One issue with this gun is that the grip is a bit small, and people with larger hands might pinch or rub their hands when priming it. The grip is small enough that it also isn’t very comfortable to hold with just one hand. Who Should Buy The Mega XL Big Rig N-Strike Mega blasters sold in various countries in Europe are gray trigger blasters with weakened internals.

There are no sub-series that belong completely to N-Strike Mega. The only sub-series the theme has are shared with N-Strike Elite or Zombie Strike.

The Insides

One of the best things about these blasters is that they aren’t overpriced for the enormity. You aren’t gonna compete in a serious Nerf war gamewith them, but they are genuinely entertaining to play with. As you can see, the dart holders very lightly grip the darts. I don’t expect the clips to damage the darts in any way if you happen to leave them in between wars.

Many blasters under the Mega series advertises a firing range of up to a hundred feet (thirty meters). With a six-shot dart capacity, it also has the highest ammo capacity of the three. Each pump causes the drum cylinder to rotate and allows you to shoot one dart at a time. While Mega can shoot 60-70 FPS, the blasters featured in the article only shoot 55 FPS max. It only makes sense that XL generally has less range for now. Final Thoughts

Even though XL Nerf guns have lower FPS, you have to consider the ammo size. To get more power and distance, Nerf would have to make the priming a bit stiffer. The con is that they are not made for high FPS or range. We will have to see if they release more blasters with a bit more power.

Nerf is at its best when it’s being silly. Those of us that grew up in the 1990s don’t remember Nerf for long distance dart blasting. Instead, those fond memories are reserved for things like Ballzookas and Arrowstorms. We fired large ammo at opponents not because it was the most effective thing around, but because it was fun. The current feet per-second dart speed for Nerf Mega XL is about 50. When shooting the gun straight, the standard ranges are 30-50 feet. Best Nerf Mega XL GunsThe most notable thing about the Mega XL line, of course, is the giant blue dart. Whereas Mega darts are about 19mm in diameter, Mega XL jumps all the way to 30mm. It’s not quite Demolisher missile size, but it’s getting there! These darts weigh in at a shade a over six grams. Essentially, six times the mass of a normal dart. The Big Rig does as well as you’d expect, based on the other blasters we’ve seen. It averages 56fps with the humongous Mega XL darts. However, given both the time to reload and prime the blaster, you’re only looking at a shot every three seconds or so. This blaster is much more oriented for plinking than the other two in the line. Internals The Boom Dozer has a dart velocity of 5o FPS, which isn’t bad for the size of the ammo . You can compare the shooting speed to something like Nerf Jolt, which fires at the same power but with darts that are a third of the size. Nerf Mega blasters were introduced in 2013 and brought the then largest Nerf ammo, the Mega dart. While XL now may be bigger, they naturally don’t shoot as hard or far. In the Nerf Mega line, there are blasters that more compact and have a much great ammo capacity. You may have to just shoot them to understand, but the main pro is that have a silly and fun intimidation factor. I suppose the enormous size also makes finding your darts a bit easier.

The Double Crusher launches its massive ammo at 50 FPS, but doesn’t have great range. The max range is about 50 feet when with an angle, and the average straight shot will go 25-40 feet.

As stated above, the spring on this blaster is quite strong. Inside the blaster, we have a mechanism similar to that in the Ultra Four; that is, an extremely long priming motion is converted into a short movement of a stupidly strong spring.
