Vigilon

Picked up one of these cheap in a local toy store lets take a look



The Nerf Vortex Vigilon

Looks awesome lots of bright orange and with a dash of green grey and black to top it all off, the design of this blaster is great! as with every Vortex Blaster i've come across so far the tray release is on both sides for left or right handedness, or even a sneaky duel wield, taking 5 disks in the slide down tray, (although if you pull back the mechanism you can fit another disk in before firing, and its easy to slide a 6th disk into the slot however the last dick will have a tendency to jam) you can easily take out your opponent in much the same style that the Maverik does for N-strike blasters.

(The disks can be easily slid into the blaster all 5 at a time, saving the time it takes to load each disk one by one) 

As usual with Nerf Blasters for the size it has a really nice weight to it but its most definitely easier to hold the Vigilon with both hands one on the trigger and one under the end of the barrel (the Orange bit at the front, grip the bottom for better stability) the disk fly out the barrel slowly but glide for insane distances (not really been able to test the exact range but fired down my GF's hall at uni and hit the other side of her kitchen about 30-40ft)

Definitely would make a great side arm due to the ease of reloading, if the blaster took a few more disks (maybe 10-15 (i know wouldn't ever happen)) i would consider using this as a primary weapon however until then i think ill use a Nitron with this as my Side arm.

  1. Good review man, and I agree - we need more 10-15 disc Vortex blasters. Hopefully the next gen have this in mind.

    Keep it up!
