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). 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

To be perfectly honest, I was skeptical going into this. 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.I have a feeling this could mark the start of something big, too; the tech has a lot of promise, and I can absolutely see it replacing the likes of the Rival or Mach ranges where pros are concerned. 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. TO AVOID EYE INJURY: WARNING: Do not aim at eyes or face.

The Nerf Pro Gelfire Legion sees velocities in the same range as the Mythic; I averaged 132fps. For a simple setup (no hop-up), accuracy was decent enough in terms of hitting a human sized target. Slamfire is less accurate, but also much a lot of fun to use. In addition, the shaking inherent in priming the blaster keeps ammo feeding quite well, at least until you reach the very end. There are two Rival/Hyper rails on the blaster. One sits under the barrel, the other is placed at the bottom of the grip. We have yet to see a use for them, though. At some point, I’d hope Hasbro made attachments to go with the product line. Spare hopper holders, for instance. The safety sits under the trigger. 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 Gelfire blasters deliver superior performance to ignite your competitive advantage and break the boundaries of battle!

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.
