Nerf N-Strike Stampede ECS

Nerf Stampede.... where to start?

First of all, this is a great toy for little kids, big kids and adults alike. it shoots about 3 darts per sec. Comes with 60 darts, 3x18 dart clips and 1x6 dart clip.
It also has a bi-pod/foregrip and a shield (the shield is pretty fun but its nigh-impossible to aim while using it).
It requires 6xD batteries which does make the back of the gun a bit heavy. but nowhere near as heavy as the vulcan.
Pros/Cons:

Pros:
Fully automatic
4 clips and lots of darts in the box + goodies (shield/grip)
Good weight (can be fired with one hand but isnt so light that its not much fun using)
Darts fire about 10m/30ft.
theres alot of rails for sights/lasers/torches
its just a really good gun

Cons:
Cannot be fired without batteries (no manual single shot action like in the vulcan (but the vulcan did jam a hell of a lot)
jam clearing door does tend to pop open sometimes. the locking action is a bit weak (easier for small kids annoying for big ones)
loading an 18 dart clip from scratch is a tad annoying after a while

The grip does not lock that well!!! if you pick the gun up by the foregrip the grip will slide off the gun and the gun will fall. This ISNT a bother when your shooting since it only slides one way... but realisticly the grip is there not only to hold but to pick up aswell.

Overall:
A bit educational since you can see how the gun works (but what kid will bother to understand it)
Its not full metal... it will break if you drop it from a height but it is NERF... NERF products have been known to last a hell of a long time.
Its alot of fun. shooting at siblings or other people makes this gun alot of fun.(or playing Humans vs Zombies on uni campus).

My advice is if you can afford it and you are into these; it is VERY good value for money.

This gun is AMAZING! I find it so fun, I've played it every days since I got it!! Dispite it being plasic it has very strong design. It has 6 tactical rails where you can put laszer sights, bio-pods, shields, pistols and ather nerf attachments. (it only comes with a grip/bio-pod and blast shield.) I love the mags as they hold 18 bullets and are really easy to reload (you just to press a button!) This gun has encoureged me to play out side alot more and even get me off the Xbox! It can fire up to 40 feet(12.19m)! all thought the average is about 30 (9.144m)!!! One last this, this gun vertuly NEVER gets jamed, and on the rare acasion that it dose, you can unjam it in under 5 secs!!!!!!!! This gun is the best nerf gun so far. If you have the money I would advise for you to buy this gun, over all the other nerf guns!:D:D:D:D

What a laugh!!!!.......... I bought this for my 7 year old grandson who absolutely loves it.
He plays with it everytime he comes to us and I have lost count of how many times I've been shot with it.
He already had the N-Srike Rapide with the drum magazine which works great with the Stampede as well.
We are forever finding darts around the house. I can't imagine a little boy who wouldn't love this item.
