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.
