Nope, nope, nope, not buying it. I splurged. I bought a chronograph. I bought a 100' tape measure. I have an indoor test range. I can actually test these specious claims. I don't care what color Kool-Aid you've been drinkin', you need to google "specious".

I love the Spectre barrel extension. It looks cool, it fits great, it's color coordinated, it's got all those little vent holes. It even silences your kill shots, or so I've been told. What's not to like about it ?

Ahhh yes, then there's the science. The pesky science. The inconvenient trial-and-error, peer reviewed science that everyone loves to hate. So here goes - The Spectre barrel attachment has no effect on range or accuracy. None. Nada. Zero. Ziltch.

I've measured the FPS, I've measured the range, I've tried different blasters, and different darts. Zero. Ziltch. The Spectre barrel has no effect on the performance of any blaster I've ever attached it to. As far as I can tell, it's purely cosmetic.

I'm sorry Nerf experts, conspiracy theorists, and purveyors of old wive's tales. You're wrong about the Spectre barrel. You're wrong about almost every other Nerf barrel extension too. You've just never had anyone with the right equipment, experience, and knowledge, call you out on your BS.
