You’re paying for a lot of unnecessary plastic, and once you’ve started to reach the end of the priming motion, the lack of shell underneath leads to some flexing of the sides. Whereas Mega blasters often had large writing on them, this has an even larger logo “breaking” out of the shell.

It is a spring-powered blaster that is front-loaded, holds one dart in the chamber, and two in storage slots below it.The only reason I am giving it four stars is it comes with so little ammo and it can be hard to find extra. These massive blasters add a new element of fun to the foam dart world and are reasonably prized for their size. You also lose a bit of power from things not being lined up perfectly yet (the cylinder is literally aligning as the dart fires). The double crusher is perfect for Nerf shotgun fans that want to have some intimidating power in a close-range battle. This spring-powered blaster features a smart air restrictor system allowing one dart to shoot at a time.

Complete with open packaging to show off the blaster, it hopes to impress you with just how large the barrel is for the ammo you’re firing.

Using slam fire will let you shoot slightly faster, but with only a two-dart capacity, it isn’t super effective. 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.
