Nerf Zombie Strike Quadrot Toy

Not too tough to cock for younger people and leaves a little bit of a sting when you get hit. Fun and easy to use.

Surprisingly accurate aim. Darts go really far.Just bummed the bullets are slightly smaller diameter than other nerf darts. So the huge pack I just bought does not fit. 😖

I purchased these as part of Halloween countdown gifts for my kids. They are perfect. I also bought an extra dart pack as the Nerf gun doesn't come with very many. My kids are adults - so I'm not sure how kid friendly these Nerf guns would be - but they are perfect for my needs.

My son has so many dart guns, all brands and sizes. This is his favorite. He's four so some times he has a hard time pulling to shoot, but for the most part it's user friendly for younger kids.

Overall I do really like this blaster. The power of the shots are really good until you get to the 4th round & it slows down considerably. I would have given this gun 5 star except the cocking handle is a bit uncomfortable to the point I actually sanded it down some with a Dremel tool. But for the low price this little Nerf pistol looks good & works just fine!

Ordered a bunch of these for my son’s nerf birthday party as a party favor/to use at the party (we built barriers etc and they had a blast)For the price I thought these were a steal!! The kids had fun and got to take one home which made them even happier!! They shot great and nobody had any malfunctions so seemed to be great quality.

Currently in college, and we do many Nerf related activities, and this is easily the best in my small arsenal (delta trooper, flip furry, and this).The only weird thing is sometimes I'll put a dart in one of the slots, and one or two other darts will lift up slightly. At one point earlier today (after owning this gun for a few weeks) I couldn't actually keep all the darts all the way in the blaster because they kept lifting up. I suspect it had something to do with expanding air since after I took the darts out, and fired the blaster, the issue did not persist.

Nerf Zombiestrike Quadrot reviewThis is terrible. I don’t know where to begin. I typically start my reviews of Nerf products by stating that my ProChrono Digital chronograph measured the speed of the darts fired by this stock Zombiestrike blaster, but I had to start with how I felt about it. Anyway, with that sentiment out of the way I shall begin. The Quadrot produced an average of 61 feet per second (FPS) using Nerf Elite darts (it is capable of shooting any standard Nerf Elite darts; blue, green, white, orange, purple/grey, Starwars themed, Accustrike, battle-camouflage print, and decorated Rebelle darts). The standard average velocity of a Nerf Elite blaster is 70 FPS, so this is almost in Nerf Jolt territory (53 FPS). The reason for this has to be the size of the plunger tube. Not every blaster is endowed with a big plunger. Looking at the Quadrot’s shell, it does not look like there is enough space to fit a decent sized plunger in it. It could very well be smaller than that of the Jolt’s plunge tube. This is not the worst part about this blaster, though, as I am just beginning my list of complaints. Okay, let me start with the fact that there is no gimmick to this blaster; Most Zombiestrike blasters have some quirk that makes it special, and apparently this one does not. It is just a 4-dart pullback prime pistol that utilizes Nerf’s Smart AR (Smart Air Restrictor). For those of you unfamiliar with what that is, the Smart AR allows the user to fire one dart at a time in a specific hierarchy of chambers. The dart highest on the chamber sequence will fire next regardless of which chamber it is inserted into, but there is a weakness of this system. The trade-off is that the further down in the sequence you go, the weaker the velocity of each shot will be. The Quadrot’s first shot is already relatively weak at an average of 64 FPS (by itself; the 1st chamber shot 4 times). By the time it reaches the last shot, it should well be in the mid 50 FPS range (which is around the Nerf Jolt’s average FPS). The “T-bar” pullback priming handle is another reason to hate using this blaster because it is about as comfortable to use as two bolts with sharp edges, because it is modeled after it. They could have played down the hard plastic edges digging into your fingers as you pulled back on it. Personally, I think real bolt-screws might actually be more comfortable than this faux bolt-screw design. Amazingly, this is not the worst part either. After my initial testing I noticed a red mark on the base of the back of my thumb. The ergonomics of the pistol grip is obviously not very good, so I held the blaster and found that the screw post well that protrudes at the back of the blaster was digging into my hand as I was operating the blaster. Comfort was not at all a priority with the design and build of this blaster, that is for sure. The plastic faux handle wrap is actually preferred to the terror that it would have been on your fingers had there not been wrap there because another plastic faux bolt looms before and after the wrap, threateningly. The trigger-pull gives a pronounced and labored creaking sound, and feels almost like it wasn’t meant to be pulled. But the artistic appeal of the shell looks the part with it’s improvised slapped-together design look and electric lime green coloration which mirrors the rest of the green Zombiestrike blaster family members. The Quadrot could be the younger brother to the Crossfire Bow, the closest blaster in this family, and not many Nerfers liked the Crossfire Bow either. There is an awkward hole above the top barrel that can be used to attach a sling or Nerf bandolier, but it is the absolute worst place to put one, so technically the blaster has no usable sling mount attachment points. It’s only usable function that is not terrible is it’s Nerf tactical rail attachment point on the top dead center of the blaster. That’s it; That’s all the good it has going for it. In conclusion: this could have been an average blaster, and it’s multiple shortcomings could have been tolerable as a Nerf side-arm due to it’s decent size and weight, and also it’s simplistic operation. But it was “Nerfed” by a lack of ergonomics, likely a result of putting artistic appeal over form and function. If you are still reading this, do not buy this product. There are plenty of other Nerf pistols that are better than this one (literally, like any other one will do). It seems to work, but don’t want to use it. So what is the point of having it, right?
