Firstly, I see that this product is currently listed at five times its value.

I am 17. This toy is great fun. The drum mag is worth the money alone. I purchased this exact bonus pack at walmart, with the extra drum magazine. I use one with my Raider, and one with my Recon. The streamline darts are fine, as expected, with exactly 35 darts included for each clip. The action is great, and feels smooth, however, when the slide reaches halfway, it catches.. at this point, you can only pull it back all the way. I mod nerf guns, and was horrified at the gun's initial performance. It shoots MAYBE 10 feet, accurately, with PERFECT darts. Other darts just plop out of the barrel. The slam fire is also difficult as you can probably pump a lot faster than the gun can fire - the air restrictors really slow the plunger down. Upon disassembling the gun, I was scared away from any modding... But my review should not be of a modified gun.

I like the details, and it has a sort of digital camo throughout. The handles feel great, and the trigger pull feels fine. The extendable stock is great once it is clicked into A position - if not, it will slide out on it's own. The stock feels much sturdier than that of my Recon.

The drum mag is phenomenal. It easily holds 37 darts, and rarely jams. If fits smoothly into the Raider, Recon, and Longshot. I am yet to try it with the Longstrike. There is a small amount of wiggle room with the Raider. Not an issue, just an observation.

I would definitely recommend this gun for kids just looking for fun, or maybe little ones that find constant reloads with the six shot clips too tedious to be fun. I am happy I bought this package for the two drum mags, but I am not terribly happy with the gun itself. It still looks great and is semi fun (for a 17 year old - again, I'm sure little ones would have a blast with this).

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than other clip systems., January 10, 2010

Seems to feed the darts more consistantly than other clip systems, without smashing the dart tips. It still takes about the same amount of time for each dart to load into the clip/drum magazine. Only slim & undamaged dart tips recommended.

Because we have 4 different dart types we use, I still prefer the single shot and a hand full of darts, when there are obstacles to hide behind.

Purchased this for my grandson. Our of the box the guns action seemed to look up and the action would not open no matter what I did. Being frustrated and not wanting to ruin the fun I completely disassembled the gun and finally discovered that there was a latch in the gun that is there strictly for assembly purposes but was out of alignment. I removed this part and the gun worked fine and is still working. It is a total BLAST! Although I did this I would not recommend taking this apart. It is just as complicated as a real firearm. I suspect that the problem is factory issue that is corrected.
