HFCBE - Nerf Maverick REV-6

A classic old blaster I absolutely despise, the Maverick is a simple 6 shot revolver. Being a six shot revolver, there is an expectation that you can quick-fire and quick draw it as you'd see in cowboy movies and all that. So just how well does the Maverick perform in this way?

Long story short, if it doesn't misrotate/misfire, decent. I still hate it. If you want guaranteed revolver rapid fire, a Strongarm is far better choice with its much more reliable rotation mech and slam fire.
Time: 1.1
No. darts: 4
Theoretical ROF: 2.73dps or 163.6dpm

HFCBE - Nerf Spectre REV-5

The Spectre REV-5 is in a sense a replacement for the Maverick, with a far more reliable rotation system which rotates on prime. This however results in misrotations of primed too quickly. With the rotation slip mech glued together to avoid this, can the Spectre match the Maverick's ROF?

Not quite. With less than a 0.3dps difference, the Spectre can nearly match the Maverick's ROF, but not quite beat it. Nevertheless the Spectre is far superior to the Maverick.

Time: 1.63
No. darts: 5
ROF: 2.45dps or 147.2dpm

HFBCE: Nerf Vortex Praxis

The Praxis was part of the first wave of Vortex blasters released late 2011. It was considered by many to be the best of the original Vortex, as it used Vortex mags, had good ranges and was pump action. However, the Praxis lacks the slam fire that makes the Pyragon so much more spammable. It was found though that holding the trigger down after priming back resulted in a psuedo-slam-fire style firing, which allowed drastically increased ROF at the cost of greatly increased jamming chance. So just how fast can the Praxis be emptied, both with and without psuedo slam fire?

Two test were completed: traditional pump action and psuedo slam fire.

Traditional Pump Action
Time: 3.13
No. discs: 10
ROF: 2.875dps or 172.5dpm

Psuedo Slam Fire
Time: 1.56
No. discs: 10
ROF: 5.769dps or 346.2dpm

HFCBE - Modded Nerf Raider CS-35

This one's a little late, sorry about that. I was too busy playing Pokemon X which was released on Sunday. Anyway...
I absolutely despise the Raider. As Nerf's first slam fire blaster however, it is important to see how Nerf blasters have improved since 2009.

It is possible to get a good ROF out of the Raider, but its severe jamming problems limit the ROF you can get out of it. As you can see in the video, a serious jam occurs, tearing apart two Elite darts.
Time: 1.13
No. darts: 8
Theoretical ROF: 6.19dps or 371.7dpm

HFCBE: Nerf Alpha Trooper CS-18 (stock)

A while back I did an Elite Alpha slam fire vid, in which the Elite Alpha in question had a BT v2 spring of 8.5kg load, stock spring being around 2kg. So I went and got one of my stock ATs and slam fired that to see what kind of ROF I could get.

Time: 2.91
No. darts: 18
ROF: 5.842dps or 350.5dpm

Strangely enough, ROF with a stock AT is slower than ROF with my 8.5kg EAT. *genius*

HFCBE - Nerf Longstrike CS-6

The Longstrike is one of Nerf's bolt action clip (mag) system blasters, seemingly designed to be a sort of rifle. As it happens, the Longstrike is one of the weakest blasters in the N-Strike line, but we're not concerned with range at the moment. All we're concerned with is how fast it can empty an 18 clip (mag).

Time: 6.48

No. darts: 18
ROF: 2.623dps or 157.4dpm

HFCBE - Brass Breeched Nerf Longshot CS-6

As requested. HFCBE Brass Breeched Longshot.
The Longshot CS-6 is a popular blaster among modders due to its huge direct plunger tube. Brass breeches are popular because of their unique 100% air seal property. This combined with strong springs (14kg+ are popular) and shotgun grips to make priming easier and faster. With measly 8kg though and bolt action, how fast can you fire a brass breeched Longshot?

Time: 8.72
No. darts: 9
Theoretical ROF: 0.917dps or 55.0dpm

Note that this ROF is not indicative of what you or someone else can get from a Brass Breeched Longshot, as ROF is largely dependent on the quality of the brass breech and supporting mods. Mine were not that great hence my ROF is not great. Also note that with a shotgun grip ROF would increase dramatically.

HFCBE - Nerf Elite Triad EX-3

The Triad EX-3 is the first single shot blaster to use an air channel system to allow multiple shots without needing a rotating barrel or clip. Using an AR activated self advancing system, the Triad can be rapid fire simply by priming and firing quickly. So how fast can this multi shot single shot pistol fire?

Time: 1.07
No. darts: 3
ROF: 1.87dps or 112.1dpm


Note that this Triad is modded. To see a stock Nerf Triad in action view http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M6Kf_S6iJo

HFCBE - Nerf Stampede ECS

The Stampede ECS was Nerf's first full auto clip (mag) system blaster, and came with 3 of the extremely popular 18 clips. It is electric, meaning its ROF is totally independent of the user's strength or skill. So how fast can a Stampede fire?

7.2v
Time: 7.2sec
No. darts: 17
ROF: 2.22dps or 133.3dpm

~16v
Time: 3.97
No. darts: 18
ROF: 4.28dps or 256.9dpm

HFCBE - Nerf DT Snapfire 8

The DT Snapfire 8 is Nerf's first spring powered semi auto blaster. With its semi auto ability comes a ridiculously large and difficult trigger pull, especially on power mode. On speed mode though, just how fast can a Snapfire fire?

As it turns out, reasonably fast. Though of course not as fast as slam fire or the flywheeler semi autos, the Snapfire can still put out a decent number of darts quickly, especially for a sidearm.
Time: 1.93
No. darts: 8
ROF: 3.63dps or 217.6dpm

HFCBE - Nerf Elite Retaliator

The Retaliator is one of the first Elite blasters, being a remake of the old Recon CS-6. With it comes a slide priming which many people feel is awkward and uncomfortable. Additionally without slam fire it cannot fire as fast as an Alpha Trooper, but how fast can it fire?

Even without slam fire, the Retaliator can put out a very decent ROF.
Time: 5.53sec
No. darts fired: 18
ROF: 3.07dps or 184.4dpm

HFCBE: Nerf Rayven CS-18

As requested, a HFCBE video of the Rayven, as well as a demonstration of how I empty semi auto flywheelers so quickly.

Time: 2.23sec
No. darts fired: 18
ROF: 7.62dps or 457.4dpm

How Fast Can it Be Emptied Youtube Series, Magstrike AS-10 firing vid

So with the slam fire and rapid fire vids I've been making recently, I thought I'd make an actual YouTube series out of it, called How Fast Can it Be Emptied?
First up of the 'official' HFCBE videos is the Nerf Magstrike AS-10. As the fastest firing production Nerf blaster, I thought it'd be a good blaster to start off with.

Time to empty: 0.68sec
No. darts fired: 10
ROF: 13.2dps or 794.1dpm
To compare, a stock Stampede or Vulcan fires at 3dps, and although I dislike firearm analogies when regarding Nerf, I have to use this. The M16A3 assault rifle according to Battlefield 3 fires at 800rpm.
There is literally no Nerf blaster I've used that is anywhere near comparable to the Magstrike in terms of ROF.

Look out for HFCBE videos in the future!
