Review: The New 2015 XD Elite Alpha-Trooper by Nerf

[@PortalgeckoJY]

You could say that the shipping was singapoor.

[@Ambtran2023]

good one

[@jackr7674]

Hey, that's pretty good

[@chillixbaboon1148]

Portalgecko its singapore!!!!!

[@omarruky7115]

NO, it's a pun!

[@sharkassassin4121]

ba dum tsss

[@zacharychi2589]

Long live the E.A.T! May it ever reign over the spring powered blasters! May your fire be slow and your ammo plentiful!

[@tythemagicguy0687]

Whenever I see XD it looks like an imoji to me

[@alwaysplaying8414]

Ikr XD

[@tracysanders5252]

XD

[@viktorlargelimb]

Lol ikr xD

[@Thecreeper2002152]

an overused one

[@funmadness548]

XD

[@danielsmoothie]

When people say it has a bad stock, I say " At least it's a stock, the old one didn't have a stock!"

[@michaelschafer3414]

I would rather use no stock

[@PowerAverage]

id take the 12 mag or 18 drum over the stock

[@TheTriforceCrusader]

The Alpha Trooper is my favorite Elite springer primary, so I am definitely getting one of these to add to my normal blue Elite.

[@akiegwieog-wegjfk4953]

LordDraconical, all you need to do for that stock is push it in and it will stay stile, and if you want it to move you pull it out, it's that simple, but it took me a long time to figure that out which is surprising considering that I have a Spectre Rev 5.

[@variares1114]

It must be the first time nerf has ever had a black kid on their packaging

[@dreamingwitch7543]

Weird, i remember black kids on the back of the boxes, but never in the front.

[@weijdan]

the big bad bow box had a black kid on it lol

[@andrewyi643]

Peter Nguyen they have done it many times, on the crossbolt for example

[@brickprimetime]

Anyone remember the RapidStrike?

[@ojosell614]

[@wjrainbow9797]

They should have done the Recon stock instead of the Spectre stock (for the second clip).

[@wjrainbow9797]

No agreement? okay....

[@KIMG69]

I agree with you;)

[@wjrainbow9797]

TheClashKimg- Clash of Clans :D

[@TheTriforceCrusader]

Agree totally. Recon stock is still wiry and thin, yet has mag space, good shoulder fit, much more sturdy. And, if you don't want your stock in battle, it's Nerf you can literally just rip it off, why have to fold it and have it get in your way.

[@_vDdog]

always cut away from you. my friend was cutting a fishing line but accidentaly cut part of his stomach open.

[@gdxgames-geometrydash7479]

Boy, that escalated quickly.

[@kommoo3366]

Dayummmm

[@Jacob-mv9jj]

+Ddog Candle yeah im always cringing when he is cutting towards himself, just hoping he dosen't get unlucky

[@sadseal8118]

jalbutt42 jalb ikr im 14 and i never cut tword myself

[@sandybowman5110]

Okay. I’m no longer wanting food...

[@HPDeskjet-jo1bo]

Plz tell me what that badass knife is! I love it

[@LordDraconical]

[@hunter_light_18ncs]

LordDraconical Reminds me of an Orcish Dagger from Skyrim

[@ethananschuetz7939]

Drac would you recomend it for a arround the house knife?

[@ethananschuetz7939]

Also I think she needs a Sharpen (;

[@chuckplainview4085]

***** thats a really expensive knife just to be used in the house

[@ChileanBoy93]

Oh man, I'm super excited. I've been waiting for an Alpha Trooper re-release for so long now. By the time I got into Nerf, I could never find any for a reasonable price, so I've never actually owned one myself but I've used them in Nerf Wars and they are a ton of fun. Also looking forward to accessorize it with the Modulus kits!

[@souleatars2785]

i gotta say, im loving your blade collection as well

[@spectralmark6377]

Orange Elite Alpha Trooper is currently being sold at Canadian Tire. (At least where I live) so go buy it if you want. I found EAT's are hard to come by.

[@robertweekes5783]

According to others you can also fire this one-handed as opposed to the original alpha trooper where the pump would slide back slightly preventing the gun from firing (you had to keep your other hand on the pump)

[@jakecobovic9091]

I hate that they didn't include the drum mag. Or at least a twelve mag. It looks way to weird (coming from someone who's favorite blaster is the original Alpha Trooper) with a short mag.

[@AirsoftIL]

"one clip,two clip. red clip,blue clip." -drac

[@CPD0123a]

As I said when this was spoiled on the Southern Brisbane video, I don't fully buy into the Alpha Trooper hype train too much, as I started long after they went away, but I'm VERY glad to see its return! Even if it's just in CS-6 form and with a lame stock, and not CS-18 with a really nice stock, I'm happy to be able to buy one. No real reason--don't really need it, but I just love how it's back.

