Review: Secret Strike AS-1

This is a summary and review of the Secret Strike AS-1

The Secret Strike AS-1 is an Air System blasters, hence the "AS", and the fact that it has a little pump right under the barrel. This blaster comes packaged with 2 micro darts, yet can only hold one at a time in the barrel. The blaster is very small, yet has a very modern design to it, with curves and engravings everywhere. There are different color variations of this blaster, but the N-Strike one looks the best. Under the blaster is a black hook that can be used to stick the blaster onto your clothing, or vest in a Nerf War. It can also be hooked to other blasters.

The part of the secret strike that I really like is the simplicity of the blaster. By this, I mean that it has such a simple mechanism that offers so much potential. Modding this blaster is extremely easy. Adding a barrel is as simple as gluing it in, and removing an air release is as simple as plugging it with water or glue. I didn't like the feel of the blaster, in that is is very uncomfortable to hold. Also, it requires quite a few pumps to prime the blaster, which is another downside.

Now onto the review. This blaster has an excellent range of about 50 feet if you angle the blaster. For such a small midget cricket, this range is excellent. The firing rate isn't that great, because 10 pumps are required to fire 1 shot, which is absolutely pathetic. This blaster is concealed easily, however its reliability lacks in that the blaster breaks if it is pumped too many times. This blaster fires any dart type, and is relatively accurate. It is extremely cheap, at 5.00 USD.
