Nerf Modulus Ghost Ops Evader Motorized Blaster - Light-Up See-Through Blaster and Barrel Extension, Includes 12 Official Elite Darts (Amazon Exclusive)

As a long-time fan of flywheel blasters, clear plastic to view internals AND compact design, the Nerf Modulus Ghost Ops Evader (too many proprietary adjectives there, Hasbro) is an instant hit on many fronts. Right out of the box, this is an impressive blaster that's a bit larger than it appears in pictures, but isn't oversized to the point of silliness. Beyond the Evader itself, this set also includes a cosmetic barrel attachment and a straight 12-round clip. It's worth noting that batteries are included with this product (demo only, but it's a nice gesture).Ergonomics and design on the Evader are at top notch levels. The Evader sits comfortably in the hands thanks to its compact foregrip (which also houses the light-up switch) and nicely rounded trigger well. The rev-switch for the flywheel is large and easy to work, and the trigger is smooth and comfortable. Perhaps best of all, the side-loaded magazine well is very close to the hands, making it easy to reload (unless you're left-handed, but even then it's not too bad).On looks alone, the Evader also gains praise for being both functional and flashy. The clear plastic allows you to see all the inner workings of the blaster, and the light-up function is both very bright and cool to see, especially from a short distance away. The only issue I'd take with this blaster's light-up function is that the blaster does not include glow-in-the-dark darts, as this seems like an obvious inclusion for a blaster like this, but honestly that's a small problem (and one that is easy to correct, if desired).Performance-wise, the Evader sits on par with the majority of small flywheel powered and semi-automatic blasters, such as the Elite Stryfe (https://www.amazon.com/Nerf-N-Strike-Elite-Stryfe-Blaster/dp/B009T45XNM/ref=sr_1_5?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1535466467&sr=1-5&keywords=nerf+stryfe&dpID=5194zMQELQL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch) or Doomlands Impact Zone Desolator (https://www.amazon.com/Nerf-Doomlands-Impact-Desolator-Exclusive/dp/B01IK534JK/ref=sr_1_6?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1535466467&sr=1-6&keywords=nerf+stryfe&dpID=412DU39hyWL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch). It's a bit larger than its cousins, but not ridiculously so, and while the price point sits a bit higher the clear design and light-up function help to address this cost somewhat. While it's nothing amazingly new, the Nerf Modulus Ghost Ops Evader is a fantastic addition to the Modulus lineup and a great start to the Ghost Ops product line!

There’s something truly special about this blaster. From the overall design to the internals of the blaster, there’s something worth appreciating. It’s an innovated blaster as it introduces Nerf fans to a new sub series (Ghost Ops). Additionally, this blaster has some unique features like the light up neon green LEDs in the blaster and choice of a clear design.The flywheels feel like butter, it’s a smooth action that you can actually see in motion. They are also relatively quiet when compared to other flywheel blasters. The overall sleek design feels incredible comfortable. Do note that for younger children, the grip and fore grip may feel slightly bigger than other blasters. This is a medium-sized blaster so adding the translucent Worker stock will make it a lengthy blaster. Even Nerf stocks may feel slightly lengthy, although there is enough variety of short stocks to combine with this blaster. I assume that more accessories including stocks will be added in the future of the Ghost Ops series, so this isn’t any real issue - especially because of how comfortable the blaster is without any stock.I want to emphasis how great of a modular blaster this is, it has three sling mounts and several rails for varies accessories.Overall, this is a unique blaster with a ton to appreciate for the price. It’s definately a hallmark amongst other blasters and phenomenal way to introduce a sub series.

Gun lights up, but motor is not working. Will not fire bullets. :(Birthday present for my son. Big bummer....^^^^^^DISREGARD MY REVIEW ABOVE ^^^^^^^^^^^As it was a b-day present for my son I did not want to tear it all out of the box before giving it to him. Therefore, I tried testing it out without putting all the pieces on the gun.In order to activate the flywheel mechanism, you have to snap ALL pieces onto the gun. The barrel, and rectangular piece that the ammo clip goes into, MUST be attached, to make the flywheel spin and shoot darts. I'm pretty sure I sent back a perfectly working gun (Sorry Seller) due to not putting everything together, and just assuimg that the gun was defective.Went to Target, bought another gun, and had the same issue with it not working. Sweet kid at Target showed me the error of my ways. We snapped the pieces in place and it works perfectly.

I bought this for my son and we all love is gun, it’s so unique. Although I almost threw it out today because I couldn’t get it to work. I thought the motor had gone bad. It turns out it was #1 below. I found this advice in a comment below and wanted to repost.Check all 3 of these, they must be engaged before the gun will work.There are 3 switches that need To be engaged in order for the flywheel to spin;1. The jam door must be closed and the switch will be up(black button by the back of the door)2. The switch that is next to that door, that is engaged when you insert the cartridge correctly. Look into the compartment where the cartridge slips in, you will see the plunger that moves the dart forward, and right next to that is a little orange lever that gets pushed back when the cartridge is inserted.3. The button underneath the trigger needs to be pushed in, which engages the third switch.
