It's all very well that we're showing you the latest new and upcoming blasters, but how do they perform in "real" world situations? If you're wanting more than just info on what goes on in my apartment, you'll be happy to know that today's post is brought to you by the friendly folks at the Canberra and Southern NSW Dart Tag crew; Neil's very much the man in the know when it comes to organising outdoor wars and has graciously taken the time to write up his experiences with the upcoming Nerf Dart Tag Swarmfire and the Speedload 6. How does he fare? Check it after the jump.

Dart Tag Swarmfire: Official Manual

Pages 1 + 2 of the official Swarmfire manual

When our bud Neil from the Canberra and Southern NSW Dart Tag Crew (Gawd someone come up with a better..or at least..shorter name! Clear Deploy up for grabs.. come on.. dowit!) picked up his own Swarmfire, he was presented with not just the blaster (like when I acquired mine) but also with the new dart tag darts and an actual official manual. Sooo.. in keeping with the whole "sharing is caring", he's shared it with me, and in turn, i share it with you all.

There's not much here that you wouldn't already know from our previous posts, but at least now.. it's from the official manual which gives it more cred. Especially those who are still doubtful on whether or not these blasters are actually Nerf. Retards.

In case you forgot: Nerf Swarmfire!

It was only a few months ago we brought you news of the Nerf Dart Tag Swarmfire, but with all the hype over the past week with the Quick 16 and 6 round pistol, you'd think the Swarmfire was old forgotten news:)

Sooo.. here's a quick reminder:P

Dart Tag Swarm Fire: Streamline Dart fail!

Swarmfire armed with Streamlines,Whistlers + Dart Tag ammo. Not all of them are gonna fire though,

Neil, from the Canberra and Southern NSW Dart Tag crew popped in this afternoon for a test fire of our much hyped Nerf Dart Tag Swarm Fire blaster. It's a great fully automatic piece with a 20 round capacity, but the interesting thing we discovered today is it DOESN'T shoot Clip System Streamline darts. Nada. Zip.

The darts don't seem to slide in all the way; they  seem to jut out more than the whistlers or sucker darts. When we tried them, all that happened was a whole lot of noise as the barrel rotated and nothing came out.

It's not a big deal for me, but just something to consider when this bad boy is eventually released.

Swarmfire in full graphic designed font! Official:)

Swarmfire and a new looking blaster. Sorta raider-ish.. but not..

Our man in Taiwan (I'm gonna have to give him a name soon!) has sent through some pretty interesting information on the upcoming Dart Tag series. First up, for the doubters, you can clearly see "SWARMFIRE" in the corner, so that's about as official as we can get for now.

Secondly, check out the blaster wielded by our dude in the barrel.. Looks like that's a new blaster right there waiting to happen...

"Dart Tag line is going to be very different than the N-strike line. When N-stirke went for military and modular and standard clip fed, dart tag thrives on making the most different blasters. Therefore the new dart tag blasters look like clip-fed, but the clip is built-in, so no fast reload, but firing mechanism actually works like clip system."


More to come as we find out more!
