N-Strike Nerf Stampede ECS Review

Nerf StampedeNerf Stampede

The Nerf Stampede is the Nerf gun all the kids are talking about. Young kids love playing with the Nerf Stampede. I got this gun for my son and he loves it. He is 8 so of course he thinks this is the coolest Nerf gun ever. I am 42 and I wish I had a Nerf gun like this when I was his age. In fact I liked the gun so much that i went online to Amazon and ordered 2 more (1 for me and the other for my wife.) We spend hours with our son outside having huge Nerf wars. Sometimes the neighbors kids join in. My son feels like the Nerf war king when he blasts the neighbors kids with 3 darts a second. Sometimes as an adult its hard to spend time with your kids and do things they enjoy but after buying the Nerf Stampede I am able to spend allot more quality time with my fast growing little boy. Whenever my son seems down or had a bad day at school, My wife and I sneak around and “sabotage” him with darts. He immediately gets a huge grin on his face and runs to get his Nerf Stampede. We then let him sneak up and shoot us. This always seems to brighten up his day. If your a parent you know that when your kid is happy you are happy. It was for all these reasons that I decided to write this Nerf Stampede review. Now enough with all that lets talk about the gun!

Nerf Stampede Review

We own an abundance of Nerf guns from The Longshot (my second favorite) to some old Nerf-type guns I had as a kid. The  Stampede is by far the best Nerf gun around. It is the first full automatic Nerf clip blaster. It has a pop out bi-pod that doubles as a handle. It has a shield that pops on and off very easily. It also comes with 3 Extended Clips and 1 Quick reload clip and 60 darts.

Nerf Stampede Review

Full Auto

The Nerf Stampede ECS is a Fully automatic Nerf rifle. When they say full auto they mean it. This thing fires about 3 bullets per second! That is crazy fast for a Nerf gun. The Stampede Nerf fires so fast that it can fire 4 darts before the first dart reaches its target. This is by far the fastest shooting Nerf-type gun I have ever fired. You really just have to shoot the gun to fully realize just how fun and fast it can be.

Long Range

Most Nerf guns have a very short range. Those lite foam darts don’t seem to go very far or very strait. When it comes to range the Nerf Stampede takes the cake. Out of the 20 or so Nerf guns I have owned in my lifetime only 2 are good enough to be called “long range”. The Nerf Stampede and the Nerf Longshot. The Long shot can shoot slightly farther than the  Stampede but only by a few feet. The Longshot must be pumped between each shot. When it comes to long range accuracy the Nerf Stampede is the obvious winner. The long shot is not nearly as accurate as the Stampede. In fact No Nerf Gun is as accurate as the  Stampede.

Pop-Out Bi-pod

The Stampede Nerf Gun has a Pop-Out bi-pod that also doubles as a handle. When I first saw the handle I thought I wouldn’t like it. I thought it would only get in the way. With the 6 adjustable tactical rails you can put the handle/bi-pod wherever is most comfortable for you or your child. I didn’t think I would use the Bi pod much but I found that it helps stabilize the gun and makes it incredibly accurate. The bi pod just pops out with a push of a button and is just as easy to pop right back into place, out of the way.

Removable Shield

At first glance the Shield on the Nerf Stampede looks stupid. It looks like it would just get in the way and block your site. After putting the shield on I loved it. Alot of people aim for your chest and if you are holding the gun you can easily deflect any oncoming fire. This makes you unstoppable once the Nerf wars start. The shield is so amazing it almost gives you and unfair advantage on everyone around you. If the Full auto and long range wasn’t enough to give you such a advantage

Discount at Amazon.com

When we first bought the Nerf Stampede for our son we went around the all the local toy stores (walmart, target, toys r us, KB Toys) looking for the lowest price. We eventually bought one at walmart (I don’t think walmart sells them anymore.) After taking our first Nerf Stampede home I fell in love with it. So i checked online to see if I could find it cheaper online. I looked at all the major websites (google shopping, yahoo, amazon, eBay, ect) and I was very surprised to find that Amazon.com had the best deal by far. I bought 2 from them and received very fast shipping (2 days) Highly Recommended

Nerf Stampede Range Test

When I first purchased the Nerf Stampede I was surprised by its overall quality. The rate of fire is incredible. The gun is very durable. The thing I noticed most about the Nerf N-Strike Stampede ECS is the incredible range! This thing can shoot so far its unbelievable. They never had nerf guns that could shoot this far when I was growing up.

Range Test

I took my new Nerf gun outside to conduct my range test (because it shoots way to far to do this inside). It was a completely wind free day, so I know the results are accurate. I shot the gun parallel to the ground. I would have gotten much longer range had I shot it at an angle. Whenever you shoot at someone with a Nerf gun you normally shoot strait at them. So I figured it would be better to shoot it parallel to the ground.

After unloading two clips on full auto I had darts that flew over 34 feet! This is incredibly far for a Nerf gun. Not to mention it shoots this far on full auto. I don’t know of any other Full auto Nerf gun capable of shooting that far.

But it doesn’t end there. After a few free mods to the Nerf Stampede I was able to fire the weapon over 65 Feet. If you love Nerf guns I highly recommend you buy the nerf stampede from amazon. With just a few modifications you can have the ultimate Nerf gun. The mods do not  cost anything. Just simple modifications to the weapon its self. check out the video bellow of the modded Nerf stampede

 

Nerf Stampede VS.

nerf stampede vs

The Nerf Stampede is one of the best Nerf guns of all time. Its fully automatic, has super long range and endless possibilitys for upgrades. What more could you ask for.

Some other Nerf guns do come close to the Nerf Stampede so I thought I would make a series of reviews comparing the Nerf stampede to some honorable mentions

Man Turns Nerf Gun into…

Man Turns Nerf Gun into 20,000-Volt Tesla Gun
The year was 1889. The War of the Currents was well underway. At stake: the future of electrical power distribution on planet Earth. With the financial backing of George Westinghouse, Tesla’s AC polyphase system competed for market dominance with Edison’s established (but less efficient) DC system, in one of the ugliest and most epic tales of technological competition of the modern age.More than a hundred years after the dust settled, Matt Fraction and Steven Sanders published The Five Fists of Science: a rollicking graphical retelling of what really happened at the turn of the last century. (Get yourself a copy and read it immediately, unless you’re allergic to AWESOME). On the right is the cover to this fantastic tale of electrical fury.See that dapper fellow in front? That’s a young Mr. Tesla. See what he’s packin’?Yep. Tesla Guns. Akimbo.As I read this fantastic story, gentle reader, certain irrevocable processes were set in motion. The result is my answer to The Problem of Increasing Human Energy: The Tesla Gun. For reals.The Tesla Gun is a hand-held, battery powered lightning machine. It is a spark gap Tesla coil powered by an 18V drill battery. You pull the trigger, and lightning comes out the front.

Nerf950 – Firing a Nerf gun with a Nokia N950

Nerf950 is one of those small projects that arise when a man has too much time on his hands, and has access to a Nerf gun and an arduino…I developed the Nerf950 application in Qt, and is compiled for Harmattan targets – so it should work equally well on the N950 and N9. All together everything took around 40 minutes to put together whilst eating dinner.I’ll probably stick a link on later to the code if anyone would like it, once it’s tidied up a bit. Feel free to reach out if you have any thoughts on the project or would like to know more about other mobile projects I’m involved with :) twitter page: twitter.com/kojacker
