Nerf zombie strike sledgefire review6/23/2023 ![]() ![]() It’s a nice look for a more utilitarian blaster – you don’t need it to be fancy. The blaster itself largely eschews paint for the molded “tiger stripe” pattern in the blue plastic, similar to the Delta Trooper and Infinus. The stock isn’t anything stellar in terms of comfort, just some ribbed plastic to stick against the shoulder. The trigger handle is simple and open, and can accommodate most hands. The priming handle is a bit on the small side, but is perfectly adequate for using the blaster. After all, it has to accommodate the shells and the internal mechanisms. The Trilogy itself is fairly long and wide, but not annoyingly so. When loading shells, have one dart facing down. This is a lovely improvement, preventing shells from coming out during normal movement. The blaster features storage for five shells in the stock, with individual slots and plastic tabs to press against the shells. Even while level, this can happen on occasion, but it doesn’t seem to be common enough to truly detract from the fun. Tilting the blaster away from level can cause the shell to come out of alignment with its internal seat, preventing ejection. That action is usually sufficient to remove any loaded shells – provided you’re holding the blaster relatively level. Priming the blaster slides the loading door open it also quickly opens the side door and flips up a lever arm before closing that door again. The Trilogy features both a top loading door, and a side ejection door. ![]() Why the change? To support the new shell loading and ejection system, of course! However, the new shells are larger and rounder, with slots in the sides. ![]() Like the Sledgefire before it, the Trilogy fires three darts at a time from plastic “shotgun shells”. Purchase here (affiliate link that supports the site) Even if sometimes the shell ejection is a bit finicky. It just has to do its job relatively well – and it does. The Trilogy will not be everyone’s favorite flavor, but it doesn’t have to be. After the long absence of the Zombie Strike Sledgefire (and the bulky and silly “The Judge”), Nerf has finally given us another shotgun-type dart blaster. ![]()
