Board Thread:General Nerf discussion/@comment-27306930-20160401013434

Well boys, I think I crossed over to the dark side. I went to the Walmarts tonight with every intention of buying a Modulus. But as I held the coveted prize in my hands, alone in isle 17, questioning my motives, I realized it looked a lot like a green white and gray version of my Stryfe. And I knew in my heart of hearts, there were crappy 130 motors under that shell that would need to be replaced. Plus some 14500's. And a decent bandolier. Then it dawned on me, "ka-ching, that's a whole lot of work to make this thing into another Stryfe". Then I gently slid it back on the shelf, bidding it a fond farewell.

As I gazed down the isle, my eye caught a Zeus. A Red-Team version, with its glossy black box emboldened with the words "Motorized" burning my retinas. In a moment of weakness, I caved. Now, not yet two hours later, I'm the proud owner of a Rival. Darts be d@mned. I've got balls now !

Hmmm, that came out wrong. But literally, I've got balls all over the place. A pair of balls here, a pair of balls there, one under the couch, another rolled under the cupboard. You fire this thing for 4 seconds, then spend the next 15 minutes trying to figure out where all your ammo went.

On the plus side, Nerf figured out the accuracy thing. The Zeus shoots consistently every time. Every ... single ... time. There are no strays, no weird curves, no fishtailing. Straight and consistent every time. And loading it is a breeze. Just pop those puppies in the tube as fast as you can, and it's ready to go.

Of course, these little fU(keR$ bounce every which way, and roll under every hard to get place they can find. But wow, in a firefight, gimme a Zeus. With the power of 6 C batteries I'll smack my balls in your face over and over. Hmmm, that came out wrong too.

Just saying, my dart slingin' brothers, you need to try a Rival. Maybe play with yer balls just once. Then go back to phallic darts, like real men ;-)
