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. TO AVOID EYE INJURY: WARNING: Do not aim at eyes or face.

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. 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.

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. Basically? Watch this space. It's the start of an exciting new era. How we tested the Nerf Pro Gelfire Mythic 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.

BURST INTO BATTLE WITH NERF PRO GELFIRE BLASTERS: The blasters fire hydrated rounds that burst on impact and deliver high-performance blasting to ignite your competitive advantage. Ages 14 and up 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 ROUND CAPACITY INTEGRATED HOPPER: The Nerf Gelfire blaster has an integrated hopper with 100-round capacity to unleash battle overload in highly competitive games. Outdoor use recommended

That did raise an interesting problem I hadn't anticipated, though. Because these pellets come in bags of 5,000 and the hopper can only fit 800 at a time, you'll need to find somewhere to store the rest. And seeing as these rounds take a few hours to hydrate, younger Nerf warriors will likely find the wait frustrating (yes, I'm aware it's rated for ages 14 and up, but let's be realistic).
