Nerf N-Series Wave 1 Overview

[@jolemaire6629]

The N stands for "not cool".

[@Ianterstellar]

At least nerf is somewhat trying at this point. It's been a while since they made much worth noting, but this series certainly seems to have more to offer.

[@RyFiChannel]

Yeah, cool to see things evolve for sure

[@CRNerf]

Look pretty good. I'm still struggling to wrap my head around another dart type though. Thank you for your thoughts and opinions.

[@adabsurdum5905]

I am guessing the post at the bottom is designed to reduce drag. Would love some actual data, though

[@astoriafloyd4183]

@@adabsurdum5905 The actual stated purpose of the nub is to be... dart DRM. That is to say, NERF own putting that nub on a dart. Other companies cant do that, unlike elite darts which anyone can make.

[@speeddemon5339]

@@adabsurdum5905it could be so the dart can actually compress an AR mechanism.

[@crymp198]

The new line actually seems better performing than before i hope this line can be succesful because it actually seems better than the elite line

[@adabsurdum5905]

Been hoping they would take another crack at the Ultra type design. If they can find a way to reduce the drag then they can increase range without jacking up the FPS to crazy levels

10 gram tungsten throwing darts. If they leave the barrel at 50 feet per second, they'll fly forever. With plastic tips they won't even break the skin (much).

@@michaellee4276nerd is supposed to be used by kids too

[@zeroblade6599]

They could have used the boomco dart design, those flew ridiculously far for how low their fps was

[@speeddemon5339]

What do you think the Nseries dart is?

[@clayre839]

Interesting how the feed lips both help improve the experience of the younger demographic while presenting a challenge to experienced players by penalizing an early reaload, increasing the chance for an opening

[@RyFiChannel]

Yeah, it’s a super interesting trade off

[@clayre839]

@@RyFiChannel I feel that consistent non-intrusive drawbacks are good for game health. It's the reason why a lot of people got tired of proton pack gauntlets so quickly

[@patricksweeney3382]

Nerf didn't need to change the dart, they needed to put out a good gun. You can't realistically do much with an affordable piece of expendable foam. They never adopted a bamboo style dart or even seriously supported a half-dart. At the same time, they put out a long list of questionable blasters that nobody asked for. I think the Infinite was probably the first solid offering in a while. Considering the staunch competition they are now facing from third party suppliers on all fronts (professional, meme guns, darts, and fun guns,) and that they are owned by Hasbro, Nerf is most likely not long for this world.

[@davekitzmiller7586]

If nerf is trying out different ammo types, they will probably bring back vortex

[@RyFiChannel]

All of us there vouched for Vortex lol

[@TacticalGaming1248]

This seems pretty interesting

[@RyFiChannel]

It's a lot of fun to try it out!

[@thedeerinurtoilet4214]

Glazing

[@dabbingraccoons6416]

The infinite is pretty good though. 40$ for the blaster and 80 darts. That’s a good deal for hasbro standards

[@thedeerinurtoilet4214]

@@dabbingraccoons6416 i guess

[@wyle4814]

That's cool

[@jaredshep4030]

That is a great new looking gun for the nerf pro line but the basic paint design just isn't really for me

[@robertbrunello]

Bring back HYPER!!

[@bion-geek-le1109]

this was clearly done so that people would stop using competitors darts in nerf brand blasters

[@wyattr7982]

Mags without feed lips and a retaining clip? Must have gotten the idea from the Madsen LMG

[@RyFiChannel]

It’s an interesting system, I think makes it overall easier to load

[@JoshuaWilliams_]

Awesome

[@paulnkiki68]

Not impressed with this new N series so far. I will keep a open mind. I will also stock up on elite style darts while I can (they will be sold on Amazon)

[@RyFiChannel]

It’ll be interesting to see what other companies do with full length elite style darts in the future

[@guard961]

even nerf themselves dont know who this blasters are for. Looks horrible for anyone playing games above 16 years old.

[@RyFiChannel]

This is for the 8+ category. When I got the to talk with designers, they made a point to mention 14+ crowds (Rival, Gelfire, Pro) are different

[@dabbingraccoons6416]

Because they are made for kids? You have to realize 75% of nerf buyers are kids under the age of 16.

[@dabbingraccoons6416]

If you want some more stylish and higher performing blasters just go to dart zone they make better stuff anyways

[@SupremeEditx8]

Sir when will this be available in india

[@RyFiChannel]

Not sure about when these will release around the world

[@ziploc2000]

So the new darts won't fit any other blasters, and the new blasters can't fire any other darts? This feels a lot like Ultra, Hyper, Mega XL ... all over again. Oh, and the new blasters are ugly.

[@mockery_finn]

Ngl I was a bit afraid of N Series being another gimmick line that’s gonna be forgotten in a few years but seeing how they redesigned everything and are replacing the Elite line entirely with this is insane. I hope this line does well and I hope Nerf continues to go up instead of making random lines for no reason.

[@brunomiguel4199]

how is the plastic quality, thickness compared to elite 2.0? is it better?

[@RyFiChannel]

It feels just as sturdy, but a little different "feel" in certain areas

[@brunomiguel4199]

@@RyFiChannel nice, thanks

[@thedeerinurtoilet4214]

@@RyFiChanneljust as sturdy as elite 2.0 is an insult

[@nateswineford2150]

But how is the accuracy?

[@RyFiChannel]

Accuracy feels improved over elite, is my impression. Hasbro tested in wind tunnels and such and said it’s about a 15% increase in accuracy. I think we’ll get a better sense when the darts get used more heavily about durability.

[@nateswineford2150]

@@RyFiChannel sadly with Elite darts at zero accuracy that only puts the new darts at 15% accuracy not 15% better.

[@dabbingraccoons6416]

@@nateswineford2150although looking at another KZbinrs tests the darts fire pretty straight now. They won’t curve in random directions but of course the accuracy coming out of the barrel is still not great.
