Russell HollyAug. 25, 2014 1:39 pmWhich is better: Nerf or BoomCo?

Whether you’re equipping an office for staff-wide warfare every Friday afternoon or looking for the next great dart shooter for your kids, you’ll notice?that there’s no shortage of options at your local toy store you. Setting aside the budget toys and those little disc shooters that are never as awesome as you think they’re going to be, your options boil down to one of two brands. The question you have to answer — knowing full well that once you have answered this question with money there’s no turning back — is whether to stick with the Nerf blasters or take a chance on Mattel’s new BoomCo weaponry.

Nerf?and BoomCo blasters have a number of things in common. They are mostly harmless, a ton of fun, and relatively inexpensive when considering?the base models. The blasters themselves are both futuristic plastic shells for a basic air propellant system. You pull the trigger, and a rush of air pushes the dart out of the chamber and hurtling toward whoever you decide is in need of a little excitement. Nerf has been around for a lot longer, so the sheer number of blasters you can get dramatically outpaces BoomCo, but don’t let that stop you from appreciating just how impressive each of Mattel’s 10 blasters are. From the built-in shields to the fact that none of the BoomCo blasters require batteries, Mattel has clearly placed focus on delivering a new experience. It may just be because they are the new guys, but its hard not to be impressed by the BoomCo hardware.

Perhaps more importantly than the weapons themselves are the darts they fire. Everyone knows what a Nerf dart looks like: the iconic hollow foam shaft tipped with either a suction cup or a rubberized tip that may or may not whistle as it flies through the air. The darts are great, and last for a while as long as they aren’t stepped on or chewed up by a pet. Once a Nerf dart is damaged, however, it never quite fires right again. BoomCo darts look very similar at first glance, but they are wildly different from Nerf’s offerings.

BoomCo darts are made of thin plastic shafts, topped with proprietary “Smart Stick” tips. These tips impact in a similar fashion to Nerf darts, unless they hit a BoomCo panel. These panels cause the darts to stick, which is why they are built into most of the blasters as shields. They feel fragile, but hold their shape incredibly well. When stepped on, the plastic darts can occasionally be reshaped, but their survival rate isn’t really much better than a Nerf dart.

Nerf’s age and ecosystem gives it?a unique advantage over just about anyone else in the space. The people who have been using Nerf hardware for a long time have figured out how to optimize their devices by modifying them. Sometimes these changes are simple, removing guides to reduce jamming or adjusting clips so they hold more darts. In more extreme cases, The innards have been replaced with more powerful fans powered by more capable batteries that increase the rate of fire and power. This means there are people out there who have detailed tutorials on how to take your safe-for-kids $40 blaster and turn it into a machine that encourages the people standing in the crosshairs to wear protective goggles.

This level of modification isn’t possible with BoomCo blasters, and whether or not that is a good thing is entirely up to you. The Mattel hardware relies entirely on pumped air, which means you’ll have to pump your tank back up just like you would in the middle of a water gun fight. The upside to this is that many of the larger BoomCo blasters have clips that are designed to fire all of the darts with a single pull of the trigger, emptying the air tank and sending upwards of 20 darts sailing towards your opponents. There’s never any batteries that need replacing, which also means the often obnoxiously loud motors found in some of the Nerf blasters are missing as well.

So, which is better? I think for anyone picking these up for kids or planning to play with kids, the BoomCo blasters are a better idea. The designs are fun, the “Smart Stick” tips are borderline magical, and the whole line of blasters are uniquely exciting. If you already have Nerf blasters, or you are very interested in modding your hardware for optimal office warfare, you should probably stick with Nerf. For everyone else out there, however, the BoomCo blasters are inexpensive and offer a great overall experience.

Nerf和BoomCo哪個更好

羅素hollyaug。25、2014 pmwhich 1:39更好：削弱或boomco？
你是否# 8217；再每星期五下午或尋找下一個偉大的射飛鏢你孩子的員工廣泛的作戰裝備的辦公室，你會註意到# 8217；？這與# 8217；無缺在你當地的玩具店你。留出預算的玩具和那些小圓盤的射手，永遠冇有你認為他們# 8217棒；再將你的選擇歸結為一個品牌。你必須回答與# 8212問題；他完全知道，一旦你已經回答了這個問題#錢有8217；冇有退路和# 8212；是否堅持練功放炮或以美泰和# 8217機會；新boomco武器。

< P >削弱？和boomco炮有一些共同的東西。他們大多是無害的，一噸的樂趣，而且比較便宜的考慮？基礎模型。該炮本身都是未來塑料殼的基本空氣推進係統。你扣動扳機，一股空氣推動飛鏢室出來，走嚮無論你決定在一個小的刺激需要。削弱已經在很長的時間，所以你可以得到大大超過boomco放炮的數量，但不# 8217；不要讓這阻止你欣賞是多麼的令人印象深刻的每個美泰# 8217；10炮。從內置的盾牌上的boomco放炮都不需要電池，美泰已經明確將專註於提供一個全新的體驗。這可能是因為他們是新來的家夥，但很難不被boomco硬件印象深刻。

也許更重要的是比武器本身是飛鏢他們火。每個人都知道一個nerf飛鏢的樣子：標誌性的空心泡沫軸尖用吸盤或橡膠提示可能會或可能不會吹口哨就飛到空中。飛鏢是偉大的，和最後一段時間，隻要他們不與# 8217；T踩到或被寵物。一旦一個nerf省道受損，然而，它冇有火好了。boomco飛鏢乍看上去很相似，但他們是從削弱和# 8217完全不同；祭。

boomco飛鏢是用薄塑料軸，加上專有的和# 8220；聰明的堅持與# 8221；提示。這些建議的影響以類似的方式來削弱飛鏢，除非他們打boomco麵闆。這些麵闆使飛鏢貼，這就是為什麼他們是建立在大多數的放炮為盾牌。他們感覺很脆弱，但他們的形狀令人難以置信的好。當踏上塑料飛鏢，偶爾會改變，但他們的生存率也# 8217；T真的比軟飛鏢。

< P > < / P >

削弱和# 8217；年齡和生態係統了嗎？一個獨特的優勢，在其他人的空間。他們一直使用削弱硬件很長一段時間，人們已經想出了如何通過修改優化設備。有時這些變化是簡單的，除去導遊減少幹擾或調節扣，他們持有更多的飛鏢。在更極端的情況下，內部已與更強大的球迷更能增加消防電源電池供電的替代率。這意味著有人有詳細的教程，如何把你的孩子的安全40美元霸和把它變成一個機器，鼓勵人們站在十字戴護目鏡。

這種級別的修改不是# 8217；不可能boomco放炮，和無論這是否是一件好事，完全取決於你。美泰硬件完全依賴註入空氣，這意味著你# 8217；要抽你的坦克回來了，就像你在水槍戰中。這樣做的好處是，許多大boomco放炮有夾設計，火災所有的飛鏢與單扳機，排空空氣罐送上20省道駛嚮你的對手。有# 8217；冇有任何電池需要更換，這也意味著經常在一些人大聲的馬達的削弱放炮發現失蹤一樣。

所以，哪個更好？我想任何人採摘這些孩子或計劃跟孩子們一起玩，這boomco放炮是一個更好的主意。設計的樂趣，在# 8220；聰明的堅持與# 8221；提示交界的神奇，和放炮的整線是唯一令人興奮。如果你已經被放炮，或你的硬件優化辦公戰改裝很感興趣，你應該堅持削弱。每個人的存在，然而，這boomco放炮是廉價的，提供了一個很好的整體體驗。
