[@dartdispensary2027]

Didn't he predict the Rapidstrike as well?

[@BionicleFreek99]

just for the record i don't think its worth $40 but i do think it would be worth $30-$35, and here's why. first off i'd like to say though i don't think you should include the price of shipping in your main blaster price (although you could still mention it) since the majority of consumer level people are likely to pick it up at a local store rather than buy it online. -alpha troopers nowadays cost $27~ to have shipped ($25 before shipping), considering that thy come with the blaster a weak folding stock and a 6 shot mag an extra $13 isn't all that much for what this comes with -this one has a larger plunger tube and has been specifically reworked to take full advantage of accusative darts -this blaster also has the new style drum mags that have been entirely redesigned to stop jams (something that other reviewers have mentioned but you curiously left out of your review) -this one also a costly modification to their injection molds by the way of the attachment point in the front -this gun also comes with a new design of stock that mimics the form and function of an exceedingly popular worker stock -also keep in mind that accustrike darts are extremely costly to produce since they have to be precisely manufactured unlike comparatively cheap elite darts that have a pretty high tolerance for error since they already aren't designed very well aerodynamically, so anything that includes them has to either include less of them or cost more to compensate for the price of the darts (not that i don't think they should try to work on making them in a cheaper manner btw, they need to fix that problem for all of their darts) also, adding this note in after fully watching the video before posting but i DEFINITELY think they need to ship blasters in full boxes if they can be easily primed in box, not shipping in a full box for something like this is a major oversight i understand a price that big is jarring but companies aren't magic either, i agree that Nerf has been over pricing blasters but this is just something i can't agree with given all of the work and effort that's been put into making it a good product while also trying to keep it as cheap as it can be

[@preschooler2322]

I got mine for $30 (29.99) at Walmart because it was on sale

[@REALPEDROGAMEPLAYS]

What

[@jackschenkenberger5517]

I think that the accustrike darts kind of add to the price because it is harder to mold the tip in they’re rubber

[@mbrsart]

With the Accustrike gimmicks, I'm surprised they went with the Battle Camo Stryfe instead of the Accustryfe. But then again, it seems like flywheel blasters are kind of antithetical to the Accustryke shtick.

[@RealBeanMan]

Yeah, it's kind of weird that Nerf put the "Orange Rapidstrike" or Stratohawk in that line. I love the battlecamo look, and I wish they put the stryfe in Accustrike, and made a BattleCamo Rapidstrike! It would look pretty sick.

[@stevenbobbybills]

@@RealBeanMan I know I'm a little late, but putting an orange stock, one of the Modulus style fake scopes and a faux-barrel on an OJ Stryfe before loading a 12 dart magazine with Accustrikes would pretty much do that.

Here I thought my Alphatrooper being primed was just a random accident. Same thing, ordered online and when it came it was primed. I have never been so damn disappointed in a purchase before. Out of the box the first shot got an amazing 10 feet range. A replacement spring fixed it, but its still bullshit I had to shell out more money due to shipping incompetence.

[@WolfMan-nf4lv]

It makes me cringe to see them primed in the package. Who the hell would think that’s acceptable...? Again, especially for $40..? Well that’s okay, cause I paid for the OJ EAT before I knew about the accutrooper, and I paid almost $50 for it to get to my house. Great performance, wasn’t pre primed, buuuut the O-ring on the Bolt sled snapped after a month’s worth of use. So now I’m stuck without my alpha trooper till I find the right size of O-ring.

[@adamross2256]

I loved the 18 round drums. I ended up buying like 4 on ebay back in the day. They worked really well in the Rayven (really compact). Although their springs were really bad, and they'd miss-feed quite often.

Glad that Hasbro aren't abandoning the AT in any case. This video reminded me to dig out my EAT and have a tinker, so bonus!

[@hereigoagain04]

Great video, Drac. Just curious, would you be able to do a comparison between identical blasters where one has been primed for a long time verses a fresh spring? I keep running into that problem, too.

[@chancegilbert7829]

Thatd make a great video. ....cause science

[@James_Mular]

keeping your blasters primed has no effect on the spring they shot real gun magazines that were fully loaded for like 30 years and the springs were fine dont buy into it man

[@chancegilbert7829]

@@James_Mular real steel springs and toy blaster springs are not made to the same specs my man. I dont think that this is a fair assumption. Ive had magazine springs for my s&w wear out from leaving mags loaded for too long. It weakend the springs and would not feed the last round.

[@James_Mular]

@@chancegilbert7829 fair point but im not saying it doesnt do anything im saying it isn`t as drastic as people think

[@chancegilbert7829]

@@James_Mular fair contention. Thats why I like the idea of testing just how much it can effect the spring. Like OP said, if someone were to take 2 identical blasters, and leave 1s spring primed for like a month or so, then test them both, we could get some actual data, rather than speculation. Id love to see drac do this. Hes in a good place to perform this test for the community

[@wallygatorify]

I just want to take the time to say thank you for all you do. I just got into Nerf and I would like to say that you are super on point with your videos. Keep up the good work and if you are ever in Cali hit me up. I Nerf and paintball.

[@apotatoguylikesdogs6761]

They improved it a lot, They added a barrel attachment lug.

[@ultimatearmouries8936]

i found all the EAT's at Kohl's primed and had to de prime them all. this is why i dont like the open face boxes, plus it takes away the surprise element of getting a gift. I know it's to save on cardboard but idk why they have to ship them primed, that is honestly careless. i expected better care quality from nerf, especially to an old legend such as the alpha trooper. Nice review drac, keep it up!

[@_Hellsing]

The white and grey look a bit off but it is good that a great blaster is still being sold retail instead of for a ton for a plastic toy

[@dudepool7530]

so, i just googled the new trooper, and you can get it at kohls for about $25. it doesnt have the drum, but it comes with 2 6 dart mags. so, if youre willing to forgo the drum, you can get it cheaper.

[@jamesorsomething303]

The oh nodulous scope is great color match for this color

[@TrojanManSCP]

Springs fatigue on cycles, not leaving it in a loaded state (so long as the load is not excessive).

[@TrojanManSCP]

Sorry, but no. For steel (springs), the degradation modes relevant to engineering are strain failure (stretching it too far) and fatigue (excessive cycling; normally in the millions). Well, that and thermal, but anything that would affect material properties of the steel spring would melt the blaster.

[@TrojanManSCP]

In spring-tempered steel, creep only occurs at elevated temperatures, heavy loads at the edge of the elastic range, and long storage times. None of those conditions are met in a primed Nerf blaster for 2-3mo. I have no association with this channel, but take a look at this example of a compressed spring in a plastic housing over a long storage time (can skip to 7:30): kzbin.info/www/bejne/emjJZomPf9ikoac

[@tatsuhirosatou5513]
