bronze1324]

@@Drakrylos so, it's not like the other elite 2.0, which have plastic clips and glued shut, barely possible to open up. this is different.

[@Drakrylos]

@@bronze1324 I mean, that was never the point I was trying to make with my comment, but okay. It was purely the fact that it's part of the Elite 2.0 line, which has a bit of a shady reputation due to the aforementioned issues, but I never implied that the Eaglepoint has said issues.

[@myriadmediamusings]

I do like how Coop as of late has been fair to those who do want to get it just for fun, as opposed to just appealing to the performance-oriented crowd.

[@kirti3839]

as someone who buys their blasters after the looks and feel and not performance (I don't even go to any wars but just shoot at friends when they come over) I love this thing.

[@slushy6972]

Its pretty safe to say that the eaglepoint is a step in the right direction for elite 2.0

[@nightninja1170]

the eaglepoint isnt glued shut but just clipped together, and the barrel lug on it is a separate part which is useful, the spring in it is kinda weak, and the priming mechanism on it is quite different from other bolt action blasters with slamfire like on the tri strike

[@Montisaquadeis]

Yeah has to be since its NOT a mag fed blaster but a cylinder fed one hence slamfire being similar to cylinder fed blasters like a Strongarm.

[@ggbbddmm]

@dragonbreath my sons has done this and it's extremely annoying for him.

[@gregorhi2]

30 seconds of holding the blaster and I knew that Coop would refer to the Doomlands series. And I bought it purely for the look, just like the Desolator.

[@ukimenustah7932]

that barrel extension is amazingly well integrated into the design

[@Ghost.Toast.]

Everytime Coop says “There is a n-strike barrel lug” it’s like he just turned into a kid on Christmas. Also I love how this the first video on my recommended as soon as I wake up

[@DavidRecuenco]

Love your reviews man! I eventually got this blaster and did notice the priming issue. However, if you're willing to open it up (and trust me, those tabs are crazy hard to crack open) you can take the priming piece and increase the gap a bit with a small dremel and it will prime like a charm 😁

[@FoamFlingingHS]

Finally, a cool Elite 2.0 blaster

[@mister_ghoul]

my friend bought it, he broke it after 2 hours, then another friend of mine bought his son one, the blaster broke after 1.5 days

[@HyperKilljoy112]

After quarantining for a bit, i went to a nearby target and saw the eagle fire. As a big fan of the Alphahawk, I was extremely tempted in getting this blaster. After watching this video I definitely want to get this blaster even more now. I didn’t know that slam fire was a feature on this blaster. I would absolutely love to use this in a nerf war as a replacement for my alphahawk. While the alpha hawk has that pop out cylinder and sniper aesthetic, the rate of fire is what bugs me. While I’m not much of a fan of the looks of the Eaglefire I would prefer the performance over the appearance any day. Thanks for the review

The first Elite 2.0s kind of looked like a beached version of elite 1.0, but this really hits the sci-fi haloesque vibes!

[@mr.awesome906]

Honestly if you ditch the attachments and saw off the stock this makes for an excellent sidearm. An 8 shot cylinder blaster practically the same size as the strong arm. This suggestion might be for more performance oriented players, but it’s still something to keep in mind

[@ExtraordinaryJam]

Is it safe to saw off the stock?

[@drnickatnyte2688]

Hi Coop! Haven’t seen your content in probably more than a decade. You’ve been one of my favs since I was in junior high. Kinda forgot how much time has flown by since you released your vids on the first line of n-strike elite blasters (retaliator, rampage, hail fire, etc). Glad to see your still around. Keep entertaining the next generation. Take care man!

