SO.

 

For the next semester's game of HvZ I want to prepare early. Like early early.

 

So I was thinking in addition to the Maverick and Secret Strike (and other, defective Secret Strike) that I bought for last semester's, and the Magstrike and ancient yet still functional single-shot gun I had at home (but didn't bring), I'd get another gun. One with controlled rapid fire.

 

Originally I was thinking a Raider, because hello 35-dart capacity. But then I read through the reviews and switched my preference to the Alpha Trooper, because it supposedly gets better range and it's about $15 cheaper. It has less than half the capacity, though, so I was thinking of getting the Flip Clip refill pack, which would then give me two six-dart clips and an additional 30 darts. But then I was thinking hey, if I'm getting a bunch of streamline darts, might as well go all-out and replace all my suction and tagger darts with them, so maybe I'll buy that 100-dart pack.

 

So in total that'd be about $55 worth of Nerf, which I'm not sure I want to spend.

 

I was thinking about cutting out either the Flip Clip pack or the 100-dart pack, but I'd like to have the extra clips when I'm on the move, and I'd also like to have plenty of darts so I don't have to worry too much about losing them. There are spare 18-dart drums available, but they only come with the necessary 18 darts and they're $5 more than the Flip Clip pack.

 

So, Nerf fans, what should I choose? All three? Pick two? Ditch them all and go for just sock flails?

To be honest reloading isn't that much of an issue when you've got a more than 10 dart stock. Especially in HvZ. Try playing with a single Maverick, hehe. Just keep extra clips on you at all times and the limited capacity shouldn't be a huge issue. That is if you're on a limited budget. Not having to reload all the time would be sweet, but also you probably won't need to spend 35 darts without a pause in one skirmish.

I did. I lasted for all of half an hour and spent the rest of the week as a zombie. (Though that was more of a technicality than anything else, because I didn't know the OZs were unmarked for the first hour!)

That's what I was thinking, but I don't have any clips or clip system guns, so I'd have to buy them all new. That's the reason I was checking out the flip clip, since it comes with two (and a bunch of darts).

 

(Because I would like to get a bunch of new darts. I lost exactly one of the twenty tagger darts I have [funny story, will probably share sometime], so there's an empty hole. And there's no way I'm going to have mismatched ammo clips.)

Oh man, you just missed Amazon's sale on the ammo boxes, they were $10 for 100 darts. $23 isn't too bad though.

 

They have the Flip Clip for $5.39 which is the best deal you're going to find.

 

I recommend the Alpha Trooper though it's totally awesome.

Aw. :[

 

But yeah I think I might just order those online (and have them shipped right to school, one less thing to bring with me when I go back) and pick up the AT in-store.

 

And lol @ Amazon having the Flip Clip with fewer darts being more expensive. And the 100-pack without ammo box being like $40.

 

e: hey look free shipping, nice

 

e2: bought. yay!
