En cuanto a la fabricación, se ve de buena calidad, y buenos acabados, aunque es todo en plástico, este es muy resistente, pensado para los golpes que pueda sufrir durante su uso. I ended up having double feeds a few times trying to shoot a few darts at a time, and had to dig through the jam door to rip out a dart or push it back into the chamber. The Mega Mastodon is named after the extinct animal of the same name; it was given this name most likely because of its size. Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest.

The only things left for me to do are to (1) add a fuse to protect my lipo (for when the pusher motor burns out), (2) carve out some plastic from the battery tray to make space for the lipo, and (3) bring it to a war for field testing.

The blaster is significant, and so to ship it, Hasbro has created it in multiple parts, which you will need to assemble.

Both were difficult to get started - need to make sure batteries are secure and screwed lid on tight! Some say that the gun never worked jams the whole time, and that it failed to fire the darts very far at all. The firing rate of three darts per second is fast enough to offer good covering fire or to storm a position. If I get another Mastodon, I’ll see if that works, or hopefully I can get an answer out of the design team. The difference is the grip needed because of the accelerator trigger setup on the Mastodon versus the push button on the RhinoFire and the traditional trigger on the Vulcan.To help carry this battery-powered behemoth, there’s a swivel handle that slots into the top, just aft of the cylinder. Also, it goes without saying revving your motors before firing is a good practice to have, but the rev time seems a bit faster with the Mastodon. If you’ve used any other flywheel blasters it works the same way except it’s MEGA which is somehow cooler!

Speaking of the motordrive, its activation button is in the shape of a secondary trigger below the firing trigger, just as it is on the Elite HyperFire, the Elite Stryfe and other flywheel-powered NERFs. The Mega Mastodon is a Nerf blaster that was released in fall of 2016 under the N-Strike Mega series. My left-handed friend didn’t find it supremely comfortable trying to use the Mastodon the right-hand oriented way, though. Features, N-Strike Elite blasters and Elite darts deliver the ultimate in blaster performance Mega Series blasters feature Mega Whistler Darts that scream through the air Defend against a zombie invasion with Zombie Strike blasters Ignite the night with Fire Vision sports gear that glows when thrown.

What happens is the firing action, the rotation, and the feed gets out of sync if you try to group your shots and don’t time a stop right, you will stop the cycle mid-feed of a dart, or in between the chambers of the blaster, so you’ll suffer a misfire. A nylon shoulder strap can be clipped onto moulded rings at the front and back, and is adjustable for length – but its use is entirely optional. Yes, it takes big batteries, but they last a decent time as you are only using power when the trigger is down. There are two strap points, one in front of the top tactical rail and one at the end of the blaster, which the packaged shoulder strap can be clipped onto.

The ratings/reviews displayed here may not be representative of every listing on this page, or of every review for these listings. Once the dart pusher starts to extend, the pusher switch forces the pusher motor to keep running until the cycle is complete and the pusher is retracted. With its unique style, this NERF N-Strike Mega Mastodon Blaster is perfect for other outdoor toys and activities. I tried some brand new Panasonic batteries I had lying around and the gun failed to fire the darts very far at all. One trick I want to work on with this blaster is reloading empty chambers as they cycle around (using the strap to act as the stabilizing hand while firing, and my free hand to reload.Today, we have millions of users a month from around the world, and assess more than 1,000 products a year. But like I said, this blaster is full auto and truly excels when you rock and roll with that 24 dart payload. Running and gunning isn’t incredibly easy with the this blaster, if that’s surprising (which it shouldn’t be) not like with more rifle and pistol oriented blasters like the Rapidstrike or Firestrike, for obvious reasons. A shoulder strap means that, even though the Mastodon is massive, it can be carried around even by NERF warriors at the younger end of its eight-plus age recommendation.