[@wjrainbow9797]

Two things I find strange: 1. Not only do they show the clip half-way out on the back, they also show it with the guy shooting the blaster (the clip is half-way out, the priming thing is in the rare position, and somehow he fires a dart). 2. On every single picture, the priming thing is light gray. On the actual thing, it's dark gray.

[@TsubasaVotora]

i always watch all of your video drac XD!!! idk if anyone here actually skips your unboxing

[@schiefer1103]

you can store an clip in the stalk by using those bands wich are one side tape and the other site a lot of those thinks wich need another different one to hold together, and wouldn't hold on something else eccept the different part. the other part would need to go onto the part of the magazine that is always on the outside...

[@MohammadJamaluddin]

+LordDraconical I'm from Singapore and just got myself this Alpha Trooper. Was wondering is it possible to mod the Spectre Stock to be sturdier? Because it's not easy for me to get a hold of a Worker Stock.

[@AlltheMelvins]

I'm glad that you have a favorable opinion of this blaster, because I ordered one before watching the review.

[@tommylakasi3022]

Im looking for a springer blaster, and i want it for indoor wars. Im looking at the alpha trooper for 40cad, and the sentinel for 17cad. I heard sentinel is really good, but i also like the alphatrooper. Which one should i get? I heard that the alphatrooper can jam easily sometimes

[@redauroras]

Alpha trooper? Cool. Orange? Sweet. Stock? Awesome Old clips? Take my money already!

[@pandaproductions8797]

Your Doctor Seuss joke made my day. Thank you.

[@splat668]

Drac could you explain, in a video or reply, what the fart coating means. My darts are all with the same coating letter but what does that letter represent

[@9legoboy9]

Thinking this is just a way to clear inventory... those are N-Strike clips and not Elite clips in every regard (the bottom, no transparency, etc.). That and the Spectre is now incredibly hard to find and the EAT is obviously painted over. Sadly I don't predict this will be on shelves for a long time.

[@CinosMagician]

always thought comments weren't used for saying who commented first and what not but oh well. Keep them vids coming Drac, always good to watch your videos :)

[@saninpain]

I just saw you on a dashie vif

[@kaiyamccann6042]

Drac you should make an "Alpha Raven" as I call it, and it is really just a alpha trooper with a raven integrated in it. The alpha trooper and raven connect in the same places as a strayven and it's operated with the alpha trooper cocking mechanism. It would probably be a good HvZ gun because of, well, it could be like a death dealer with an extra mag in the back. You might be able to integrate the rev trigger and make turn on a flash light or lazer or something.

[@legojack108]

Draw, do you live in the pacific north-west? I lived there and it had a similar climate.

[@noahheise7749]

i have never had a alpha trooper

[@frosty8148]

Noah Heise me ethair i want one tho

[@whoohaaXL]

Never understood why Nerf didn't at LEAST (with the XD line) up the spring rate from 2.5kg stock in the regular elites, to like 3 or 3.15kg stock in the XD range. Then at least there would be some difference in FPS and (in direct relation) a bit of range, too. There would at least be some proof of what they claim and they would be vindicated at least, this way.

[@thecelticnerfer3886]

for a mod, you could make the terra drone faster and stonger to make it an assault drone not a stealth drone

[@3rdKingPlays]

Does this mean we are possibly getting reskins of other discontinued guns like the elite Rayven?

[@hiphip4808]

I love how the pump handle thing is light grey on the box but dark grey on the blaster

[@quadrant7493]

I LOVE the alpha trooper... Good job on the review thanks!!

[@alidasoo6654]

LordDraconical drac, i find it hilarious that you use a sword to open a box

[@Alzahar_Negatheron]

Woot Woot! I have always wanted a pump action bottom fed primary!! Im glad i can finally get one now!

[@squirtlechan3795]

hey drac, I want to paint a gun, but most paints are expensive. Do you know of a cheap alternative that looks really good, but won't cost too much money?

[@rednecknerf5997]

+LordDracanical do you think Hasbro will make an XD raven

[@VoltageSlash]

>Mission Kit So is it possibly going to be a Kohl's exclusive? Seeing as Kohl's got the Stryfe Mission Kit, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. Which then means it would be hella expensive, unfortunately.

[@hodinskytristan9183]

Can you do a mo guide for the centurion because i painted mine and greased it, ect... But it still gets horrible ranges and a jam every second shot

[@kristinaaleccia4095]

Hey drac how much would a moded raven with a longstrike barrel with a doughnut inter graded cost

[@purplenerf5343]

A rayven re-paint would be nice just because they are so hard to come by. Nerf would make good money if they released the 1995 crossbow again.

