Firefly...Nerf, Not The Bug

I apologize again for the poor quality of the picture.

Today's post is all about Nerf, again.

Another recently bought blaster and I bought this one from Little M toyshop for quite a cheap price. Today's blaster is the Firefly REV-8.

Picture of the box.
It glows in the dark?! Awesome ^^

Now to see what is inside the box.
Another blaster that dosnet require any assembly ^^
And as usual, an instruction manual.

A bit bigger than the previous blaster, the Hornet AS-6.
It looks like more a futuristic weapon.

The firefly uses the micro dart. But these ones looks like albino micro darts.

Its a good habit to read the manual first before doing anything even though it looks very simple.
You might never know what stuff you can learn from it.

Another simple manual sheet.
And a glow in the dark sticker is provided. Now I know why it says it glow in the dark.
It has glow in the dark stickers on the darts.

Time to unleash the beast.

It seems that they prefer to use industrial bundles on one piece blasters.
Again for those below 12, please ask from your older siblings or parent to cut the bundle.


Finally, time to play around with this gun.
As you can see, the trigger is way in front of the blaster, allowing the end to rested on your shoulder for support.


The Firefly uses a revolving mechanism like the Maverick. But it can hold up to 8 darts. 2 more darts than the Maverick.


The Firefly provides 8 dart holder, 4 on each sides. Isn't that just convenient.


Top view of the dart holder.


Another unique feature of the Firefly that there is a switch. Wonder what is it for.


The hatch for the batteries. It requires 2x AA batteries.


The cocking mechanism. The location of the mechanism is almost similar to the Maverick.
Could it be the Maverick is a smaller version of the Firefly?


Just like any Nerf blasters, the Firefly too can use other Nerf blasters accessories.

Now to the darts.
8 micro darts given and a 8 pieces of glow in the dark stickers provided.

Reading the manual, the stickers are to be rolled onto the darts.
The end product. 8 glow in the dark micro darts.

Now lets see how does the darts fit into the holder.
Fits nicely.

From above view.

Now for the darts loaded in the Firefly.
Looks so deadly.

So wonder what was the switch for? Its really hard for me to take the picture of it but I found a video that can sums up my review on the Firefly.



Overall, I think the firefly can be use as a primary weapon for Nerf wars since it has larger ammo capacity than the Maverick and it also provides darts holder.
And also something that just might distract the opponent.

Well thats all for today.
Hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did in making this review.
Till next time.

Another Nerf Review

Before I start my review, I want to apologize on the poor quality of the image.

Today's review will be on one of my recent purchase Nerf Blasters, the Hornet AS-6. I bought from Miri since its not sold here separately.

Here is the picture of the box.

Now lets see whats inside.
The unveiling of the Hornet AS-6.
Awesome, no assembly required. It can go directly to the battlefield ^^


Lets see what else is in it.

The ammo used by the Hornet. Micro darts or some would refer to suction darts since it uses suction cups on the head.
Just 6 darts given. Better shoot wisely then.


As usual the manual is also given.
A piece of paper with very simple instruction since no assembly required.

In front.

At the back. The picture shows how to use the Hornet.

Now lets get the Hornet out of the box.
They use the industrial bundle instead of the metal strip that was used for the other Nerf.
So to those kids out there please ask for help from your older siblings or parents since you need to use sharp object to cut the bundle.

Now let the inspection begins.

1st, Handling.
It fits nicely in my hands. And its quite heavy.

2nd, Action Mechanism.
Instead of using the cocking mechanism, the Hornet uses pump-action mechanism.
The standard amount of pump-action recommended by the manual are 20 times.


3rd, Loading and Reloading
As you can see, the Hornet dosent require any clips or ammo belt. Instead the darts goes in directly to the barrel. All 6 of it. So reloading can be faster for some or slower.

4th, Trigger Mechanism.
Here the Hornet provides two type of firing option.
Single shot
Multi shot or Salvo.

Since it uses pump-action, it can be said that the Hornet is kinda like an automatic weapon for it dosent require any more pump-action until all darts have been fired.

The video below will demonstrate the single shot and multi shot. The video below is not mine and I will not take any credit from it.



Overall I would say this is an awesome gun but I dont recommend it as your primary weapon in a Nerf war because of its pump-action mechanism. More suitable as a secondary Nerf.

Well thats all form me.

Hope you guys enjoyed it as I did in making the review.

Till next time.
