I recently picked up both the Speedload 6 and the Quick 16. I think these are the only blasters that can slamfire non streamline darts (?). The Quick 16 feels a bit oversized, but it also feels really solid. I was able to fire micro darts, whistler darts, and tagger micro darts. It performed flawlessly without a single jam. It's a good blaster.
The Speedload 6 is a mess. Just like the Quick 16, it's much larger than you would expect. The Speedload is also very heavy. It's not just that the blaster's heavy, it's specifically front heavy. Even though the gun is wieldable, it always feels off balance.
The real problem with the Speedload 6 is jamming. Unlike the Quick 16 which can fire just about any dart, the Speedload has problems firing the darts that ship with it. In about 30 minutes of test firing, I don't think I made it through a single six dart magazine without a jam. Even worse, all jams are catastrophic. Darts get wedged half way into or even folded into the chamber. In these scenarios the jam door isn't very helpful. More often than not, the internal mechanism blocks access to the dart. I had to fish out jammed darts using a dental pick. In every case darts were ruined; in many instances the heads of the darts were ripped clean off.
Priming the blaster more forcefully seemed to help to some extent, but I found that priming the blaster with a good deal of force will frequently slamfire the next dart even when you're not touching the trigger.
With all these issues, I assumed that I'd purchased a bad blaster. The Quick 16 which uses the same basic design performed flawlessly. I returned to the store and exchanged the blaster for a new Speedload 6. While the replacement did not exhibit the accidental slamfire behavior, it still ate darts at about the same rate.
It's possible that I had two bad blasters in a row or that perhaps I'm inept, but after two bad blasters in a row I'm weary. If you were looking at this blaster vs the Quick 16, the Quick 16 is the hands down winner. In general I'd recommend not getting this blaster.

My 3 boys each got one of these for Christmas. They love to play Nerf tag so I though it would be perfect. The guns get jammed very easily. I think my husband spent more time trying to unjam them than they did playing with them... They have fun with them when they aren't jammed.

Great concept!
Only jammed a couple of times and only shredded a couple of darts!The gun itself looks cool and the internal clip is great (other than when it jams).The distance is pretty good to!

UUUUGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!
Every time I use it, it jams. It is very hard to take out the jammed dart. Even the darts that came with it clog! I think I shold've got the swampfire instead...

Better then the Quick16
Ok, I can see that I am not the only one who owns both models, but my opinion varies some. This one seems to jam less frequently then the Quick16 did. Read more

Fair...
When it's all been said and done, I think Nerf's Dart Tag series of blasters will not be considered one of their better designs and this one fits about in the middle of that... Read more

This is one of my favorite NERF guns. I'm an old man now and I still love nerf products. A lot of fun, shoots fast, easy to reload.

Jammed!
This thing has more moving parts than a steampunk typewriter, which means it JAMS constantly. You have to cock it one and a half times about 70% of the time you fire it, and it... Read more

Nerf replaced the bad gun with a good one
Update: I emailed Hasbro/Nerf and let them know how horrible the gun was. They wrote me back and said they'd replace it. Read more
