Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

The NERF N-Strike Mega Mastodon Blaster is an absolute blast! It's incredibly fun to play with and brings a whole new level of excitement to our NERF battles. Just a heads-up—you'll need 6 C cell batteries to get this beast up and running, so be sure to stock up. Once powered, the rapid-fire action and impressive range make it totally worth it. Whether you're a kid or just a kid at heart, this blaster is sure to provide endless fun. Highly recommended!
This gun is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. It is not very accurate, not very fast, and ineffective in every way. None of that matters, however, because once you take hold of it, you feel like a god among mortals, the star of your very own action film, putting down fools and laying out justice with every comically over-sized dart.
The engineer in me can go on and on about how the rate of fire is not very high and the range is not that great and the larger darts do nothing (except maybe intimidation) that a small dart couldn't do, but the kid in me can't hear him over the awesome fun that comes from firing such huge darts like a belt-fed grenade launcher. As a Nerf weapon up against other Nerf weapons, this is totally useless (like all Mega products). As a toy, a thing to have fun with and create joy, this is a 110% success.
Assuming you have the cash for a second Nerf blaster (because like i said, this is totally useless in a Nerf war), ask yourself this: when you saw this gun, did you immediately that one scene from Scar Face (i.e. "Say hello to my little friend!") that everybody remembers, and/or imagine a heavy gunfire sound-effect overlaid on the Nerf motor whine with each shot? If yes, then you should get this, because life is short and fun is good for you.
Also, I bet it would be great for any actual child, assuming they are A) large enough to hold it (I am 5'11" and it is almost as big as my torso) and B) not going to be up against a lot of other kids in a Nerf fight.
So I bought this for my 10 year old for Christmas. Then kind of rethought it and gave it to my 15 year old, who absolutely loved it. But then my 10 year old wanted one so I had to get him one too! I got a great black Friday deal on my first purchase. This thing is BIG and heavy but they LOVE it! Great for Nerf leagues
The Nerf gun is big. A bit heavy for a 6 year old but he can hold it and use it. Little guy has several Nerf, this is the coolest Nerf yet. Shoots 24 darts and pretty fast. We got a stand up foldable target which catches the darts for it which pairs great. Only issue so far is that the gun will jam if a dart is slightly bent. The darts are the same ones it came with are barely used so shouldn’t jam being slightly used. There is an easy open little window to quickly resolve but wish it didn’t jam as easy.
11 year old grandson requested a larger nerf gun. Got this during a black Friday sale. He loves it! Was told he's plotting all the ways he can use it during games with friends.
This toy gun is gigantic! As a very large person, it was absolutely delightful to experience a toy with such considerable size. For anyone considering this for a child, it would be about the size of a 5 year old. Besides the visual appeal, firing it is immensely satisfying. The loud spin of the drum and heavy thud of the bolts enforces the perception of this toy being a powerful item. Highly recommend for anyone who wants their child to have the coolest toys or would just like to get some nostalgia from the same reason. Does require 6 C cell batteries to operate.
