It required a bit of leading my target and I did have to use a couple of shots to dial in, but a little practice can go a long way with this blaster both in firing mechanics and reloading.Naturally, as a right-handed person, I hold the Mastodon in my right hand and the rotation mech goes to my right. Speaking of the motordrive, its activation button is in the shape of a secondary trigger below the firing trigger, just as it is on the Elite HyperFire, the Elite Stryfe and other flywheel-powered NERFs. If someone gave me a Mastodon, I’d love it (especially if they gave me a bunch of Mega darts because I don’t have a huge collection of those!

The Mastodon is the third largest Nerf blaster ever, being succeeded by the Prometheus MXVIII-20K and the Titan CS-50. However, others say that it seems to jam after every bullet that's been fired and is a terrible product. I got an average velocity of about 76 feet per second which is higher than other mega blasters and Elites, so you know it shoots harder and further. The volley of darts was usually enough to make folks hide and move, but I always had to keep in mind to keep cover in mind and run for a teammate if I needed to reload, assuming I even had a team.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. The difference is the grip needed because of the accelerator trigger setup on the Mastodon versus the push button on the RhinoFire and the traditional trigger on the Vulcan.

To help carry this battery-powered behemoth, there’s a swivel handle that slots into the top, just aft of the cylinder. Where the Mastodon does excel is that its Mega darts offer a very flat initial trajectory when firing parallel to the ground. The rotating drum needs to be put together in three pieces as you feed it through the main part of the gun. Aunque los disparos, los realicemos de cerca, no hace ningún daño, eso si, aconsejable usar unas gafas protectoras para los ojos.I had no problem transitioning from running/moving/to firing position, or even letting the blaster sit at my hip off the sling. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

But they do jam with bullets intermittently, which doesn't ruin the fun but annoying but not unlike other Nerfs. The 6 D batteries sit in the rear part of the blaster, with the trigger, the accelerator trigger, and the handle. 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. You get an OK spread with the Mastodon, though – it’s accurate to around 20 inches at 20 feet with fresh batteries, which is about the same as the Elite Hyperfire with its teensier Elite darts. For a moment I thought they weren't going to work in our Christmas morning rush - so get them filled before wrapping I would say if presents!Some say that the gun never worked jams the whole time, and that it failed to fire the darts very far at all. Trying to aim the Mastodon well while in full sprint was not the particularly efficient I thought or effective. Another possibility would be to make the pusher motor run slower by supplying it with a lower voltage. Ours keeps jamming, the magazine won't rotate when jammed so need to use a pipe to push the bullet back into the magazine, this has damaged a couple, not sure why they keep jamming its happening on every discharge of a full magazine. I tried some brand new Panasonic batteries I had lying around and the gun failed to fire the darts very far at all.
