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.
