The Nerf Rebelle now offers over 60 items that allow girls to exact revenge on their brothers and anyone who challenges them. Yeah, I am sure there are girls that would pickup a Nerf gun and blast it out with their brothers, but before the Nerf Rebelle line there was no Nerf product geared specifically towards girls. It's like the most bipolar thing Nerf has ever built.The Nerf brand has for the most part in my opinion been thought of as a brand that targeted mostly boys. Everything about the Revolution, from loading it to firing it takes finesse and if you don't treat it accordingly, it will most likely screw you over, be it dropping your ammo onto the floor or sending an arrow the wrong way into your TV. What was fun about the Thunderbow is that it's pick up and go and you can slam darts down range with that thing screaming bloody murder. It can possibly push a little more range with better practice too, but that's what really kills the usability factor of the Arrow Revolution is that it take practice. When it does fire properly, it fires hard and fast plus it's rather accurate, pushing about the 50 to 60 foot mark. Not to mention it's mostly dead silent apart from the screamer tip on the arrows and the faint mechanical noises of the quiver. That's provided the quiver didn't dump your arrows out onto the floor. It's slightly better at keeping arrows from spazzing out as soon as it leaves the bow but the Revolution still doesn't mind sending arrows out of the bow at a 90 degree angle right into your mother's fine china every now and then. Many people dogged on the the Agent Bow for being laughably inconsistent when it fired and this isn't much different. A Vortex Firestorm is easier to load and keep loaded than this thing and that's saying something.Ĭlose up of the resting position and the indentation where the arrow head rests when the bow is drawn.Īnd it just gets worse after that. It's seriously the most hilariously finicky shit I've ever used. It doesn't take much force to dislodge the arrows I dropped the bow from a foot high and the arrows just exploded everywhere. The front and rear sections of the quiver rotate independently of each other and loading the first arrow is a bit of pain in the ass and then it just sort of sits there. Loading the damn quiver isn't an easy task either. You basically have to hold it perfectly level to prevent the arrow from sliding out. You still have to nock the arrow yourself and there is a very high potential that the arrow the quiver just dumped into the resting position will slide out of the bow if you have it at a bad angle. And when I say load, I don't really mean "load", it's more like an assisted loading device that only gets half of the process done. The way it works is simple, you load the thing up with arrows and when you want to load an arrow into the bow, you pull the trigger and it rotates, forcing an arrow into the resting position. While most bows operate simply by hand loading every single shot or in case of the Thunderbow, a sequential Smart AR, the Revolution uses this nifty six round revolving quiver. What really makes the Arrow Revolution stand out from other bows is it's loading mechanism. That's why there are no internal shots for the Revolution, it's obviously got nothing to show. Unlike the Thunderbow, this string does indeed serves to propel the arrows whereas the Thunderbow actually used a catch system and a massive plunger all linked to the draw by a crap ton of gears. The elastic draw on it is notably strong but it isn't very difficult to pull. It's roughly the same size as the massive Thunderbow and it's relatively lightweight and comfortable to hold. Cosmetically it's not a bad looking bow and I know it's designed for girls but the almost neon noir color scheme make's it stand out quite a lot. The Arrow Revolution can be almost seen as an evolution of the Agent Bow since they use the same ammo type and fire much the same exact way.
