Nerf Mega Centurion Flying Disc

I opened up this gun and used it for a while with my friend, we had no problems what so ever (we are 16 and 17 years old) and we fired around 30 shots. I went in and used it some more around 60 more shots and had ZERO problems. When I ordered the gun I saw that the reviews weren't very good, and a lot of people said that it broke in 15 minutes to two days. But, around 85% of those reviews were people that gave the gun to kids from the ages of 8-9. THIS GUN IS NOT MADE FOR KIDS UNDER 12. i can see this gun breaking easily if u dont pay careful attention to cocking the gun and putting the darts in the clip. Simply, the gun is WAY to long for a little kid to use.PROS-Extremely Fun to shoot-very long range-Looks bad ass (for a nerf gun)-Overall, great nerf gunCONS-DO NOT GIVE TO LITTLE KIDS THE GUN WILL BREAK.-Some inaccurate (but most nerf guns fire very similarly in accuracy)

I got this for my nephew for his birthday. I saw some guy complain about a lack of power, was he trying to kill birds with it or something? My nephew shot it in the house and I immediately thought "What did I do?" It shot surprisingly fast to me, but I guess that all depends on your expectations. He got me with it shooting out of his bedroom window to the driveway, probably a solid 20 yards. He was happy with it and enjoyed his nerf war with his friends.

Before i got the centurion i decided to do some research and read reviews of what people have said. I found both good reviews and bad reviews. The good reviews basically praised the caliber and power of the gun. The bad reviews are a little more common though. Here's why. After shooting the gun about twenty times, i experienced the fabled "stuck in half prime" malfunction. no matter how i fiddled with the bolt i couldn't get it to go all the way forward. Frustrated (I was prepared for this type of malfunction though and so i had my screwdriver ready), I opened the gun up and took a look at the internals. After about two minuets of diagnosing the problem i was able to find the source of the jam. Hasbro had installed a lock to prevent the bolt from slamming forward if you weren't able to chamber a round. This lock however (i have no clue how) managed to stay activated after the prime and was therefore blocking the return of the bolt. To fix this problem, I removed the small little piece that was preventing the handle from traveling forward. It is located inside the jam door on the right side of the blaster. Once that was removed it has fired flawlessly every time(except for failed dart feeds).The darts however are another story. I like that Nerf is experimenting with new designs, but the materials need to be improved. I have already destroyed 6 darts, both from jams and just regular loading. The problem is the dart walls are too thin at the tip and when loaded they are compressed and bent. This is the cause for most of my jams. If they would reinforce the inside a little farther down from the tip of the dart it would likely help this problem.All of that being said however, I still love this thing. I've been waiting for a "sniper rifle" like this for some time, since the longshot was a big letdown to me. On a further note i was able to also remove the locks that kept the barrel from being removed. You simply have to remove two screws and two pieces from where the barrel attachment comes in. The lock that prevents the magazine from being fed into the blaster without the attachment is also easy to remove or glue down.So basically if you're familiar with taking these things apart and working on them this is a fun gun to work on. However, do not get this if you don't plan on taking it apart or buying extra darts. You can buy 10 for around 7 dollars. For any of you that had trouble with this gun I hope this helped.

Nerf has been stepping up their game of late, and this isn't an exception. The Centurion is big, powerful, and makes very satisfying noises. Distance-wise it almost lives up to the claims on the box (as most Nerf blasters do), and while it isn't quite as accurate as you might expect, it isn't half as bad as some other blasters. The new MEGA darts are relatively good, although they seem like they will wear out faster than the Elite Streamlines that the rest of the N-Strike blasters currently available do. Fortunately ammunition isn't too difficult to find. Can't wait to see the rest of the blasters in the MEGA series.

This is an awesome nerf gun, and my son wanted it for his 11th birthday. Usually prices are the best on Amazon, so I ordered it on prime for $75. It showed up and was perfect, however the day before his birthday I saw the same nerf gun (and there were several) at Target for $50. My bad, I guess I paid a "collector" price. However, my son was thrilled, the gun works great and I learned to make sure I check a little better when price shopping.

Another awesome rifle by Nerf. A really powerful feel when you fire those massive darts fly. The arms of the gun don't attach very well which causes them to fall off fairly frequently, but unless you're really wanting to use them. You won't. A great Nerf weapon nonetheless. Does come in a large box, though. A very large box. An incredibly large box. So prepare your local UPS delivery man for that.
