Nerf N-Strike Mega Mastodon Blaster with Amazon Basics Batteries

Product Information

Sure, it isn’t super-long-ranged, but the flat-ish trajectory out to medium distances more than makes up for that. By partnering with such a popular YouTube channel like Dude Perfect, they were able to create a lot of hype. You feel like you should be storming through the breeched hull of an alien space hulk, or pumping explosive rounds into a jungle encampment so your sniper buddies can pick people off in the ensuing chaos. 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. Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest.

Overall- Moderately fair easy with aiming while loading is super simple and needs very little effort. Hasbro is great about cross-pollinating their brands, and licensing for Nerf is something that’s really ramped-up in recent years,” Zahn explains. Launched in 2003, the products in the Nerf N-Strike series are among the most notable Nerf Blasters. It features the use of a carry handle; it has three tactical rails: two long ones on top of the blaster and a short one below, in front of the cylinder.

The Mega Mastodon was released in a Costco exclusive value pack that included the blaster itself, seventy-two Mega Darts, a shoulder strap, and instructions. Not only are they expensive, but they’re not the type of batteries that you’re likely to have just lying around in a drawer – especially not six of them. If you do elevate the barrel to increase the distance, though, you add only around 20 feet, where you can sometimes get another 50 feet from Elite darts. Clearpay lends you a fixed amount of credit so you can pay for your purchase over 4 instalments, due every 2 weeks. I found it easiest to ditch the shoulder strap and hold the Mastodon a little in front of me to get a better aim – at waist level, though, since this isn’t a blaster you’ll be getting up to your cheek for sighting.

The Mastodon is the third largest Nerf blaster ever, being succeeded by the Prometheus MXVIII-20K and the Titan CS-50.This series is designed to resemble real-life munitions and offers customizable attachments, including scopes, shields, and barrel extensions.

Released in 2013, the MEGA line featured an assortment of blasters that launched specified whistle darts more than 100 feet. Overall – The choice of batteries is a bit upsetting but then the whirring of the motor makes us feel better, as there’s no issue of destroying being stealthy. The Nerf MEGA Mastodon blaster boasts incredible rapid-fire speeds to send MEGA Whistler darts screaming through the air from its integrated 24-dart drum.Waist level can provide better results as MEGA Mastodon is not a sighting at cheek height type of blaster. To help carry this battery-powered behemoth, there’s a swivel handle that slots into the top, just aft of the cylinder. The Mega Mastodon is named after the extinct animal of the same name; it was given this name most likely because of its size.