[@cedricanggawan7987]

What shop is that alpha trooper bought Because i checked in toys r us and they did not have it.

[@notjacksonbuist7308]

+LordDracinocal I have the blue elite alpha trooper and I'm thinking about getting this one. Is it really a Koles (sorry I think I might of spelled that wrong) exclusive? Because there is not any nearby where I live ;(

[@Zack_Byrd]

No. Saw one at Walmart.

[@PeteC75]

It is a Kohl's exclusive. Whatever is at Walmart is not this gun.

[@Zack_Byrd]

PeteC75 Sorry Person. I was mistaken. Thank you for correcting me PeteC75.

[@fununclenerfs]

Does this blaster have a nice long dip in its future?

[@chethaii7884]

there was a rapidstrike on the side and maybe the primary languige is chinese vietnamese or korean or mabe russion

[@n00bk1lla189]

hey drac, how do you remove the leftovers from the safety sticker? thanks

[@Isheian]

Back in black! So glad to be back! Huzzah! I finally get to own one!

[@jokersfunnies1233]

I have the original N Strike and Elite alpha troopers, which a re both extremely hard to find. For modding, should I just buy this one so I don't accidentally ruin the older ones?

[@krowns746]

When would the alpha trooper be coming around USA and Canada

[@maxgreening9909]

can you please tell me the name of the knife you were using in this video and can you get it in Australia. Thank you

[@monicalanclos5690]

Hey drac I got a EAT XD from Amazon and it isn't getting the same preformance

[@David-vd5ut]

Hey drac- did you hear about the new dela trooper coming in fall?

[@stevemicallef5084]

dear Drac i am a big fan of your vids and i was wondering if you do E A T commisions and how much you normaly do them for

[@AcurelyObtuse]

Whoa, you weren't kidding about the clips being old school. I thought they were just non-transparent clips, but they have the trapazoid pattern at the bottom, they might as well been colored yellow they're so old school.

[@dreno360]

They are now available in the states- check Kohls.com placed an order a few minutes ago.

[@saigeyoksh]

Drac the mega hotshock is out in Singapore last time I heard, you should get one shipped to you.

[@Draw4Dame]

I have been searching for an alpha trooper for months and the closest that I've come to a reasonably priced one is a $63 one on amazon, before I spring for that is there a better way to get one?

[@NachoPoblete1]

where do you bought that knife Drac? i do really like it :)

[@dougtarnovean]

Drac do you think hasbro should but a tactical rail on the pump so you could put a grip on it. It would be so much easier and more fun.

[@zachmundy519]

I find putting grips on pumps is counter productive. If a better grip came out it might work. But Hasbro doesn't have any yet that would work

[@dmoran1093]

But the grip could come off when quick frying

[@jacktheawesome6773]

the recon cs-6 is good and so is the stampede. I also like the Vulcan. only problems in feeding we're because I didn't feed the belt properly and I got it used

[@meroastisruined3039]

Unmodded they all suck, modded the Recon sucks

[@charliealyea5502]

Nathan Beck the stampede and Vulcan are amazing.Recon modded shoots pretty far.

[@christianreid5550]

JacktheAwesome my belt for the Vulcan broke but it's still usable I love the stampede I have never used the old recon but I have the recon mk2 and i love it

[@Anjoishim]

You said clip do you mean magazine

[@frederikkjaer4170]

Why do you think that the Alpha Trooper is the best N-strike Elite blaster? The Stampede and The Rapidstrike are both very good blasters.

[@WatchingCrow]

Yo what if they re-released the E.A.T. under zombie strike Zed squad or under doomlands? Would that not be amazing?

[@toxicroaktcg4241]

hey drac i really cant find one of these atm without paying nearly 50$ and wanted to know where to get one of these

[@sandybowman5110]

The old Gear Up Raider stock looks dope on this

[@mandrakevermilyea7488]

Love alphas but I didn't get in to nerf until alphas went off the market so glad to see an alpha back on store shelfs will def buy one ASAP not paying 180 plus for a vintage CS-6 that's for sure

[@kanjiclub]

Kinda strange how It comes with the old school 6 round magazines

[@FunnyFred67]

Hey Drac how much would a custom alpha trooper with a companion hammershot?

[@trogdor5196]

When are you getting a Vendetta to unbox stuff?

[@williamphipps8548]

drac I'm in a crisis I bought a eat xx from Kohl opened it fired and it is badly getting 30 feet angled did I get a broken one or cause I'm made I spent a ton of money on it.