[@Chamdar17]

I just had to fix one of these, the problem was the failure-to-prime but it is not caused by a short-stroke or failure of the plunger to catch at the back of the prime, it is a failure of bolt-handle system to CATCH the back of the plunger to begin with! If you take the blaster apart (black handle piece is clipped, the rest comes apart easily via screws, there was no glue) you will find that the internals are largely contained in a plastic cage that keeps the plunger aligned. The plunger is pulled back on either side by a tiny nub of plastic that catches on a corresponding tiny nub on either side of the priming 'sled', but the plunger piece responsible for this is actually separate from the plunger rod itself, it pivots and there was no spring system used to keep it positioned to catch and be pulled back. I added a piece to the plunger rod to keep this catch in place and now the blaster primes reliably every time. A 2nd note, the placement of the foregrip area is idiotic. On the Alphahawk (which I consider the predecessor to this blaster), the extended barrel shroud provides foregrip area ahead of the rotating turret. On this blaster, the foregrip is inline with the front of the darts and the turret, so unless your hand is very small then it will encounter the darts and turret and hamper rotation. The only way to use the blaster effectively is to keep your hand off the foregrip 🙃 On a 3rd note, the 'scope' has distortion lenses in the rear and especially in the front with silly cross-hairs, it is impossible to see through which means my kids hate it and will only use the blaster with it not in place. Besides those gripes, it looks cool and I (and they) really appreciate how thin it is compared to a lot of older Nerf blasters.

[@kalele60]

Personally i think a low capacity cylinder is good because it's faster to reload than a high capacity cylinder (assuming they're both empty, if a 40 dart cylinder is missing 8 darts then it's the same as reloading an empty 8 dart cylinder) And while it's quick to reload with a spare mag, it's not quick to reload an empty mag by itself Love the review coop!

[@chadbonnerart]

[@lupin9548]

To me it looks a lot like the stockade

[@lemonscented7703]

I feel like if you could find a solid spring for it and cut off the stock, the easily-removable charging handles and easily-accessible cylinder could make it a decently competitive secondary against other springers. I also wonder if a stronger spring would help virtually resolve the issue of the bolt not catching, because it would provide more feedback for you to be able to differentiate between a full and an incomplete engagement.

[@Shinuzaki_2005]

The proportions and silhouette remind me of the halo DMR

[@davitdavid7165]

I think it has a 0lace. The internals come out in one peace and i think using this thing as a small 8r pistol for your stock war, in a different shell and then using the shell for some cool project to get a good stock is fun.

[@CommanderCodyStudios]

Hi Cooper,I’m glad your back! And thank you so much for reviewing these nerf blasters so I can choose my Blasters carefully

[@basher1904.5]

ngl the best thing about elite 2.0 is how good the barrels and stocks look so good

[@RYUZAKILL117]

I saw this at my local super market and thought it looked pretty cool, so the first thing that came to my mind was: let’s watch Coop’s review to know if it’s good quality :)

[@dylanahern7039]

Hear me out, there is a good reason why Slam Fire on sniper class blasters is a great feature. In case you are approached at close range by accident or you are discovered, you can increase your rate of fire to compensate for being in a CQB situation with an opponent with a higher rate of fire blaster for being at closer ranges.

[@M77152]

I haven’t watched one of your videos since you posted the Spectrum review and just seeing the intro brought back so much nostalgia

[@quinnhackett9565]

it almost looks like something out of apex legends or valorant or maybe even halo its cool i want one

[@GPK1075]

i had the same issue with the priming handle situation! But when i returned it and got another one, that one worked just fine

[@Nonwheezer]

On my first one, a catch inside the priming system would let go with a loud snap. Couldn't prime it majority of the time. The replacement worked great for a while, but now it starting to do the same thing. I love the look and feel, but maybe they cheaped out on the internals?

[@kaeli3741]

The full ambi joke is even waay funnier with text 😂 way to go coop

[@wr3nche5]

i actually really like this blaster as a bolt-action revolver rifle. it's fun to use and scratches that bolt-action itch for me, and if you're like me, then i'd definitely recommend it! and if you want, you can take off the barrel attachment and the scope and primarily use slam fire to have a carbine rifle (granted with only 8 shots, but still)

[@robinpadliya244]

Picked up 2 Trail Blazers (hammer shots with 8 round) for in the house play with the kids. It works great! This seems like a wonderful compliment.

[@jestiction]

In the modulus attachments, I don’t even remember when I got this. But there’s a attachable flashlight and the thing works pretty well when under the barrel. The flashlight doesn’t match the look of the eaglepoint, but it works.

If you look inside of the hole for the bolt, you can see white (from the actual plunger) when not primed, and nothing when primed. So, a cool little hidden priming indicator, basically!
