Nerf GelFire Raid Unboxing & Review

Today's Review is on the Nerf GelFire Raid!

I purchased this blaster from Amazon but wasn't happy with it. I hated the way the hopper interfered with aiming it and, unlike you, I found I wasn't hitting much using a 'just shoot from the hip' style. I tried adding a red-dot laser pointer and I found that it wouldn't hold on the rails! Those rails are not standard 20 mm size, they are only about 18 mm, and so attachments don't fit on them, at least in my experience. Essentially useless. I also didn't like the non-adjustable stock. So I returned it to Amazon and instead purchased the Ghost, with which I am much happier. The Ghost was only a little more expensive but has useable built-in sights (not blocked by the hopper), an adjustable stock, and fires the pellets at a somewhat higher velocity. For me, who uses these blasters mostly for target practice, the 5 shots at once feature of the Raid proved to be a gimmick; sounded good but not much use in practice. Thanks for your reviews of this model and also of the Ghost.