[@prodraezor0223]

William Phipps same mine was from kohl's also it shoots like 30 ft

[@consume_vegetables]

You bought all the way from Singapore? I wondered why it hasnt reached my local stores here in East Malaysia. I am sad.

[@dreamingwitch7543]

I'm surprised its not he other way around (US gets first, other places later), is this common in Nerf? Sorry, i'm new to Nerf.

[@consume_vegetables]

Usually its out in Amazon or Target. Im surprised myself

[@dreamingwitch7543]

irwan HUZEN Thanks

[@joshjlmgproductions3313]

The first NERF gun I got was a sonic fire Jolt. I learned from it that every dart counts, but of course I didn't get many wins versing my friends who had a Recon and a Retaliator. The I got the Elite XD Alpha Trooper CS-6. It was a huge jump from a Jolt (haha that was punintended) and I went from a 1:7 win ratio to a 1:3. (Yay!) Unfortunately the Alpha Trooper was retired when it was replaced with the Recon MK 2. (It had an attachment rail on the barrel, side, and top (3 instead of 1) and had a interchangeable barrel. (Unlike the AT) So that is the only reason(s) I switched. I do find the AT more comfortable than the MK 2, though. Now I rule with a homemade utility belt (holds a hammershot and 2 of any size clips) and a Recon MK 2. Sorry Alpha Trooper. :/

[@honkhonk8009]

6:20 its not the black. its the hood

[@thomaskulick5534]

Just wondering, What knife is that and where did you get it?

[@doctordalek4502]

Whats are some good stocks for the alpha trooper if i want to do HvZ

[@turbotubbie4750]

that looks cool but is it in stores or is there a release date

[@oandbproductions8437]

Ups: fragile:kicks in over and over agian and then runs it over these throws it at your porch. Not fragile: walks really carefully and puts it down really slowely

[@tomwoot9501]

What does it mean when it has the letters on the darts mine say k and j

[@mifiamigahna]

This thing looks awesome! I really hope Nerf will use this paint job more often! Why is this pump grip supposed to be better than a Nerf N-Strike Raider Rapid-Fire CS-35 one? Well... except from the fact that slam firing instantly jams the Raider and rips your darts apart. Actually, the Raider Rapid-Fire CS-35 was my first Nerf gun I think. Also, it was the first blue N-Strike and the first one to come with a drum mag.

[@WCxColosus]

hey drac so ive been looking for that blaster and apperantly its a khols exclusive i went out to get one for my self i got it for 34 bucks its been 3 months since you posted this video but i just wanted to give a heads up if you didnt know

[@pat_tato4370]

That's great and all, but where are the Rayvens?

[@liamfinch2839]

drac what is the knive you used to unbox this

[@supermacncheesy9023]

I'm thinking of getting this for my birthday, will the stock break?

[@hatmaster1238]

I've heard that elite alpha troopers are fragile and will break within a month, is that true?

[@meroastisruined3039]

Nope

[@dltrevenge7282]

Hatmaster 123 no

[@creepykiller2876]

I was thinking. You might be able to make a better version of Alucard's gun with an alpha trooper. Add on a slide and repaint and you should be fine. Just an idea.

[@ryanbrown5905]

Singapore is a former British colony so has a culture of people with English as their second language with their primary language being ethnic. E.G. Speaking both Chinese and English

[@lumpy1space2princess]

Orange modworks with Retaliator unleashed stage 3 kit gets up to 130 FPS. Id say retaliator is better for mods, especially with the pump grip.

[@carllawson5043]

Cant wait to get one! Loved the AT ever since it came out!! Guess i'll be gettin more raider or recon stocks lol

[@nasutoe]

Has anyone else noticed that the barrel of the alpha trooper is riffled?

[@joeygerrow8418]

there is dart storage in the bottom of the handle

[@PerfectChaos1212]

okay, so i found that this thing is a Kohl's exclusive. does anyone know if it's going to go to Target, Amazon or Walmart for less then 33 dollars?

[@javenedelen7427]

On mine the priming handle slides by itself is it supposed to do that

[@EzworxTheCrazyDude]

That knife is SICK! Where did u get it

[@fletchergoodell2388]

How should i contact drac if I want to get a commision??????

[@kenjim.5391]

when is it realeased in the US?

[@stayathomekings4891]

i got this exact product at a kohls. its a kohls exclusive as it says on the box.

[@inactive5032]

I have some elite darts that are smaller with a darker red tip, some others with a light orange tip. Is that normal?

[@atlantisam8262]

me too

[@inactive5032]

How could they be Koosh darts if your implying that I dont know what they are? I have never bought koosh darts.

[@inactive5032]

***** no
