Centurion



The Centurion is a sniper rifle blaster. This was Nerf’s first attempt at creating a blaster that actually does what it supposed to do. Nerf claims that the range it up to 100 feet. The blaster is a N-Strike Elite blaster, but it’s under a sub-series call MEGA. When I say MEGA, I mean MEGA. The blaster is the longest blaster Nerf has every sold, coming in at 35 inches. The darts are also four times bigger. The darts have to be bigger so that they can handle the propulsion of the air coming out of the supposedly more powerful plunger system. I’ll tell you now, it doesn’t get anywhere near that range unless everything is perfect; the darts aren’t too soft, there isn’t any wind, you get max efficiency out of the plunger system, and the dart flies straight. This rarely happen. You can expect ranges anywhere from 40 feet (ya...40) to 75 feet flat. I have still yet to hit 100 feet, even at an angle. Maybe it’s the blaster I got, but I’m not happy. The only good thing about this blaster is the bi-pod it comes with. It’s surprisingly well made and very sturdy and is compatible with any other N-Strike blaster that has a tactical rail on the bottom of the blaster.

Out of the box you get the blaster itself, the barrel that you have to attach for the blaster to work, a bi-pod, and 6-dart MEGA clip, and six N-Strike Elite MEGA darts.

Usability
Casual Nerfing:  Chances are your hallway isn’t 75 feet, even then, because it’s big it’s hard to run around with if you need to move. Also, cause it’s so long, shooting around a corner is nearly impossible. But it shoots a dart so I guess you could use it.

Rating: 4/10

War Games: It has a purpose; it just doesn’t serve it well.

Rating: 5/10

Humans vs Zombies:  This is the last blaster you want to use to defend yourself with. Its big, has a low rate of fire, a low dart capacity, and because it uses a different kind of dart, you will have to collect the darts at some point. The only advantage is scare factor. When a zombie first sees it, they’ll be more cautious, but once they see how bad the blaster is, you better run. The only reason it’s not getting a 0/10 is because it can shoot a dart, and that’s it. Also, the rate of fire is even slower than a Retaliator because the draw length for the bolt is so long; it takes about a full second to properly chamber a dart.

Rating: 1/10

The blaster itself doesn’t live up to its expectations. It’s cool looking and it fires a dart. It’s serves only one purpose, but it doesn’t serve it well

FINAL RATING: 3.3/10
