If you're like me searching for stocking fillers before cyber monday deals are over then maybe here's something for you. Don't be fooled by what appears to be a foldable hot glue gun, this blaster packs a pretty decent punch at 120 feet per second which is about double the performance of your standard Nerf blaster. It comes packaged with half length darts which fly more accurately too.

Yes but they fly with great inaccuracy - best to fire half-length/stefans if you want to do some target shooting.
Yes it's compatible with standard length Nerf darts. Though personally I wouldn't recommend using those at all. Grab a box of green and blue "waffle head" darts from Kmart, they come in a box of 100 for 8 bucks. Link
Thanks for posting - Is it worth chopping these or keep at stock length?
They work fine as is, I use them with a Villainator and it's accurate enough for indoor plinking. You can try cutting a few and testing if they work better but I've only used Dart Zone's half-lengths personally.
I'd chop them if you want more FPS but it doesn't significantly increase accuracy. Thought for consistency I'd just buy half length bamboo darts (which I find superior to any regular foam dart - other than the Sabre Tdart)
Nerf Pro Sender / Torrent are going for $56 / $77 delivered too:

Siren Maulr looks good as well:
The Maulr has some issues - especially with ergonomics (not great for adult or even child hands), the Gameface Trion was on sale under $90 not too long ago and that's a far better choice (great customisability with a buffer tube stock and compatible with any airsoft/AR15 platform grips, plus a picatinny foregrip)
The Nerf Pro lineup also has some issues - poor magazine compatibility, quality control issues, also poor ergonomics.

I just wouldn't bother with any of those and spend the bit extra - unfortunately the sale has ended
https://www.amazon.com.au/Game-Face-GFTBR-Competition-Level-…Yeah, I'm personally not invested in angled mags, so not bothered with the Sender / Torrent.
I did see the Trion on sale recently, but I'm a sucker for a bullpup (hence the interest in the Maulr), and managed to pick up an Xshot Longshot for $49 on Amazon a few months ago, which I'm more than happy with :)
I was close to buying the Longshot but heard about all the plunger issues and decided not to grab one. Glad to hear it worked out for you!
There's a new prerelease XShot Fury X which has apparently remedied the plunger issues. Shoots 140-150fps and accepts half length (only) straight Talon style mags. Definitely keeping an eye on this.

Can this use standard NERF darts?
