Nerf Pro Gelfire Mythic Blaster, 1,600 Gelfire Rounds, Hopper, Rechargeable Battery, Eyewear

Product Information

To be perfectly honest, I was skeptical going into this. The Nerf Pro Gelfire Mythic sounded too good to be true; those pellets make a lot of grand claims that I wasn't sure they could cash, and wouldn't it all get gunked up anyway if we left the blaster lying around somewhere over the weekend? It had the makings of a well-intentioned disaster. If you're on the fence about this blaster, don't be - the Nerf Pro Gelfire Mythic is a real achievement that'll impress on almost every front. It won't be suitable for younger kids because they may not have the patience to set up its pellets properly, and there's definitely room for them to be misused if they're firing at close range, but the rest of us are in for a treat.

When coupled with a battery that gradually becomes less effective over a few hours of use (you'll definitely need to charge it after each session if you want the Gelfire Mythic to remain at its best), this thing isn't quite perfect.NERF PRO GELFIRE BLASTERS: They fire hydrated rounds that burst on impact and deliver high-performance blasting to ignite your competitive advantage. Ages 14 and up However, I came across a curious problem. There were a relatively high number of double shots during testing – firing two gel balls still gets velocities over 100fps, but the range and accuracy is hindered. This occurred around once every five or six shots, but seems to be based on how fast you prime the blaster. Slower primes will leave the path from hopper to barrel open longer, leading to that extra round loading. Internals I used the Nerf Pro Gelfire Mythic extensively over the course of a few weeks to get a good sense of how it performed. That included both range tests and trials of what it felt like to be hit with the rounds at various distances. I also left the pellets alone over several days both in the hopper and a separate container to see what would happen to them. Basically? Watch this space. It's the start of an exciting new era. How we tested the Nerf Pro Gelfire Mythic

Mentioning hoppers…the Legion is compatible with the Mythic hopper and barrel attachment! Interestingly, the Mythic hopper has a loose fit, while the newer, smaller hopper has a tight fit. The Mythic hopper stays in place, of course, but that was always an annoyance. So better tolerances on new hoppers is quite welcome. Performance

Internals

The Nerf Pro Gelfire Mythic has a dial that lets you set the fire-rate at single shot or semi-auto (Image credit: Future) I have a feeling this could mark the start of something big, too; the tech has a lot of promise, and I can absolutely see it replacing the likes of the Rival or Mach ranges where pros are concerned.

FIRES UP TO 10 ROUNDS PER SECOND*: Select full auto or semi auto mode and fires up to 10 rounds per second for extreme rate of fire and maximum battle overload in outdoor games BURST INTO BATTLE WITH NERF PRO GELFIRE BLASTERS: The blasters fire hydrated Gelfire rounds that burst on impact and deliver high-performance blasting to ignite your competitive advantage. Ages 14 and upStill, those are niggles more than anything else. For the most part, the Gelfire Mythic is a delight. Actually, I can't get over how well it works. Bravo, Nerf - bravo. Should you buy the Nerf Pro Gelfire Mythic? Do not modify blaster. Impact from rounds may cause temporary marks on skin. Ages 14 and up. This is not a toy. Read instructions before use for important safety information. In addition, the range on these things is above and beyond what you'd see from most other Nerf products, be it the Elite range or Fortnite Nerf guns. I was able to hit the third or fourth-storey windows of our office building without much difficulty. Even though blasters like the Nerf Minecraft Pillager's Crossbow boasted a decent shot, it's nothing compared to this. Gelfire blasters deliver superior performance to ignite your competitive advantage and break the boundaries of battle! (Each sold separately, subject to availability)

Compact Form

The Nerf Pro Gelfire Legion sees velocities in the same range as the Mythic; I averaged 132fps. For a simple setup (no hop-up), accuracy was decent enough in terms of hitting a human sized target. Slamfire is less accurate, but also much a lot of fun to use. In addition, the shaking inherent in priming the blaster keeps ammo feeding quite well, at least until you reach the very end. There are two Rival/Hyper rails on the blaster. One sits under the barrel, the other is placed at the bottom of the grip. We have yet to see a use for them, though. At some point, I’d hope Hasbro made attachments to go with the product line. Spare hopper holders, for instance. The safety sits under the trigger. WARNING: Do not aim at eyes or face.

It's slap-bang where your sights would be.
