I recently ordered an Elite XD Alpha Trooper because everyone says repeatedly it's the most awesomest blaster ever. The first one I got was a dud. Clearly there was something wrong with the mech, so I returned it and got another.

The second one however is not any better than my Rampage or StrongArm or upgraded FireStrike. In fact, any of my flywheel blasters seem to easily outperform my EXDAT. So what gives people ? Have I succumbed to peer pressure, or is this thing just another mediocre blaster with a frenzied fan base that can't be quelled ???

Bottom line, after three days of testing I am unimpressed. I ordered an OMW Unleashed Solid Stage 1 Kit in hopes that it transforms my EAT/EXDAT into a formidable dart throwing machine. But to the rest of Nerfdom I ask, is the stock EXDAT a great blaster ? Or is it just a decent blaster that doesn't crap out a lot ?

Sorry to be a descenter. I'm just telling the truth as I see it. These EXDATs seem to be just plain old Nerf guns, er, I mean blasters. Just sayin'
