Nitron!

Still can't find my video camera to make the review videos of the proton however i came to see my girlfriend for a few days and look what i was surprised to find brought for me when we got back to her hall :D


Its a Nerf Vortex Nitron and this is a tank! I have been playing with it in my girlfriends hall and i'm quite impressed!
So lets do a really quick review and ill post an updated review once its seen some action!

Lets start off with the look and feel of the blaster the front half of the blaster looks pretty damn cool however, I find that the back half where the batteries go looks kinda boring with not much going on, when you have the batteries inserted into the blaster it gives the whole thing a really nice weight that feels comfortable in your shoulder and in your hands. The clip system for the vortex series is nice and easy, all you have to do it push down the previous disk and slide in another one with no hassle at all, the clip release trigger is easily reached with your thumb, and like the proton its on both sides for left or right handedness. It doesn't even feel like your holding the acceleration trigger down because of its shape and placement, I like this as it feels really comfy to grip the blaster. The range is outstanding i've been shooting it down a hall way and through a kitchen which is aprox 30-40ft before the disks hit the wall so i'm assuming it goes alot further than this. so far ive had only one jam with this blaster and after trying to work out why the motors weren't starting and removing the clip about 4 time i noticed that a disk had got stuck just above the clip which was very easily removed took all of about 2 seconds.

All in all an amazing blaster cant wait to use this at the club it will most likely make an incredible primary weapon in our wars!

  1. Thanks for the review Mat, this is definitely something I will get to add to my Vortex cache.

    Generally I like the whole sci-fi/futuristic look and feel of the Vortex range.

    Keep it up!

    1. definitely a must get for the prices I've seen at on Amazon and in various toy stores, must admit i'm loving the bright green and orange colour scheme that they have going on with most of the vortex blasters.

      thanks for the support, Mat
