NERFPro Sender Half-Length Semi Automatic Dart Blaster, 150 FPS, 30 Nerf Pro Half-Length Darts, 15-Dart Magazine, Eyewear, Gifts for Teens, 14+

My daughter came home the other day, crying because the other kids in the neighborhood all had better nerf guns and could shoot further and she was getting hit every time. Like any good, overly ambitious father I decided to level the playing field by scouring the internet in search of superior firepower; I have clearly overshot the mark with this purchase.Upon putting this nerf weapon together and spinning up whatever cyclone they put inside, my 11 year old son uttered “Whoaaaa Dad” in surprise. The howl of the fan alone is enough invoke fear in the neighborhood, let alone the range, accuracy, and rate of fire this weapon is capable of. At 20', you can unload a full magazine inside of 20 seconds, and put every round on target (we tested this by shooting at the license plate on my wife's car. A spray of darts ricocheting in every direction combines with a satisfying “WHAP WHAP WHAP” sound as each shot lands on target). Truly, this thing is an engineering marvel.A couple of notes - at close range (inside of 12’) this thing will hurt to get hit with. I tested this by shooting myself in the foot and while being prophetic, it also left a welted mark; when they give an age minimum, they mean it. Second, eye protection is mandatory - that doesn’t just mean the kid doing the shooting. It means all the kids in the nerf battle should have eye protection. (Fellow overzealous father's, I’m looking at you; when you buy this for your kid, buy extra eye protection for their friends as well).Lastly - it’s. not a 100% perfect piece of machinery, but it is pretty close The darts can get smushed if you leave them in the magazine for too long. Careful reloading is needed and you should store it unloaded to prevent squishing.Ultimately the neighborhood kids all agreed to let my daughter use a bigger, better nerf gun to level the playing field…. just as long as it wasn’t this one. We all agreed this was just too much firepower. It serves now as the neighborhood novelty, and the kids all enjoy shooting it at my wife's license plate. 10/10 would recommend, but only for teenagers, and overly-ambitious parents.

I got it for just $14, a huge discount from its list price. At that price, it's a great value. I'd say it's worth up to about $20, but not more than that. On the plus side, it works, it packs good power into a very compact package, and it seems well made. Many have criticized the Sender and its springer-sister, the Torrent, for the quality of the darts and the blasters themselves. I haven't had those problems, and I own both. On the downside, the accuracy isn't good, there are no built-in sights, most sights and other attachments won't fit the small (non-standard) tactical rail, and it needs non-standard angled magazines (straight ones won't fit).

I'm just going to say it does its job and it's very very very strong on the pressure it packs with the Nerf bullet. Let's just say had to go to hospital I was shot in the damn eye and it took two months for my eye to heal... Wasn't that close to my face probably was 8 feet away. nevertheless it is a very strong Nerf gun so just be worried we made sure we got masks this time... The boxes that they come in doesn't let you know on how strong their Nerf guns are for children and I didn't think about looking that up until that incident happened so just be cautious..... Other than that it works wonderful 😂 five stars stop

Will leave welts if the “target” is too close. 5/5 would buy again. Hahahahaaaa

Nerf gun on steroids. Son loved it. Super loud.

Was not prepared for how hard and fast this Nerf gun shoots. My 9 year old son hasn’t used it much because of that reason.

Bought this for my son to play nerf was with friends. It is easy to use and has good accuracy. The goggles included was a nice perk. Will purchase again!

TL;DR. Mid blaster, triggers very heavy, mag wells too tight, and stock attachment accepts other N-Strike stocks, but it might flex poorly. Overall, for 50 USD it's a terrible buy. But for 64% discount at 17.99 USD? A solid choice.The Sender I received seemed to be a returned product. I cannot confirm this, however, I can provide pictures of numerus scratches along the blaster. Besides the shell looking used, overall the blaster was mediocre, velocity and accuracy was pretty solid, but many of the darts that got shot out fish tailed (where the dart comes out rotating and spinning weirdly) wildly and flew off target. In addition, the tension spring for this blaster is way too strong, making prolonged nerf wars tiring for your trigger finger.Some other things to note, the mag well is VERY rough, inserting and removing magazines requires some force. On another note, the n-strike stock attachment point is not a good point of connection. most of my stocks bend downwards when shouldered, as there's no bottom lip for the stock to rest on.
