HFCBE: Nerf Elite Rapidstrike CS-18 (stock)

Nerf claims the Rapidstrike can empty an 18 clip (mag) in 5.62 seconds. I put that claim to the test in a quick video.

Batteries: 4 x Toys 'R' Us branded C batteries
Time: 4.923
No. darts: 18
ROF: 3.45dps or 207.2dpm

So yes, the Rapidstrike can achieve the claimed ROF. Considering Nerf's recent track record with performance claims, this is a surprise, and a good one at that.

    1. TRU is a rip off for basically anything except during sales. I got the batteries just to see how the Rapidstrike was stock, I'm running it on 3 Trustfires, looking to upgrade to IMRs once I get moar moneyz.

    1. Gimme a couple days to take all the pictures I need and write everything up.
      I'll also need time to fully understand just how I feel about it, it's certainly not a "yes i like it" or "no i don't like it" opinion, which happens for most blasters. And then I'll need to put this opinion into words.
      It may take a few days just to write out how I feel about the Rapidstrike.
