Considering it’s a rifle, the AlphaHawk is very light, but in a good way – even the littlest kids could carry it around all day. It feels very comfortable in the hands, too, with a grip that’s a decent size and shape for just about everyone, and a nicely shaped foregrip for your steadying hand.

Look at the AlphaHawk as just any other NERF blaster and it doesn’t look terribly good value; it’s just a five-shot springer with a fancy-looking body. It does look really nice, though, and it’s great to hold, as well as being light. The ten AccuStrike darts – which perform so much better than standard NERF darts – do help to level things out a bit, but not quite enough to justify the high RRP. Pull the trigger and an AccuStrike dart flies out straight and true. What sets the AccuStrike ammo apart from standard NERF darts is that they do that consistently. You can actually group shots just inches apart from 20ft away, and with much less chance of a random ‘flyer’. They’re a big improvement on the standard darts – although still not quite as accurate as the golf-ball-shaped NERF Rival rounds, and with a less flat trajectory. Talking of accessory rails, there’s that one on the top rear, and a shorter one on the bottom at the very front. Perfectly set up for a scope up top and a bi-pod down below, eh? Nerf Guns, or Nerf Blasters, are toy dart gun products owned by Hasbro that fire ammunition such as darts, discs, or balls constructed from foam. The first Nerf Blaster, the Nerf Blast-A-Ball, was released in 1989. Let me start off by saying AWESOME! This Nerf sniper rifle looks cool, shoots accurately, and shoots far! I personally like the iron sights on this better than any other Nerf gun I've looked down before. I'm going to list pros and cons below.

Once you get used to them, that whole reloading process becomes natural. Just press the release button, push the cylinder from the right side so that it swings out on the left, and push your darts into the chambers from the front.

Accuracy based on test data comparing precision and repeatability of darts fired under controlled conditions at target 30 feet (9 meters) away. See Nerf.com for details. Ability to hit target will vary depending on user's skill, dart condition, and other factors. The AccuStrike Series introduces new AccuStrike Darts that are designed to be more accurate and have less spread than standard Elite Darts. This is proved by comparing several dart designs. [2] History [ ] Right, so let’s move on to what’s special about those AccuStrike darts. They have the same tubular foam body, but the rubber tip has been redesigned to have vanes like a turbine. These presumably make the dart spin a little as it flies, helping it achieve greater accuracy. Get ready to battle with the Nerf AccuStrike Series AlphaHawk blaster! Load 5 darts into the drum and slide the bolt to prime the blaster for firing. Sight under controlled conditions at a target 30 feet (9 meters) away and pull the trigger to fire 1 of the most accurate Nerf darts. Prime and fire again to launch another dart. At the very end of this non-barrel is an open sight. There isn’t a corresponding rear sight, but you can use the top accessory rail to align left/right, and elevation is so dependent on the distance to target with NERF darts that sights aren’t that useful anyway.

I have a real soft spot for the AlphaHawk’s design. It’s like a sniper/target rifle from the future, but with more manageable proportions than a model such as the NERF Mega Centurion. The AlphaHawk takes five darts in its revolving cylinder, which is a swing-out design like the one on the ever-popular Elite Strongarm. There’s a button on the left-hand side of the blaster that you press in and then you can push the cylinder out from the other side. The AccuStrike Series AlphaHawk blaster has a 5-dart, revolving drum so battlers can unleash 5 darts in a row without reloading. The blaster comes with 10 darts from the AccuStrike Series. Strike with confidence in Nerf battles and blast darts designed for greater accuracy. The AccuStrike Series later was given a release under the N-Strike Mega series, with the Thunderhawk and the Mega AccuStrike Darts. It would also be released under the ULTRA series in 2021, with the AccuStrike ULTRA Dart, although there have so far been no dedicated ULTRA blasters released under the AccuStrike Series. Strike with confidence! The AccuStrike Series features darts designed for greater accuracy. Hit the mark with the precision of the most accurate Nerf darts. The AlphaHawk blaster comes with 10 darts from the AccuStrike Series.Had the N-Strike Mega series not become it own series, it would have been the second sub-series of a sub-series. The first was the Code Red Collection, which was a sub-series of Rebelle Secrets & Spies. A nice touch is that Hasbro supplies 10 darts with the AlphaHawk, not five. Normally all you get is enough to load the blaster once. The ‘barrel’ is quite unusual, in that it doesn’t make any pretence at being an actual barrel – it’s very wide open at the sides, more like some kind of shroud. This doesn’t make any difference to performance, though, since a proper barrel on a NERF blaster would just add friction, reducing range and power. This Accustrike Alphahawk set is an ideal gift for kids eight years plus. Hours of fun watching and exploring keep the kids busy and entertained. It is an ideal gift for your child, or grandchild for any occasion, Christmas or b-day. CAUTION: Do not aim at eyes or face. TO AVOID INJURY: Use only darts designed for this product. Do not modify darts or dart blaster.
